Exchanging Gifts
On Oct. 22, 200m obstacle swim, 100m manikin tow with fins, and 4×50m medley relay kicked off at Wuhan Five Rings Sports Center. After the competition, one of the Dutch athletes didn't leave right away but chose to give a special gift to volunteer Li Yongxing. Li served as an assistant for the Netherlands delegation during lifesaving games, providing guidance and interpretation for the athletes.
The gift was a ceramic pot with scenery of Amsterdam's streets painted on it, and a bag of waffles packed carefully in a blue gift box. Li was delighted with the unexpected gift and sent a traditional folding fan in exchange. The fan had two Chinese characters "清风(qīng fēng)" on it, which means gentle breeze.
