All those school children "volunteers", are alot like PRC 10-20
years ago, whenever some foreign dignitaries visit China, they
would get these young school children to line the aircraft taxiway
waving pompoms to welcome these foreign guest. 
Perhaps that is what was on LHL's mind when he observed the
volunteer's participation rate in China during the 2008 Olympic
Games.
欢迎欢迎, 热列欢迎!!!

LHL's insights
into the Beijing Olympic Games:
China is now hosting the Olympic Games. They’ve made a huge
effort to welcome the athletes and the visitors. And you watched
the opening ceremony, that’s spectacular. But what you may not have
noticed, that they had launched large-scale civility campaigns to
educate people. And they designated special days of the month for
special movements.
So the 11th of the month is queueing up day – ‘pai dui re’ –
because 11 (one one). The 22nd of every month is give your way to
others, give your seat to others day – ‘rang wei re’ – because 22
looks like two chairs side by side.
For the games they mobilised 100,000 volunteers, mostly
young men and women, university students, others. And tremendous
pride in their country and every willingness to go the extra mile
impressing the visitors, that here is a people who are proud of
their country and who want to make visitors feel welcome.
