The China Textile City Sports Center Stadium witnessed the final day of competition in this year's Asian Games on Sept 26.

The stadium hosted 17 men's volleyball matches and welcomed nearly 500 domestic and international media journalists.

"My friends and I found our names included in the material for online media reports, which can be seen by both Chinese and international journalists," said Pan Jingyao, a volunteer from the Zhijiang College of Zhejiang University of Technology.

During the event, she and two other volunteers helped Xinhua News Agency's foreign expert, Andrew, in translating and uploading interviews with volleyball players. In a touching gesture of appreciation, Andrew included their names in the reports.

In the media area of the stadium, there was a message in the guestbook from Brazilian journalist Marina to Pan.

"I am delighted to have met you at the volleyball stadium. Thank you for your assistance. I hope you enjoy the Asian Games,” the foreign journalist wrote.
