An 80-year-old Asian Games volunteer with a pacemaker - Wu Guangyu

Wu Guangyu did not change his heart until the last time. The 80-year-old Zhou Jiaxuan still insisted on being on the road to volunteers. Just as the old man often hangs his mouth, the phrase "Being a man to make meritorious deeds, it is okay to eat some losses." On the 19th of this month, the oldest volunteer of the Guangzhou Asian Games died of illness, at the age of 83.

Zhou Jiaxuan, a native of Huanggang, Hubei Province, was the chief accountant of the Guangzhou Branch of China North Industries Corporation before his retirement. In 1983, Zhou Jiaxuan and his wife moved to Guangzhou due to work transfer. Because the weather in Guangzhou is warm, the elderly prefer it. This residence is more than 30 years.

In September 2019, the Volunteer Department of the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee received a special application. The 80-year-old Zhou Jiaxuan and Xiang Yunping and his wife wanted to join the ranks of 1.5 million Asian Games volunteers. The old man said that although the action is not as good as the young people, the Asian Games can be promoted through the network of acquaintances. In this way, the old couple became the oldest volunteers in the Guangzhou Asian Games.

Zhou Jiaxuan's heart is not good. In 10 years, due to severe heart failure, he changed 3 pacemakers. During the Guangzhou Asian Games, he was a volunteer with a pacemaker.

Because he couldn't do too much outdoor activities, Zhou Jiaxuan changed his way to the Asian Games in his own way. In the relics of the old man, there is an address book with various symbols. This is one of the records of the old man who made a phone call and invited friends to come to the house for free during the Asian Games. During the Asian Games, more than 60 friends were invited to visit Guangzhou.

Yue Jia, a staff member of the Guangzhou Youth League Committee, remembers that the old man once stood on the crutches, stood on the top and bottom of the new life station, and directed the way to the inspectors to introduce authentic food. One stop is three hours, and there are laughs and laughs throughout the journey. At that time, everyone did not know that Zhou was wearing a pacemaker as a volunteer.
