<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Nov. 11, 2009: The snow in Beijing on November 10th<br />

caused the <strong>PKU</strong> campus to look like a scene from a painting, but also instigated<br />

great inconvenience for transportation. Thus, this morning, <strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> (<strong>PKU</strong>)<br />

Youth Volunteers Association, Student Union, Graduate Student Union, and Loving<br />

Hearts Society issued a proposal to call all youth volunteers‘ organizations and all<br />

the students to join in the snow-sweeping volunteer team. They hoped that everyone<br />

could sweep the snow in his or her surroundings to create a safer campus for the<br />

teachers and students, the old and young.<br />

At 9 o‘clock, about ten student volunteers from School <strong>of</strong> Electronics Engineering<br />

and Computer Science, dressed in colorful vests, came to the Triangle to clear the<br />

snow with brooms and shovels. The Triangle is one <strong>of</strong> the main roads connecting the<br />

dormitory areas to the classrooms, thus making this area a top priority for snow<br />

removal. Through their hard work, these volunteers cleared the snow here in a short<br />

time and provided a great convenience to teachers and students. There were also a<br />

large number <strong>of</strong> volunteers from the Youth Volunteers Associations <strong>of</strong> Department <strong>of</strong><br />

Chinese Language and Literature, Department <strong>of</strong> History, and The Guanghua<br />
