On the morning of September 7, the Western Returned Scholars Association, the Overseas Chinese Association, the Office of International Cooperation and Exchange, and the Stirling College of Chengdu University (CDU) jointly did volunteer services for Chengdu University Garden Community. Led by Du Jie, President of the Western Returned Scholars Association (Overseas-educated Scholars Association of China) and Director of the Office of International Cooperation and Exchange, and Yang Chun, President of the Overseas Chinese Association, eight overseas Chinese and returned students and three foreign teachers participated in an online training program given by Chai Ming, Director of the New Zealand Exchange Center, and volunteered for the day. The team assisted in the collection of nucleic acid testing information for a total of 2,418 people.

Chaphiporn Kiatkachatharn (Chinese name: Guan Guoxing), Director of the Thailand Exchange Center at CDU and a Thai expert as a recipient of the Chinese Government Friendship Award, the Tianfu Friendship Award, and the Jinsha Friendship Award, volunteered for the pandemic prevention and undertook the whole work of nucleic acid testing information collection. Duncan Collis, the Executive Dean of Stirling College (UK team) at CDU , measured the one-meter spacing with a tape measure in hand and carefully kept the queuing in order. Jiratchaya Namwong (Chinese name: Lin Qing), a Thai teacher from the College of Foreign Languages and Cultures, joined the volunteer team immediately after an online class.

The foreigners entered information and maintained order in foreign languages or in mandarin or Sichuan dialect, drawing the attention and praise from the residents. Mr. Duncan Collis took a ruler and repeated the words "one meter" to ensure that residents keep a one-meter distance. "We have been taken care of very well in the community and many people have reached out to help us in chat groups to make sure we have enough food, water and other necessities. So I want to do something to give back to the community and show my appreciation," said Guan Guoxing, Director of the Thailand Exchange Center, with such sentiments. "This is the first time I have volunteered as a pandemic prevention worker, and I can feel the painstaking efforts of medical staff, which reminds us to attach more importance to epidemic prevention and control, to reduce the pressure on them, and I have a deeper understanding from the experience," said Lin Qing, a Thai teacher. China and Thailand are one family! Cheer up, Sichuan! Cheer up, Chengdu! Wang Yige, former foreign Dean of the Confucius Institute at the University of New Hampshire, a Research Fellow at Chengdu University and a high-level foreign expert, was unable to join the volunteer team due to a class, but managed to attend the volunteer training session.
