Volunteers provide "good faith air tickets"

On March 18, the National Project Office of the Western Plan and China Eastern Airlines held a signing ceremony for the "Honest Air Ticket". College students' volunteers of the Western Plan will receive the "Honest Air Ticket" from China Eastern Airlines, realizing "free flight first, and then self payment". China Eastern Airlines will provide 2700 round-trip "integrity air tickets" for volunteers of the Western Plan within three years, and 600 will be launched in 2016. "Honest ticket" adopts "public welfare price" that is lower than the market price. It is one of the first batch of college student volunteers of the Western Plan who participate in voluntary services in Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. After the volunteers get the "integrity ticket", they can first use it within one year, and then pay the ticket fee to China Eastern Airlines according to the agreed period.

Wang Mingxue, Deputy Director of Youth Volunteer Department of the Youth League Central Committee

The National College Students Volunteer Service Western Plan, or "Western Plan" for short. Today, the West Plan cooperates with China Eastern Airlines and the West East to jointly launch a good thing - "integrity ticket". As a former volunteer and now a volunteer service worker, on behalf of the China Youth Volunteer Association and the Volunteer Department of the Communist Youth League Central Committee, I would like to express my sincere respect and heartfelt thanks to China Eastern Airlines, which has given great support to the vast number of volunteers in the Western Plan.

Just now, we saw a propaganda film about the Western Plan, and got a general understanding of the Western Plan. The Western Plan has been implemented for 13 years under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. At present, there are 19300 volunteers on duty, from more than 1800 universities across the country. The Western Plan is implemented in accordance with seven special organizations, namely, basic education, agricultural science and technology, medical and health care, youth work at the grassroots level, social management at the grassroots level, serving Tibet, and serving Xinjiang. With the focus on the western part of China, volunteers are distributed in 22 provinces, cities, autonomous regions, and more than 2100 counties, cities, and banners of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out that the cause of Chinese youth volunteers is a major initiative of the Communist Youth League led by our party to innovate the field of social work and serve social needs under the new historical conditions. In his two replies to volunteers and volunteer teaching teams, he encouraged and hoped that more and more young people would make contributions to the grassroots and the people. Since the implementation of the Western Plan, a large number of volunteers have gone to the west to serve and start businesses in the form of voluntary service, which has strongly supported the coordinated development of the region and the long-term stability of the west. Over the past 13 years, more than 200000 volunteers have been sent, including more than 14000 volunteers from 189 key universities. With their practical actions, the lovely young volunteers are carrying forward the volunteer spirit of dedication, friendship, mutual assistance and progress. Many volunteers choose to stay in the local area, stay in the west, stay at the grassroots level, start a family and business there, continue to struggle at the grassroots level in the west, and make contributions to the construction and social development of the west.

The implementation of the Western Plan has had a strong impact on the whole society. Among young people, especially young students, the value orientation and career choice of going to the west, to the grass-roots level, and to the places where the motherland and people most need to go have been established. As a performance appraisal project of the central finance and a sub project of the national major talent project, the central finance has provided the most basic support and guarantee for this, supporting and guaranteeing the basic food and housing of volunteers. However, the volunteers are all fresh graduates, and they are basically in the hard areas in the west, so they need strong support and attention from all walks of life. As an enterprise with world taste and oriental charm, China Eastern Airlines' rigorous, efficient and passionate enterprise spirit is very similar to the volunteers' spirit of solid service, life experience, youth dedication and future creation! Therefore, we have cooperated with each other to launch the "integrity ticket" for the volunteers of the Western Plan. We hope that through our cooperation, we can not only bring some practical support to the volunteers and show the image of corporate citizens, but also hope that through this activity, we can further promote the core socialist value of integrity in the whole society and promote the better spread of the spirit of volunteer service, Better let everyone support and participate in voluntary services to build a more harmonious and beautiful society.

At this moment, it can be said that many volunteers work at the head of the Yangtze River, and we gather at the end of the Yangtze River. Although thousands of miles away, we have built integrity. The West and East have cooperated, and the North and South have more support. I hope that friends from all over the world, including young friends present and friends from news media from all over the world, will pay attention to the integrity air ticket activities, We will continue to pay great attention to and support volunteer services and volunteers.

I wish the integrity ticket event a complete success, thank you!
