Among them, 80 volunteers are Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and Chinese Taiwan students as well as international students.

"This is my second time serving as a Canton Fair volunteer. Though I worked alone last time, I have more companions this time. I will provide volunteer service alongside 40 international students from my school at the Canton Fair." said Tolonbubu from Kyrgyzstan, a second-year graduate student majoring in tourism management at South China University of Technology. At the 133rd Canton Fair, she participated in the volunteer service for the first time.

As an international student, Tolonbubu speaks four languages: Kyrgyz, Russian, English, and Chinese. She said, "In the Canton Fair volunteer service, I can communicate with merchants from different countries and regions. By providing language services, I can help merchants participate in the Canton Fair smoothly and introduce Guangzhou's tourist attractions and cuisine to them."

It is reported that at the 135th Canton Fair, the Committee of the Communist Youth League of China in Haizhu District united with 20 universities including Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology, Jinan University, and Guangdong University of Finance and Economics to form 51 university volunteer teams, leveraging the strength of university volunteer teams to expand the scope of volunteers at the Canton Fair.
