Award-winning Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan is working on a short film for the 16th Asian Games' volunteers. The big sports event will be held in south China's Guangzhou city from November 12 to 27, Nfdaily.cn reports.

Lu will focus the two-and-half-minute film on four volunteers and document their efforts to help prepare for the Asian Games, the report says.

The director of "Kekexili: Mountain Patrol" said he was once deeply touched by a volunteer from Guangzhou while filming "Kekexili" in the barren lands of Qinghai Province.

"That girl lived in a tent for three months without computers, a telephone, even vegetables. She only had instant noodles," Lu recalled. "She left me with a very positive impression of Guangzhou volunteers."

The short film is scheduled to reach audiences at the end of this month.
