——A Chronicle of the Company’s 2026 Team-Building and Outward‑Bound Event

In the height of summer, all things flourish in vibrant splendor. From August 8 to 9, the company organized a two-day team-building and outdoor‑expansion event at Shen Niuxi and Qingliangzhai, under the theme “Unite Strengths, Collaborate, and Co‑Create the Future.” Guided by the spirit of “Embracing inclusiveness to tackle challenges together, proactively stepping up to take responsibility,” the program seamlessly integrated strategic deliberation with team‑building activities. Amidst picturesque landscapes, participants forged shared consensus and reaffirmed their original aspirations through collaborative efforts, injecting powerful momentum into the second half of the year’s work.

By embracing the “one‑circle‑to‑the‑end” approach, we gain insight into the art of inclusiveness and, through collaboration, forge a united force to tackle tough challenges.

On the first day of the team‑building event, during the “One Circle to the End” activity, team members linked hands to form a tight circle, passing a hula hoop sequentially through each person’s body without letting go. Though it appears simple, the exercise tests everyone’s flexibility and sense of rhythm, while also calling for mutual understanding and patience—when the hula hoop gets stuck at a particular point, there are no complaints, only coordinated adjustments; when the rhythm falters, there is no blame, only a concerted effort to regain sync. In this single circle lies trust in one another, and it conveys a spirit of open‑mindedness and inclusiveness.

Inclusiveness is the lubricant that helps us overcome challenges. As our company meetings emphasize—“Always embrace inclusiveness to tackle difficulties together”—as we push forward with our key initiatives in the second half of the year, we will inevitably encounter overlapping processes and blurred lines of responsibility, and we will face clashes between differing perspectives and approaches. Only by cultivating a spirit of inclusiveness—by practicing more empathy and perspective‑taking, and by setting aside self‑centered concerns—can we identify common ground amid differences, harness the greatest collective strength through collaboration, and ensure that our team, like a mighty ship, sails steadily through turbulent waters.

By “building the tower through concerted effort,” we forge a spirit of responsibility and uphold our duties and mission in filling in where others fall short.

In the “Building the Tower Together” segment, each team must divide tasks and collaborate, stacking scattered building blocks layer by layer until the tower reaches its peak. Some focus on stabilizing the base, others on precise placement, and still others on overseeing the whole operation—any single link breaking would cause the tower to topple. The most touching moment of the activity comes when, as the tower begins to wobble slightly, a teammate instinctively reaches out to steady it: it’s not part of their assigned role, yet it’s the kind of spontaneous response that springs from the team’s shared need.

This is a vivid illustration of “proactively stepping into the breach and shouldering responsibility.” In the second half of the year, market competition will only intensify, and our goals and tasks will be even more daunting. Taking responsibility is not just a slogan—it is the helping hand we extend when a colleague faces difficulties, the extra effort we willingly shoulder when a project has a gap, and the resolute response of “Leave it to me” when the organization calls. When each of us fills one more role, our team loses one less weakness; when we take on one more share of responsibility, our development gains an added layer of solidity. By proactively stepping in to fill gaps, we address our team’s shortcomings and build the towering edifice of our shared cause.

Upholding the essence of collaboration with the “Unfailing Forest,” we carry forward the torch of perseverance through each relay.

In the “Unfailing Forest” activity, each participant holds a PVC pipe standing upright on the ground. At the signal, everyone moves simultaneously to steady the pipe of the teammate ahead, much like a forest that remains standing through an unbroken relay. This game recognizes no lone heroes—only seamless coordination; no solitary efforts—only tightly linked links. The stability of the person in front provides confidence for the one behind, while the support offered by the next ensures peace of mind for the one before. Baton after baton, what is passed on is responsibility; leg after leg, what endures is collaboration.

This is precisely the trajectory of the company’s current development: all business lines are tightly interconnected, and every department relies on the others for success. As we embark on the second half of the year, we must, like the “unfalling forest,” establish an efficient information‑sharing system and seamless collaborative workflows, ensuring that no task is left disjointed, interrupted, or adrift. The upstream processes create the conditions for downstream operations, while the downstream processes help identify and address gaps in the upstream work, fostering a company‑wide culture of alignment—where everyone shares a common purpose and works in unison.

Taking the practice of landscape painting as an opportunity, we anchor our course forward through scholarly discussion.

During the event, a series of thematic meetings were held in the conference room at Qingliangzhai. Free from the hustle and bustle of the city and far removed from the minutiae of daily life, participants engaged in candid dialogue and vigorous brainstorming around the strategic objectives for the second half of the year, further aligning their thinking and clarifying the roadmap ahead. The meeting transformed the guiding principle of “always embracing inclusiveness to tackle challenges together and proactively stepping up to assume responsibility” into a shared commitment to action, calling on all cadres and employees to approach inter‑departmental collaboration with an inclusive mindset, confront development‑related challenges with bold resolve, and ensure the high‑quality completion of the year’s goals and tasks.

The two-day journey was not only a chance to relax the body but also to recharge the spirit; it was a moment of emotional connection and a gathering of strength. Amid the rushing currents of Shen Niuxi, we came to appreciate the wisdom of adapting to the flow; among the verdant hills and bamboo groves of Qingliangzhai, we drew inspiration from resilience and upward momentum. As team members, clad in their uniform attire, struck victory signs before the camera, what emerged was more than just a snapshot—it was a declaration that the team was ready to regroup and set out once again.

When we pool our strengths and work in synergy, success is assured; when we co‑create the future, the prospects are bright. With the second half of the year already underway, let us carry forward the spirit of inclusiveness, collaborative power, and courageous responsibility forged during our team‑building activities, embedding them in every aspect of our work. With a mindset of “always embracing inclusivity to tackle challenges together,” and a commitment to “proactively stepping up and shouldering responsibility,” we will forge ahead, overcoming obstacles and achieving new milestones on the path to the company’s high‑quality development.
