At the end of the year, we gathered together in joy. On the evening of February 5th, the banquet hall of the Langham Hotel in Xiamen was filled with warmth as over four hundred colleagues, dressed in their finest attire, attended the event. The meticulous arrangements at the registration area and the magnificent lighting in the main hall reflected the organization's thoughtful attention to detail. Everyone shared their achievements of the past year, exchanged insights from their work, and their faces beamed with genuine smiles. The red-themed decorations reflected everyone's enthusiasm, and the carefully designed segments connected the entire event. At this moment, we were not only colleagues, but also partners striving side by side. This gathering was both a warm reflection on the past and a beautiful anticipation for the future.
A Moment of Glory: A Tribute to Struggle and Legacy
At 6:08 PM that evening, the awards ceremony officially commenced with rousing music. The conference featured six important awards, and the recipient of the "Outstanding Contribution Award"—a representative from the technology R&D team—shared their heartfelt sentiments on stage: "This honor belongs to every member of our team for their tireless dedication and hard work day and night." This year, 28 outstanding employees and 9 advanced teams were recognized, showcasing their professionalism and commitment through their remarkable achievements. The inaugural "New Force Award" was presented to three young employees with relatively short tenures, not only recognizing their personal growth but also conveying a clear signal that the company values talent development and encourages the growth of the next generation.
Showcasing Talent: Diverse Talents Shine in a Cultural Feast
The cultural performance segment became a wonderful stage to showcase the employees' diverse talents. The original musical "Chasing the Light," presented by the Marketing Department, artistically recreated the true story of the team overcoming technical challenges; the classical dance "Splendid Chapter," adapted by the Finance Department, perfectly blended traditional culture with modern aesthetics; and the band performance "New Journey," composed of employees from different departments, brought the atmosphere to a climax. The gala's director revealed in a backstage interview, "All the programs were meticulously choreographed by employees in their spare time, taking more than two months to prepare. We witnessed so much touching dedication." The interspersed interactive segments were equally精彩纷呈 (splendid and varied), with a specially designed "Time Capsule" activity allowing employees to write down their expectations for next year. These letters will be sealed and opened at this time next year, becoming a warm promise across time.
Warm Gathering: Fine Food and Wine Witness Deep Affection
As the banquet began, forty-two carefully prepared tables were gradually presented. The menu specially incorporated Minnan (Southern Fujian) specialties and traditional New Year flavors. Dishes such as the "Unity and Win-Win" platter and "Good Fortune" lobster not only symbolized good luck but also catered to the taste preferences of employees from different regions. During the gathering, colleagues raised their glasses in toasts, shared anecdotes from work, and discussed life's insights. Several long-time employees remarked, "This time of year is not only a celebration of achievements, but also a moment to feel the warmth of our big family." Notably, the organizing committee arranged a dedicated driver service to ensure the safe return home of colleagues who had consumed alcohol, a thoughtful gesture that received widespread praise. An unexpected highlight of the banquet was the impromptu "Words of Wishes from Senior Employees," where several retiring employees shared their decades of professional experience, moving many younger employees.
This nearly five-hour annual celebration was not merely a ceremony, but a profound cultural immersion and spiritual baptism. It vividly illustrated the value of hard work, warmly united the team, and solemnly paid tribute to the extraordinary in the ordinary. While the starlight of the night will fade, the ignited passion, strengthened sense of belonging, and elevated emotions will undoubtedly transform into a powerful driving force for progress in the new year. Standing at this new starting point, all colleagues will carry this honor and emotion with us, and with even greater enthusiasm, jointly write an even more brilliant chapter of development and welcome a hopeful tomorrow.
