Set sail on a new journey, and usher in new hopes.

As the year draws to a close and winter deepens, warmth still lingers. As the calendar for 2024 quietly turns its final page, Zhongqin concluded the past year’s endeavors with an annual gala titled “Moving Forward Together on a New Journey—Gathering Strength to Usher in a Brilliant New Chapter.” This event not only marked a perfect conclusion to the year’s hard work but also ignited a spark of hope for the coming year, 2025. The gathering, which brought together all our colleagues, was not merely a celebration and tribute to this year’s achievements—it was also a heartfelt exchange of souls and a powerful unification of efforts. As each Zhongqin colleague looked back on the past year, they found renewed clarity and determination; and as they came together in joyous camaraderie, they gathered the strength needed to move forward with even greater vigor.

“This past year, we withstood the pressures of the market environment and achieved a 15% year-on-year increase in revenue from our core business. During this year, we continuously refined our industry ecosystem and earned more than ten prestigious industry certifications. This year, our customer satisfaction reached 98%, and we received over 20 letters of gratitude from customers across the country…” Every single partner has been instrumental in achieving these remarkable results—and each one is the company’s most precious asset.

If the retrospective short film was a tribute to the past, then the annual awards ceremony was a celebration of those who have strived and persevered. Amidst enthusiastic applause, numerous awards—including “Employee of the Year,” “Innovation Pioneer of the Year,” “Team Contribution Award of the Year,” and “Service Star of the Year”—were announced one after another. Behind each winner’s name lies a story of dedication, innovation, and responsibility.

Each award presentation is a transmission of spirit; each winner’s acceptance speech is a transmission of strength. As the honored colleagues receive their certificates and trophies, what echoes from the audience is not just applause—it’s also recognition and emulation of the role models they represent. And of course, there’s the wonderful artistic performance: though it features no professional actors, it conveys the most genuine emotions; though it lacks elaborate stage effects, it exudes the most fervent power of inspiration.

During the performance breaks, interspersed interactive games further heated up the atmosphere in the venue. “Draw and Guess” tested the teamwork among colleagues, while the “Lucky Draw” kept everyone on the edge of their seats with one surprise after another.

As the dinner hour approached, the exquisite dishes on the table filled the air with tantalizing aromas, while the fine wine in our glasses exuded a rich, sweet flavor. Colleagues raised their glasses in a toast, sharing heartfelt reflections on the past year and enthusiastically envisioning plans for the coming one. Those who usually lead busy lives set aside their work fatigue for a moment, drawing closer to one another amid laughter and cheerful conversation. “In the new year,” one colleague said, “our department plans to roll out even higher-quality service solutions. We’ll need your tech team’s continued support then!” “No problem,” replied another. “Let’s work together and strive for even greater achievements next year!” Such exchanges echoed occasionally around the dinner table, embodying our shared determination to unite and achieve success as one.

In 2025, may we continue to hold our passion close to our hearts and move forward side by side. May the emotions and strength we feel tonight inspire us with the courage to strive even harder tomorrow; may the hopes and promises we share today become a beautiful reality in the days ahead.

After the grand ceremony concluded, our colleagues set off on their way home, filled with deep emotion and renewed confidence. In the night, some hummed songs from the evening’s festivities, while others discussed their plans for the coming year—each face brimming with anticipation for the future. This annual gathering was not merely a time to review the past year and celebrate together; it was also a spiritual cleansing and a powerful moment of unity and strength.
