As the 2018 New Year approached, in order to create a festive atmosphere, the Machinery Company held a unique New Year–themed sports event on the afternoon of the 29th. Throughout the entire afternoon, the venue was awash with enthusiastic cheers, shouts, and applause.

This year’s fun sports meet broke with the traditional grouping system of workshops and departments, better reflecting both fairness and a spirit of unity. Four team captains took the lead, freely selecting their teammates—while also upholding the time-honored tradition of giving priority to women. Once formed, each team blended into a cohesive unit, striving together for ultimate victory. The event featured 46 participants, with a judging panel composed of four company executives. Seven engaging activities were on the program: a “pig‑herding” relay, a one‑legged hop relay, balloon‑stomping, “carrot squat,” coordinated race walking, a table‑tennis match, an “Invincible Wind‑Fire Wheel” challenge, and a team‑based tug‑of‑war. The lineup included both individual contests and collaborative events, creating an atmosphere of lively enthusiasm. Employees worked in unison, competing with determination and camaraderie; every event was not only a test of skill and stamina but also a perfect showcase of teamwork and cooperation. Cheers and shouts of encouragement rose and fell throughout the venue, while the uniquely entertaining challenges sent waves of laughter rippling through every corner of the field. During the coordinated race‑walking event, teams of five pressed forward with all their might, but two squads lost their balance, and when one member stumbled, the entire team tumbled—sending everyone into peals of laughter.

When the final grand finale—the tug-of-war—began, every team member let out a rallying cry, gripped the long rope with both hands, and pulled with all their might, their faces flushed red as they gave it their all. The spirit of teamwork was on full display! Cheerleaders from each team shouted in unison, cheering their teams on, filling the arena with an electrifying atmosphere. In particular, the race for first place saw two teams evenly matched, locked in a fiercely contested battle that wasn’t decided until a decisive tiebreaker!

Although the competition was fiercely spirited, the spirit of “friendship first, competition second” remained deeply ingrained in everyone’s hearts, and the principle of “safety first” was always kept foremost in mind. Throughout the events, participants cheered each other on, and the sports venue was filled with a joyful, harmonious atmosphere.
After three hours of intense competition, the fun-filled sports event came to a close amid everyone’s laughter, with the team led by Shi Yifeng taking first place. After the event, Captain Shi said: “Our team’s ultimate victory was due not only to our united effort but also to my thorough preparation—selecting the right members for each event proved crucial as well.”

At the conclusion of the sports meet, the company prepared a wide array of prizes. The engaging activities not only enriched employees’ leisure time and improved their physical health but also fostered camaraderie, strengthened team cohesion, and fully energized all staff, inspiring them to approach their 2018 work with renewed enthusiasm and vigor.
