On October 31, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on a special trip from Beijing to Shanghai and Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province. There, they paid homage at the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and aboard the Red Boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, revisiting the history of the Party’s founding, reaffirming their oath of admission, and delivering an important speech. Facing the Party flag, the new leadership team solemnly took their oath, their sincere emotions and unwavering convictions deeply moving, inspiring, and motivating every Party member, thereby greatly strengthening their resolve to keep their入党誓词 firmly in mind and dedicate their lives to the Party. In order to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the CPC, further unify thinking, rally strength, and remain committed to following the Party, on November 5, Comrade Luo Yinchang, Party Branch Secretary of Shandong Yuegong Steel Structure Co., Ltd., led all Party members on a visit to Xibai Po, a sacred revolutionary site. With immense excitement and reverence, they studied the Party’s history, renewed their vows of admission, and participated in a highly meaningful organizational activity. Although what we saw there was merely a few simple mud-brick houses, with furnishings so rudimentary they seemed almost “primitive,” and a life marked by simplicity and frugality, it was precisely in this remote rural area that Chinese Communists accomplished earth-shattering feats. Chairman Mao and the CPC Central Committee once led here the nationwide land reform movement, further solidifying the Party’s mass base; they also directed the three major campaigns—Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin—which shocked both China and the world, annihilating or reorganizing over 1.54 million Kuomintang troops; moreover, they convened the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee, a meeting of historic significance, during which Chairman Mao issued his famous admonition to the entire Party: “We must ensure that our comrades continue to maintain a style of humility, prudence, modesty, and steadiness; we must also ensure that they continue to uphold the spirit of hard work and perseverance.” Through this organized activity, we gained a deeper understanding of the Party’s arduous journey, learned from the noble spirit of our revolutionary predecessors, and drew strength to forge ahead from the Party’s glorious history. We came to realize that memorizing the Party membership oath is not difficult; what truly matters is upholding it throughout one’s life, regularly comparing ourselves against it, and remaining steadfast and unwavering until the end. We recognized that only by staying true to our original aspiration can we honor history and our forebears, win the hearts of the people and seize the opportunities of our times, achieve success through diligent effort, and press forward without hesitation, always preserving the original aspirations of Communists. Furthermore, we deeply understood the goals and tasks set forth by the 19th National Congress for the entire Party: to bear in mind our fundamental purpose, strengthen our ideals and convictions, maintain fine conduct, and earnestly shoulder the missions and responsibilities entrusted to us by the Party and the people in the new era.

The Group convened the preparatory meeting for the 2017 “Yuegong Cup.”
Recently, the Shaoxing Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, the Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and the Municipal State-owned Industrial and Commercial Investment Company jointly issued the “Notice on Hosting the 2017 Shaoxing ‘Yuegong Cup’ Welding Skills Competition,” announcing that the competition will be held at Yuegong Group on September 26–27. This marks the third time Yuegong Group has hosted a first-class municipal-level competition. To earnestly implement the spirit of the three departments’ notice and ensure the smooth running of the event, the group convened a pre-competition preparatory meeting on the afternoon of August 23. The meeting was chaired by Ren Qiliang, Deputy Director of the Competition Organizing Committee and President of the Group, with over ten representatives from various group departments, as well as from Zhejiang Company and Machinery Company, in attendance. At the meeting, Ma Li, head of the logistics team and Director of the Group Office, first conveyed the guiding principles outlined in the documents issued by the three municipal departments and provided an overview of the preliminary preparations for this year’s “Yuegong Cup” welding competition, including application procedures, document approvals, and the formulation of the technical plan. Following this, President Ren set forth specific requirements for successfully hosting the event: First, as an outstanding host of the previous two municipal-level skills competitions, Yuegong must continue to uphold a work ethic characterized by impartiality, fairness, and transparency, ensuring the competition is conducted in an orderly, smooth, and successful manner. Second, as a steel structure enterprise primarily engaged in welding and a key participating entity within the industrial and commercial system, Yuegong should focus on enhancing welders’ technical proficiency, selecting top talent internally to compete, and striving for competitive rankings. Third, all staff members directly involved in organizing the competition are expected to perform their duties diligently while ensuring meticulous planning and detailed execution, approaching each task with care, cooperation, and initiative to fulfill the organizing committee’s assignments. Drawing on experience from past editions of the “Yuegong Cup,” President Ren also emphasized five critical areas requiring close attention: First, venue layout, atmosphere creation, signage, and promotional materials should be planned even more thoughtfully and elegantly than last year. Second, maintaining the competition’s fairness is paramount; last year’s use of notarization at the competition site proved innovative and received positive feedback, so this year too, notaries should be retained throughout the event to ensure results are widely accepted. Third, robust logistical support must be ensured. Fourth, the broader impact of the welding skills competition should be amplified—by leveraging the opportunity to organize the event, conduct educational campaigns, and raise awareness, employees can better appreciate society’s call for craftsmanship and the respect and recognition accorded to the welding profession, thereby further motivating them to pursue skill development and shifting their mindset from “being required to improve” to “proactively seeking improvement,” thus boosting welders’ confidence and pride. Finally, reward measures must be fully implemented: in addition to the prizes awarded by the organizing committee, the company will provide supplementary bonuses to welders who achieve notable rankings in the competition. In closing, Li Xin’er, Deputy Chairperson of the Group Trade Union and member of the Competition Organizing Committee’s preparatory team, assigned personnel to different working groups, clearly defining each group’s responsibilities and requirements, and laid out specific tasks along with their respective deadlines. With the convening of this preparatory meeting, the 2017 “Yuegong Cup” Welding Skills Competition has officially been placed on the group’s agenda. Plans have been finalized, objectives are clear, and it is hoped that all levels of the group will show keen interest and provide strong support, acting as gracious hosts, showcasing a fresh image, and contributing wholeheartedly to the successful completion of this undertaking.
On August 20, the final 49.5-meter-long truss was carefully lifted into position, marking the successful completion of the steel structure project for the Jinan East High-Speed Train Depot, undertaken by Yuegong Steel Structure Shandong Company. Jinan East Station is located at the Jiqing High-Speed Rail hub in the eastern suburbs of Jinan. It is Shandong Province’s largest three-dimensional, on-site integrated passenger transport hub, with a construction scale twice that of the current Jinan West Station. The building covers an area of 23,600 square meters, featuring two floors above ground and two underground levels, and its total construction cost reached RMB 20.72 million. The main structural system comprises concrete columns and large steel‑section trusses, while the roof panels are lightweight precast slabs with steel edge frames and thermal insulation. The project was contracted to China Railway Tenth Bureau as the general contractor, with our company subcontracted for the steel structure works. Construction commenced on June 24, 2017, under tight deadlines and stringent quality requirements. Among the most challenging components were 83 trusses, each measuring 49.5 meters in length and 5.0 meters in height; these massive elements posed significant logistical challenges during fabrication and transportation. To address issues such as complex fabrication, extensive welding, tight schedules, and difficult logistics, Shandong Company convened two specialized meetings, bringing together representatives from the Technical Department, Manufacturing Department, Engineering Department, and Quality Control Department to discuss solutions. Following a thorough analysis of the design drawings, it was decided to adopt a segmented fabrication and transportation approach: each truss would be divided into three sections during detailed design, then assembled and lifted into place once delivered to the site. This method facilitated both workshop fabrication and efficient loading and transport. Additionally, the company assigned extra technical personnel to provide on-site technical briefings and process guidance to welders, ensuring high-quality field welding. Furthermore, the project team installed two lifelines and safety nets on both the upper and lower sides of each truss to guarantee absolute safety. Construction coincided with the summer heat, requiring workers to endure extreme temperatures and work tirelessly to meet the schedule. To minimize exposure to high-temperature conditions, the project team deployed five large cranes and more than 80 workers simultaneously during the steel component lifting phase, enabling seamless execution of assembly, welding, hoisting, and roofing operations. Ultimately, after 57 days of dedicated effort, the steel structure project for the Jinan East High-Speed Train Depot was completed ahead of schedule and to full satisfaction, earning high praise from both the general contractor and the client.
