         On the morning of November 20, amid their busy schedules, the Group organized a meaningful weeding event. Initiated by the Group’s Trade Union and the Communist Youth League and coordinated by the Office, the activity drew participation from leaders including President Chen Bailiang, Executive Vice President Ruan Zhongsheng, and Chief Engineer Jin Fei. Employees from the Group’s Office, Finance Department, Design Institute, as well as the Marketing, Procurement, and Warehouse departments of the Steel Structure Company—totaling more than thirty participants—joined in. With daily routines often leaving little time for collective gatherings, this event provided an excellent opportunity to bring everyone together. Beyond offering a change of scenery and mood, it allowed employees to exercise while cultivating a sense of refinement, all while reinforcing awareness of public hygiene and the importance of keeping our environment clean and beautiful—a truly multifaceted and beneficial initiative. Although the weather had cleared after the rain, making the soil soft and pliable, what appeared to be a simple task proved far from easy. The landscaped areas were extensive, with lush vegetation and a profusion of wild weeds. For many employees born in the 1980s and 1990s, weeding was an unfamiliar activity, turning this session into a real test of endurance. Yet enthusiasm remained high, as participants exemplified the Yuegong spirit of resilience, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to hard work—unafraid of dirt, fatigue, or hardship. Despite the arrival of the “Beginning of Winter,” young staff members especially encouraged one another, competing cheerfully and working with boundless energy; sweat poured down their faces as they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the task. Throughout the event, laughter and lively conversation filled the air. Employees chatted about work and life as they worked, pausing under the trees to sip water and wipe away sweat before plunging back into the fray. In this vibrant, spirited atmosphere, cheerful laughter occasionally echoed. After a morning of dedicated effort, piles of weeds accumulated on the lawn, leaving the grounds smoother and tidier. Each participant emerged not only physically refreshed but also spiritually renewed, their bodies and minds cleansed by the labor. Sweat gave way to joy and ease, the company grew more beautiful, the workers became more radiant, and everything around them seemed to shine brighter.
