To unite team strength and inspire enthusiasm for work, On November 14, the company held its 2025 tug-of-war competition under the theme “With Unyielding Strength, We Unite for Mutual Success.” Nine teams, comprising 99 athletes from various departments across the company, gathered at the competition venue, joining forces through the rope and forging friendships through the contest.

Before the competition, each team meticulously organized and actively prepared, making careful arrangements from player selection to tactical planning. The competition venue was filled with a lively atmosphere, and cheers rose one after another, fully showcasing Jinzhou Jixin’s corporate spirit of unity, determination, and youthful vigor.

With a crisp whistle, the competition officially kicked off. The participating team members gripped the long rope tightly, lowered their center of gravity, and leaned back with all their might. Their flushed cheeks were etched with determination, and the synchronized shouts embodied their shared belief in unity and teamwork. The plumb bob at the midpoint of the rope alternately moved steadily forward or remained stubbornly still; each tug-of-war was a test of both willpower and collaboration. The athletes advanced by retreating, taking one step backward to gain momentum for the next. “Winning” perfectly embodies the spirit of teamwork. On the sidelines, a spontaneously formed cheerleading squad made up of watching employees was brimming with enthusiasm; cheers, shouts, and exclamations echoed continuously, driving the atmosphere to new heights time and again.

The first match between “Jixin High-Temperature Team One” and “Chromium Metal Team” was exceptionally exciting. Both teams stood firm, gripping the rope tightly and leaning backward to form a solid human wall. The subsequent semifinal showcased a battle of strategy and strength. The “veterans” from the defending champions, “Jixin High-Temperature Team One,” demonstrated their wealth of实战 experience. Employing a “wave-like” power technique, they seized on gaps in their opponents’ rhythm changes and launched sudden bursts of force, securing victory in one fell swoop and successfully defending their title. In the end, after a fiercely contested showdown, the Inspection Team took second place; meanwhile, “United Team Two,” blessed with extraordinary luck, drew a bye in two consecutive rounds, becoming the champion of this tournament. The “Lucky Dark Horse” team took third place; the Chromium Chemicals Team No. 2 received an Excellence Award. During this competition, a special lucky draw was held for the teams that made it into the semifinals. Zhang Zhixiang, Deputy General Manager of the company, drew three winners: Luo Di from the Chromium Metal Team, Liu Shuai from United Team No. 1, and Li Qiang from the Production Joint Team.

This competition was not only a test of strength but also a showcase of wisdom and collaboration. The team members divided tasks scientifically and worked together seamlessly, demonstrating a powerful spirit of unity and solidarity. The event effectively relieved employees’ work-related stress, enriched their cultural lives, strengthened team cohesion, and fostered cross-departmental communication. Everyone expressed that in their future work, they would continue to carry forward the spirit of unity displayed during the competition—thinking and striving toward the same goal—with even greater enthusiasm and dedication, thus contributing to the company’s high-quality development.

Together in the same boat, we hoist our sails and set forth—riding the wind and braving the waves for a journey of ten thousand miles. The company will continue to advance its cultural development, uniting people through shared beliefs and boosting morale with relentless effort, thereby injecting inexhaustible momentum into the enterprise’s growth.
