English Version: Setting Sail in 2026: A Day of Red Envelopes, Cash Prizes, and Heartfelt Moments

The sound of firecrackers from the Spring Festival has just faded, replaced by the determined footsteps of a new beginning. On the 9th day of the first lunar month—a day traditionally considered the most auspicious for starting work—we gathered not only to kick off the Year of the Horse but also to hold a long-awaited annual party for the year 2025.

It was a unique day where the energy of 2026 met the legacy of 2025.

A Warm Welcome: The Lucky Red Envelopes
The day started with a familiar yet heartwarming tradition. As team members walked through the doors, they were greeted by our management team, each hand extending a bright red "Lai See" (Lucky Money envelope).

This isn't just about the money; it's a symbol of appreciation for the hard work of the past year and a wish for good luck and smooth sailing in the new one. The office, once quiet during the holiday, instantly buzzed with life, filled with smiles and cheerful wishes of "Gong Xi Fa Cai."

A Tribute to Resilience: The 2025 Annual Party
In the afternoon, we finally held our 2025 Annual Party. Although it arrived a few weeks later than usual, this "belated" celebration carried a deeper meaning.

Looking back at 2025 from the vantage point of 2026, we realized how challenging yet rewarding the journey was. As a recap video played, showing our late-night brainstorming sessions and the milestones we hit against all odds, a sense of pride filled the room.

Our CEO shared, "We insisted on having this party because every effort made in 2025 deserves to be remembered. We are not just celebrating the past; we are carrying that resilience into the swift currents of 2026."

Feasting Together: The Taste of Unity
What's a celebration without a feast?

We moved to the dining area for a lavish dinner. The clinking of glasses and the laughter that filled the air were the best stress-relievers. Colleagues shared stories about their New Year travels and hometown delicacies. It was a moment of pure bonding, reminding us that we are more than just coworkers—we are a team that fights and feasts together.

The Grand Finale: The Lucky Draw (With a Heartwarming Twist)
Just when we thought the day couldn't get any better, the Lucky Draw began.

The atmosphere went from warm to electric. This year's cash prizes were incredibly generous:

• Fifth Prize: 800 RMB
• Special Lucky Draw: 1,000 RMB
• Fourth Prize: 1,200 RMB
• Third Prize: 1,600 RMB
• Second Prize: 2,888 RMB

Every name drawn sparked waves of applause and good-natured envy. The climax came with the announcement of the Grand Prize of 3,888 RMB, sending the crowd into a frenzy as colleagues rushed to congratulate the lucky winner.

But the most touching moment was yet to come. In a beautiful gesture of inclusion, the company announced a "Sunshine for All" award of 600 RMB for every employee who hadn't won a prize. As the host declared, "Everyone matters, no one is left behind," thunderous applause filled the hall.

It wasn't just about winning money; it was about feeling seen, valued, and included. It was a reminder that in this company, being together is the real prize.
