On January 21, 2017 (the 24th day of the 12th lunar month), all our colleagues from Nantong Kaiyuan International Trading Co., Ltd. and Nantong Dongyang Fashion Co., Ltd. gathered joyfully at the factory to share our heartfelt thoughts! Looking back on 2016, we were filled with pride and determination; as we step into 2017, we carry a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. The past year of 2016 was one that seamlessly connected our legacy with a bright new chapter ahead. Though success came hand in hand with hard work, and rewards were earned through relentless effort, we’ve welcomed 2017—a fresh, promising year brimming with hope and endless possibilities.

　　Neat and uniform attire, coupled with melodious singing, marked the opening of the annual meeting to the resounding notes of the company anthem, "China's Orient."

　　Immediately afterward, General Manager Chen delivered a New Year’s message to everyone, summarizing on behalf of the company both the challenges and achievements of 2016. Yet, he also shared with the team the hopes and aspirations for the company and its factories in 2017. Looking back on the journey filled with trials and triumphs, he expressed gratitude for the hard work and dedication of every employee and their families—and extended heartfelt thanks to all our valued partners for their unwavering support. With this collective strength, we’re confident about the future ahead.

　　Although the economy has entered a "new normal," and the overall foreign trade environment remains challenging, under the leadership of General Chen, our company’s dedicated team has successfully overcome numerous obstacles, maintaining steady growth. This achievement is especially valuable as most competitors in the industry are already experiencing a downturn. Today’s stability will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for our company’s long-term development ahead. Let us all continue to cultivate a grateful heart and remain committed to working hard with determination. After all, if each of us can achieve our own small goals, we’ll collectively accomplish the larger objectives set by the company.

　　The dance "The Coolest Ethnic Style," performed by the Dongyang Fashion Inspection Center, showcased everyone's extraordinary fighting spirit in their daily work, while also highlighting the youthful charm of the inspection center team.

　　In our work, we’ve shed both sweat and tears. Though disagreements and debates may arise along the way, we stand together under the same roof—working side by side as one cohesive team. Driven by our shared goal, we bravely push forward, overcoming every obstacle and resistance that stands in our path! This is exactly the sweet future we all eagerly anticipate. The classic old song "Tian Mi Mi," brought to you by Wang Xiaoling and Yang Jiangping, perfectly captures the heartfelt excitement and hopeful anticipation for the company’s thriving business and fulfilling work.

　　When faced with challenges, employees from our company, Kaiyuan, and Dongyang Fashion came together in unity and mutual support, accomplishing many seemingly impossible tasks. For instance, during our busiest month—August—we were under unprecedented pressure to meet tight delivery deadlines for orders from our key clients. At a single command from General Manager Chen, everyone not only continued to excel in their own roles but also eagerly rushed to the factory, rolling up their sleeves and working tirelessly in the workshops to ensure that products were completed on time, maintained high quality, and properly packed into containers. Meanwhile, the "Cha-Cha Dance" performed by Wen Yun’s family at Kaiyuan International—a piece that exudes fashion and romance—perfectly showcased the seamless, heartfelt coordination between the company and its factories, reflecting the remarkable teamwork across the board.

　　You take your bow, and now it’s my turn— the real show is yet to come! Employees from the front lines of Oriental fashion manufacturing brought their lively dance performance of "Little Apple."

　　After two stunning dances in a row, Zhu Aihua from the Oriental Fashion Technology Department performed the popular song "How Lonely It Feels Without You by My Side."

　　In October 2016, Comrade Cai Jianqing, our veteran driver at Dongyang Fashion, was involved in a car accident while on a business trip. His vehicle suffered severe damage, and he sustained serious injuries. After company leaders issued appeals for donations—first from Dongyang and then from Kaiyuan—to support Comrade Cai, everyone responded enthusiastically, generously offering their heartfelt support. The entire scene deeply moved everyone to tears—literally, "mushrooms" (a playful, heartwarming reference). Meanwhile, the Finance Department of Kaiyuan Company, known as the "Financial Goddesses Group," performed the touching and uplifting song "Love Each Other," delivering warm, heartfelt blessings filled with care and affection.

　　We listened to the song and watched the dance—once again, the staff from the Oriental Fashion Tailoring Workshop delivered a self-written and performed quick-paced rhythmic performance (celebrating the New Year), bringing the atmosphere to another delightful little climax.

　　The uniquely styled fast-paced performance gave us a refreshing and exciting experience. We sincerely hope our work continues to thrive, our days become even brighter, and the dance "The More You Dance, the More Beautiful You Become" from the Oriental Fashion Technology Department fills us with youthfulness and energy.

　　The dance grew more graceful with each step, and the歌声 became increasingly vibrant. At this very moment, the beautiful moon above quietly watched our performance from afar. Open Source Company’s Wen Yun family member, Ge Yangfeng, delivered a soulful solo rendition of "Crescent Moon," weaving together heartfelt prayers and blessings: "Amidst the ethereal beauty of moonlight, my beloved seems lost to me; though separated by thousands of miles, we share the same radiant moon." And then, echoing the timeless sentiment, "As the bright moon rises over the sea, may we all unite under its glow, no matter how far apart—this is the hope and yearning that fills our hearts."

　　After admiring the radiant moon, let’s turn our eyes to the breathtaking scenery of the northern lands. Joining us tonight is the handsome duo—Yang Yuchen and Li Shiyi—who will present the evening’s most captivating literary performance: a poetic recitation of "Qinyuanchun·Snow." Today, China stands proudly, "dressed in red and adorned with pristine white," radiating an extraordinary charm as it warmly welcomes guests from across the globe. Indeed, our nation today embodies the spirit of "such magnificent landscapes that countless heroes have bowed in awe," inspiring generations of Chinese sons and daughters to strive tirelessly toward the rejuvenation of the motherland and the realization of the Chinese Dream of national strength. History will continue to bear witness: "When it comes to great figures who define their era, look no further than the present day!" We are thrilled to witness a new generation rising steadily—a generation poised to shape the bright future of our beloved country.

　　The poetry recitation just now allowed us to fully appreciate the breathtakingly beautiful and moving winter snowscape. Meanwhile, the dance performance "Bride on the Water," from the Oriental Fashion Tailoring Workshop, will transport us back to the picturesque water towns of Jiangnan. And let’s not forget the game "Tang Bohu Points Qiu Xiang," which brought our annual gathering to a thrilling climax. It seems even our department’s business manager couldn’t escape the timeless adage that even heroes can’t resist the charm of a beautiful woman—though knowing full well he’d chosen the wrong Qiu Xiang, he still willingly took on the self-imposed penalty of endlessly circling the stage while carrying the "beauty" on his back.

　　The annual meeting featured "Super Firefighter" and other games.

　　Jiangsu Satellite TV's talent guests presented a sultry dance performance titled "Indian Dance," along with a classic and graceful solo performance on the pipa.

　　To express gratitude for employees' hard work throughout the year, we are recognizing our top-performing staff. This gesture aims to let all employees feel the company's care, further strengthening the organization's cohesion and sense of unity! Under the guidance of General Manager Chen and Chairman Yang, we held our most exciting lottery event yet—where the fun never stops, and good luck is waiting just for you!

　　Company leaders presented awards and recognized outstanding employees and software piece-rate operation experts.

　　Mr. Yang and Mr. Chen presented awards to the lucky employees who won first and second prizes.

　　The annual gathering featured beautiful, heartwarming songs, graceful yet trendy dances, hilarious and innovative games, and an exciting raffle filled with anticipation—leaving everyone thrilled as the event concluded smoothly, seamlessly, and perfectly. As 2016 gradually faded away amid growth and valuable takeaways, 2017 arrived full of excitement and boundless energy. Looking back on the past, we were filled with passion and determination; looking ahead, we stand united as one. As long as each of us holds dreams, pursues our goals, and remains passionate, our company will surely shine even brighter in the years to come.

　　Let's roll up our sleeves and work hard together in 2017!
