A Grand Gathering Before the Spring Festival

On February 12, 2026, Sichuan Zhongxin General Electric Energy Co., Ltd brought together over 250 employees from our main company, manufacturing facilities, and subsidiary operations for our annual Chinese New Year celebration gala. This marked our most ambitious team gathering yet, transforming our switchgear assembly workshop into a festive venue complete with LED stage, performance area, and banquet seating.

The event ran from 1:45 PM through 8:30 PM, encompassing team performances, recognition awards, leadership messages, and a celebratory dinner. In a first for our company, we livestreamed the entire gala on Douyin (Chinese TikTok) using professional HD broadcasting equipment, sharing our celebration with remote team members and extending our reach to the broader community.

Spectacular Team Performances

Beyond formal recognition, our gala celebrated team spirit through energetic performances prepared by various departments. These performances showcased the creativity, dedication, and camaraderie that define our workplace culture.

Behind the Scenes: Rehearsal with Factory Backdrop

In the days leading up to the gala, teams rehearsed their performances wherever space allowed. One particularly memorable rehearsal session took place in an open area adjacent to our facility, with a row of box-type substations creating an authentic industrial backdrop – a setting only possible at a genuine manufacturing facility.

This rehearsal footage captures our team’s preparation against the backdrop of our actual products:

Sales Department Energetic Fitness Dance

The Major Clients Department delivered one of the evening’s highest-scoring performances with an energetic fitness dance routine. Their synchronized movements, dynamic choreography, and infectious enthusiasm energized the entire audience. This performance earned strong scores from our judging panel and enthusiastic applause from colleagues.

Experience the authentic atmosphere of this live performance, captured with original music and genuine audience reactions:

Leadership Entertainment: When Bosses Take the Stage

In one of the most memorable and heartwarming moments of the evening, our company shareholders and management team took the stage for a special entertainment performance. As the host humorously noted, “You’ve worked hard all year, and our leaders are always demanding high standards and providing constructive criticism. Today, they’re sacrificing their image to entertain you!”

Led by two female colleagues from our administrative department, a group of senior male executives – more accustomed to boardrooms than dance floors – gamely performed a coordinated dance routine. Their enthusiastic if not entirely graceful efforts drew roars of laughter and appreciation from the audience, perfectly embodying the spirit of leadership humility and team celebration.

Watch our leadership team step out of their comfort zones to bring joy to their colleagues:

Broadcasting Our Celebration: First Professional Livestream

This year marked a significant milestone in how we share our company culture and celebrations. For the first time, we employed professional-grade HD livestreaming equipment to broadcast our entire gala on Douyin, China’s leading short-video platform. The setup included professional cameras mounted on sturdy tripods, operated by our dedicated broadcast team.

More Than a Celebration: Building Our Future Together

Our 2026 Chinese New Year Gala represented far more than an annual tradition. By gathering 250+ team members in our actual production facility, recognizing outstanding contributions, sharing transparent business updates, and celebrating together with joy and laughter, we reinforced the values that drive our success: excellence in manufacturing, respect for our people, and commitment to building a workplace culture where everyone can thrive.

The willingness of our leadership team to take the stage and entertain employees, the authentic enthusiasm of team performances, and the professional livestreaming of our celebration all reflect an organization confident in its identity and proud of its people. As we enter the Spring Festival holiday and look ahead to 2026, we do so with gratitude for our team’s dedication and excitement for the opportunities ahead.
