In the crisp morning air of early spring, the Aodu Company headquarters came alive with vibrant energy as our extended family of employees, partners, and friends gathered to mark our return to work following the Lunar New Year festivities. This momentous occasion wasn’t merely a return to routine—it was a celebration of unity, ambition, and the boundless possibilities that lie ahead in the Year .
A Heritage of Tradition Meets Modern Enterprise
The day began as the first rays of sunlight painted our office building in hues of gold. Following centuries-old customs that bridge the past and present, our celebration wove together traditional rituals with contemporary corporate culture, creating an unforgettable tapestry of experiences.
Welcoming Prosperity: The God of Wealth Ceremony
In a ceremony steeped in cultural significance, our leadership team led the traditional welcome of the God of Wealth (财神爷). Incense spiraled skyward as employees gathered in the beautifully decorated main hall, their faces glowing with anticipation. The ritual, performed with both reverence and joy, symbolized our collective aspiration for sustainable growth and success in the coming year.
Senior management shared their vision for 2024, emphasizing how each team member’s contribution would be vital in achieving our ambitious goals. The ceremony concluded with the unveiling of our annual targets, met with enthusiastic applause and determined nods from the assembled team.
Honoring Our Roots: Earth and Heaven Ceremony
In a quiet moment of reflection, our company paid homage to the fundamental forces that sustain us all. The Earth and Heaven ceremony (敬天地) served as a powerful reminder of our corporate responsibility toward environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. Department heads presented their green initiatives for the year, demonstrating Aodu’s commitment to balancing prosperity with planetary well-being.
Dynamic Celebrations: The Lion Dance Spectacular
The atmosphere transformed as the thunderous beat of drums announced the arrival of professional lion dance performers. Two magnificent lions, their costumes shimmering with intricate details, weaved through our office spaces, “consuming” lettuce and red envelopes placed strategically to attract good fortune. The performers’ exceptional skill turned the traditional dance into an acrobatic display that left spectators breathless.
This year’s performance featured an innovative twist—the lions incorporated our company’s product lines into their routine, creating a unique blend of tradition and corporate identity that delighted all present.
