The Double Ninth Festival has also been imbued with deep meanings of gratitude and respect for the elderly. In 1989, China officially designated the ninth day of the ninth lunar month as 'Senior Citizens' Day' or 'Respect for the Elderly Day.' This has given the ancient traditional festival a fresh, modern warmth.

"The most beautiful thing is like the sunset glow, warm and unhurried." Time may take away the youthful appearance, but it also accumulates wisdom and kindness. The elders at home are like a thick book of history, weathered by time. They hold our hands with their broad palms as we grow up and watch us leave with their gentle eyes.

On the Double Ninth Festival, no matter where you are, giving your parents a call and wishing them peace, or staying by their side, eating a piece of soft, glutinous Double Ninth cake, and listening to their stories of the past, is the simplest way to show filial devotion. Time may not be reversible, but companionship can make the river of years flow warmer.

Chongyang is a traditional festival to respect, honor, and care for the elderly. On this day filled with gratitude and warmth, we not only pay high respect to the hard work of our elders over the years but also thank every colleague who quietly contributes at their work. It's precisely because of everyone's joint dedication and effort that our company family feels so warm and full of strength.
