We are excited to share the artworks which were selected for the internal art contest in 2021.
The theme was a “spark” that twinkles in each of our team members’ hearts same as the last year.
Our sparks meet constantly changing situations, unexpected challenges, and new opportunities.
We called on our team members again to show how they see their spark in the world of today and the future.

Comment:
2020 Chinese New Year Festival Holiday I went back to my hometown Harbin the most North of China.
It was the first time go back to my hometown after graduation in 2001. Because of the Convid-19 that holiday was very long, I stayed with my parents at hometown for about one month.
When I was together with them I cannot be happier, even now I miss that Winter very much.
My parents went to a playground with me and my kid, we played the toy named “Ga”,
My favorite toy in my childhood, they played like a child, I can feel their happy having fun with their daughter and grandson. I wish my parents health and happiness. Today is the Lantern Festive, family should get together,
But my parents are far from me now, I sent this artwork to them as president, they are very happy, and I am happy, too.
