On July 1, the Party Committee of the Group held a commendation conference celebrating the 104th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, along with a special Party class titled “Wanxiang Enterprise’s July 1st Party Class.” Party members and cadres gathered together to recognize outstanding individuals and study and grasp the spirit of the Party. Lu Weiding, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board, delivered a special Party class entitled “Strive for Excellence, Pursue Superiority, and Shine—Enhancing Our Own Capabilities.” The conference was chaired by Guan Dayuan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee.

With a spirit of integrity and forward momentum, Wanxiang shines like the light; by pooling our strengths and uniting as one, we build an unbreakable fortress. Wanxiang listens to the Party and follows its lead, holding high the Party’s banner and placing Party building at the forefront. We deeply carry forward the spirit of Lu Guanqiu, remaining confident and self-reliant, upholding principles while fostering innovation. As a result, we’ve achieved new successes in the construction of both material and spiritual civilizations, and have seen the emergence of a number of exemplary grassroots Party organizations that boast strong business performance and robust Party-building efforts, as well as outstanding Communist Party members and outstanding Party workers whose contributions have been remarkably effective. On the occasion of the 104th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, in order to set shining examples, encourage and recognize those who have made outstanding achievements in entrepreneurship and innovation, and fully mobilize the initiative and creativity of Party organizations at all levels and the broad membership, the Party Committee of the Group has decided to award the title of “Advanced Grassroots Party Organization” to four Party organizations: the Party Branch of the Organizational Resources Department of Wanxiang Group, the Party Branch of Shunfa Nengcheng, the Party Branch of the Constant Velocity Drive Shaft Factory, and the Party Branch of Wuhu Qianchao Intelligent Manufacturing. Additionally, we are conferring the title of “Outstanding Communist Party Member” on 50 comrades including Li Yunjuan and Niu Jie, and the title of “Outstanding Party Worker” on four comrades including Ding Guiping and Ma Hairong.

Lu Weiding presented awards to the outstanding representatives, and the venue erupted in enthusiastic applause!

The conference also held an oath-taking ceremony for new party members and a re-affirmation of the party oath by veteran members.

In his special Party class, Lu Weiding analyzed the current domestic and international economic development situation and pointed out that the Party and the state have been continuously optimizing the business environment—especially through the promulgation and implementation of the “Law on Promoting the Private Economy”—thus enshrining in law the role and status of the private economy. “The private economy boasts a bright future and tremendous potential; now is precisely the right time for private enterprises and entrepreneurs to shine.” The key, he emphasized, lies in enhancing and developing oneself. To this end, he proposed striving for excellence, pursuing superiority, and seeking distinction. Striving for excellence means taking the lead in piloting new initiatives and setting exemplary standards—this is the goal for driving development. We must excel in the energy revolution, technological innovation, and institutional breakthroughs, seizing the initiative in times of profound change. Pursuing superiority means optimizing and upgrading, delivering high-quality and efficient performance—this is the guarantee for achieving sustained development. We must excel in talent management, operational efficiency, and openness, forging solid core strengths amid market competition. Seeking distinction means showcasing our unique style and adding luster and brilliance—this is the driving force behind our development. We must excel in carrying forward our spiritual heritage, embarking on the “Three Innovations” journey, and promoting greater harmony and prosperity, writing a glorious chapter in our lives while keeping our country’s interests at heart.

Lu Weiding emphasized the need to be earnest and pragmatic, putting words into action and striving for excellence in every endeavor. Ultimately, this pursuit of excellence must come down to “three genuines”: corporate executives must genuinely devote their minds and efforts; Party members and cadres must genuinely set exemplary standards; and all employees must genuinely roll up their sleeves and get to work. Devoting one’s mind represents the boundary of moral strength and the breakthrough of sincere aspiration; setting exemplary standards means taking the lead as role models and providing outstanding guidance; and genuine labor translates into real output and value creation. To achieve great undertakings, there is only one sure path—creating real value through hard work and practical action. “Striving” is the clarion call, while “genuineness” is the ballast that keeps us steady. Let us raise our banners high and move forward with unwavering conviction, guiding our enterprise’s development with our ideals and beliefs; let us attract and empower talent, leveraging our organizational strengths to unite everyone in overcoming challenges; and let us seize the momentum, harnessing the favorable winds of “people-driven development” to propel us into a new journey of leapfrog growth!

Lu Weiding called on all Party members and cadres to take the lead by example and go all out, transforming Wanxiang into a world-class company that enjoys enduring prosperity and earns widespread respect. By leveraging Wanxiang’s technological innovations to support national strategies, by offering outstanding products and services that serve the global market, and by embracing a sense of responsibility and commitment that enhances social well-being—this is the vibrant fusion of the Wanxiang Dream and the Chinese Dream! This is precisely the meaningful cause worth dedicating our lives to, for each and every one of us at Wanxiang!

The conference calls upon Party organizations at all levels and the vast number of Communist Party members to earnestly implement the spirit of the special Party class delivered by the Party Secretary, transforming it into a driving force for getting things done and starting businesses. Taking advanced role models as inspiration, we must fully leverage the fighting fortress role of Party organizations and the exemplary, pioneering role of Party members. Guided by the mission of “Making the air cleaner,” we should deeply embody the Lu Guanqiu Spirit, press ahead with vigor and determination, courageously forge ahead, develop new-quality productive forces, and lead the upgrade toward intelligent manufacturing. Let “Ten years of struggle add another city” evolve continuously into “Ten years of struggle add another zero,” thus making Wanxiang’s contribution to advancing Chinese-style modernization!
