On April 1st, the third "Iron Army" Corporate Culture Festival of 15MCC was grandly inaugurated at the auditorium of its Wuhan headquarters. Centered on the theme "Carrying Forward History, Forging a Soul through Culture," this year's festival aims to showcase the spirit of the Iron Army and rally momentum for progress through a wide range of cultural activities involving all employees, thereby continuously infusing cultural vitality into the company’s high-quality development. A total of 190 participants—including members of the company’s leadership team, senior executives, and representatives from headquarters departments, affiliated units, and grassroots project teams—attended the event to witness this significant cultural celebration.
As the audience settled into their seats, a carefully produced corporate culture festival promotional video played, showcasing highlights from previous festivals and evoking warm memories. "The spirit of the Iron Army lives on through generations; culture unites us toward new horizons!" With an energetic opening by two hosts, the audience was drawn back to the present moment, and the atmosphere instantly ignited. This was followed by the performance titled "Passing the Torch, Upholding Our Original Aspiration," featuring over 40 young employees from various departments across the company. Through passionate dance and powerful yet graceful singing, they expressed the deep patriotism and dedication of the 15MCC, symbolizing the enduring legacy of the Iron Army spirit—73 years strong, still vibrant with youth.
The spirit of the Iron Army has never been a lofty symbol, but rather a down-to-earth commitment rooted in daily work. At the opening ceremony, an innovative performance showcased the remarkable achievements of five outstanding individuals—labor models, exemplary Party members, top project managers, and young stars—from different fronts and positions. Through skits and other dramatic formats, their stories came vividly to life. The audience experienced firsthand the dedication of these role models who forged "legends in the Gobi Desert" in uncharted territories, led teams to breakthroughs in regional markets, demonstrated the true character of Party members by charging ahead on production and operations, delivered high-quality projects with unwavering craftsmanship, and overcame challenges with youthful passion to achieve remarkable results. One after another, these vivid stories and heartfelt narratives brought home the message that the spirit of the Iron Army is all around us—embodied in every step forward, in every effort to rise above adversity.
On behalf of the company's Party Committee, Yu Wenqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Trade Union, announced the highlights of this year's cultural festival. Running from April through mid-year, the festival covers grassroots project departments, affiliated units, and headquarters departments, engaging all employees in a vibrant array of events. These include a comprehensive staff sports meet, an "English Charm" talent showcase, a knowledge competition themed "Efficiency First, Management Leading," a skills contest titled "Craftsmanship Builds Dreams, Skills Win the Future," and a book-themed event "Books Build Dreams, Etiquette Opens New Journeys." Through active participation, every employee experiences and embraces the spirit of the iron army, uniting with strong synergy that resonates with the company's vision.
As the crowd chanted in unison with the countdown, the event reached its thrilling climax. Company leaders joined hands to push down the golden sand symbolizing hope and glory. Instantly, the sand poured forth and colorful balloons soared into the sky. The theme of the "15MCC's Third 'Iron Army' Corporate Culture Festival" shone brilliantly, marking the official opening of the cultural festival and heralding the Iron Army setting sail on a journey toward distant dreams.
During the event, to enhance engagement and interactivity, the opening ceremony featured three rounds of on-site lottery draws. As the lights on the sensor wristbands flickered repeatedly, cheers and applause erupted throughout the venue. Company executives presented awards to lucky guests, bringing warmth and delightful surprises that brought the atmosphere to a thrilling climax.
At the end of the event, everyone sang together "Glory of the Iron Army," and the opening ceremony concluded successfully to the stirring and uplifting melody.
