“Work” nurtures body and mind; “community” gathers energy!

The “Rural Retreat in the Northern Frontier” health and recuperation program for workers, organized by the Autonomous Region Federation of Trade Unions in 2024, was like a refreshing spring in the scorching summer, deeply touching the hearts of every union member and greatly enhancing employees’ sense of well-being.

From July 12 to 13, 2024, the trade union of Ningxia Xindazhong Machinery Co., Ltd. organized a team of 50 people to visit the beautiful Liupan Mountain area, truly experiencing the well-deserved reputation of this summer resort—known as "Little Jiangnan."

Walking the 2.5-kilometer trail of the Long March—though a mere fraction of the entire journey—still allows us to gain profound insights into the invaluable spirit embodied by the Red Army. First and foremost is the spirit of unyielding perseverance. During the Long March, the Red Army faced extremely harsh natural conditions and relentless pursuit and encirclement by enemy forces. Yet, they remained steadfast in their convictions and pressed forward courageously. Even on this short 2.5-kilometer path, we encounter difficulties and challenges; persisting through them enables us to appreciate the Red Army’s determination to never fear hardship and never give up. Second is the spirit of unity and collaboration. The success of the Long March depended crucially on the close cooperation and mutual support among the Red Army soldiers. As we walk along this rain-soaked trail, we can truly feel the power of teamwork and realize that only by standing united can we overcome adversity together. Third is the ethos of hard work and frugality. The Long March was marked by extremely difficult conditions and severe shortages of supplies. Yet, driven by indomitable will and a simple, austere lifestyle, the Red Army traversed countless mountains and rivers. Even these 2.5 kilometers allow us to grasp the importance of hard work and to cherish the happiness we enjoy today. Finally, there are firm ideals and convictions. The Red Army embarked on the Long March driven by the noble aspiration of striving for the happiness of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation. During this brief journey, we can profoundly appreciate the powerful motivating force of ideals and convictions, inspiring everyone to persistently strive toward their own goals in life.
