2024 “China Health Monthly” Issue No. 1

Meng Xiangwei led the city-wide inspection team to Chongyang to check on key tasks.

On the afternoon of January 15, Meng Xiangwei, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Yang Jun, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, led a team to Chongyang County to conduct on-site inspections and assessments of four key areas of work: the Strong County Initiative (Rural Revitalization), project construction, elderly care services based on public hospitals, and kitchen and food waste treatment.

In Chongyang, a delegation of over 70 members from the city’s inspection and assessment team conducted on-site inspections of the following projects in succession: the health and wellness project at Chongyang County People’s Hospital, the Taoxi Garden residential community in Tiancheng Town, the kitchen waste treatment facility at Chongyang No.1 Middle School, and the production line construction project for medical protective products by Hubei Zhongjian.

At the final stop, accompanied by Zheng Junhua, Secretary of the Chongyang County Party Committee, the inspection team visited Zhongjian Company. Secretary Meng enthusiastically toured our company’s automated sewing workshop for abdominal pads and the company’s campus construction. As they walked around, he briefly listened to a report from Chairman Wang Dingbang on the progress of the project. Afterwards, they proceeded to the lobby of the administrative building, where they heard brief updates from relevant officials of the Chongyang County Government on ongoing projects in Chongyang and the county’s future strategic plans. Secretary Meng offered high praise for their efforts.

Reach out in times of difficulty—the Women’s Federation’s care warms the heart.

In response to the call issued at the 16th Women’s Congress of Chongyang County—urging women’s federations at all levels to deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, further elevate their political awareness, and earnestly carry out the requirements of “strengthening three characteristics” and “eliminating four formalisms,” while advancing the development of women’s work with a spirit of reform and innovation—while also reaching out widely to serve the masses, genuinely helping women in need and resolving their difficulties; and while innovating service approaches to ensure that services truly resonate with the people, thus striving to build a “caring home” for women—the Chairwoman of the County Women’s Federation, Xia Chufeng, and Vice Chairwoman Li Lin, accompanied by abundant care and concern, visited Zhongjian Company on December 29, 2023, and extended warm greetings and heartfelt condolences to Ding Yanxia, a female worker in the hand-folding workshop, and Xia Huyu, a female worker in the machine-folding workshop.
Ding Yanxia, an employee in our company’s brochure-folding workshop, lives near the Han Opera Troupe in Chongyang County. In 2006, when her son was just six months old, her husband tragically passed away in a car accident, leaving her and her son to fend for themselves. The entire family’s livelihood depended solely on Ding Yanxia’s income, making their life extremely difficult. As her child gradually grew up, her son just started university this year, and the annual tuition fees represent a significant financial burden. Despite these hardships, she never once complained. Her home is six kilometers from the company, and since she doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle and wants to save money on transportation, she has been walking for an hour and a half every day—rain or shine—to arrive at work punctually ever since joining the company in 2010, a practice she has maintained for over a decade. In her daily work, she is always diligent and hardworking, never uttering a single complaint. She is kind and approachable, enjoying harmonious relationships with her colleagues. She feels deeply grateful toward Zhongjian Company. To earn more money and repay the company’s kindness, she often volunteers to work overtime. Her output is consistently the highest in the workshop, and her product quality is remarkably stable. Because of her outstanding performance, her story has earned high praise and recognition from both company leaders and colleagues, and she has been repeatedly honored by the company as a model worker and an advanced individual.

Xia Huyu, an employee in the blister-packaging area of the machine-folding workshop, lives in Group 2, Hamashi Village, Tianteng Town. Her family includes a 76-year-old grandmother who has been paralyzed for many years and requires constant care. To make matters worse, her husband—who had already been taking medication for a long time—unfortunately developed nasal cancer in 2018. Each round of chemotherapy brings with it enormous expenses. The family also has two children: one recently graduated from college but hasn’t yet found a job, and the other is still in the second year of high school. For years, the family has been barely getting by on her meager salary alone. Despite her tireless efforts at work, the heavy monthly financial burden leaves the family struggling to make ends meet, making it truly difficult to sustain their daily life.
After learning about their situation, County Women’s Federation Chairwoman Xia expressed great concern and visited Zhongjian the very next day. She located two employees on the production line, presented them with condolence money, and conveyed warm greetings on behalf of the county Party committee and county government. She encouraged the two female workers to face life’s challenges with strength, to cultivate gratitude, and to work even harder, using their high-quality contributions to repay the company and give back to society.

A tribute to the ordinary yet extraordinary frontline employees.

Every day, at the bustling production site, your eyes are focused and riveted on every piece of gauze and every inch of thread in your hands. You are the soul of the workshop—the most beautiful sight along the production line.
As the first rays of dawn begin to shine, you’re already in the workshop, your figures visible in every corner. The gauze in your hands dances gracefully under your nimble fingers—these are not only your tools but also your solemn responsibility. Accompanied by the rhythmic roar of machinery, you weave a hymn to labor with your sweat and relentless effort.
After lunch, you often forgo your rest and continue to fight tirelessly on the front lines—because I know that deep in your hearts, you always keep the production line at heart, along with your unwavering dedication and passion for your work. Who are they? They are the heroic women of our finished-product building. As night falls and the first lights begin to glow, while others have already clocked out and headed home, you remain steadfastly at your posts. Under those dim yellow lights, your figures seem even more towering and majestic. You are the guardians of the night, the watchmen of light. And who else are they? They are our security personnel and on-duty cadres.
You are all ordinary workers, yet you are also the greatest of all. With your own hands, you create miracles in this world, and with your sweat, you write the glory of labor.
Here, we pay tribute to you! May your efforts and dedication be seen by the world and remembered by people. May your contributions be duly rewarded, and may the fruits of your labor bring light to the lives of more and more people.
