Memory is a truly wondrous thing—everything we’ve said, every action we’ve taken, every path we’ve walked, and every person we’ve met—all of these become the little fragments that make up our memories down the road.

Looking back, the once-cold original site was covered with crops, and narrow paths in the fields made it hard for vehicles to pass. But today, the company boasts a vibrant new look—three spacious storage yards—and bustling, wide roads now efficiently handle loading and transportation.

Time flies like an arrow; days and months pass swiftly, much like a shuttle weaving through the air. As our company marks its 10th anniversary since production began, it feels as though just yesterday—on June 28, 2013—that I reported to the Production Department at our company, coming directly from Shanghai CIMC Refrigerated Container. Back then, I moved into Elite Apartment, enjoyed complimentary meals in the temporary canteen, and relied on the company-provided bus service for my daily commute. At that time, the company had just over 60 employees, and those early days remain vividly etched in my memory, as clear and fresh as if they happened only yesterday. Initially, the Production Department’s line manager assigned me to oversee the logistical support for equipment installation, with my main responsibilities focusing on managing the gas pipeline system used in welding operations, as well as handling natural gas-related tasks. My role was crucial in ensuring everything ran smoothly ahead of the official production launch. Later, due to evolving work needs, I was transferred to the Materials Department in mid-August of the same year, where I played a key part in setting up the department from scratch. Today, I’m proud to be one of the company’s long-standing employees in the Materials Division, faithfully contributing to our team for the past decade.

For ten years of diligent and dedicated work, I’ve faced countless challenges without a single complaint.

Love your job and dedicate yourself to practical work; follow rules and regulations, setting a shining example.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. In August 2013, under the leadership of our department head from the Materials Department, we embarked on a month-long journey filled with countless challenges and sleepless nights. From recruiting workers, conducting interviews and making hiring decisions, to assigning roles and responsibilities, as well as providing comprehensive training before they officially started their posts—plus refining departmental policies and establishing standardized operating procedures—we all pitched in. At that time, I, who was serving as both the deputy section chief and forklift team leader, wasn’t solely focused on management tasks due to limited staff. So, without hesitation, I took on an additional role as a warehouse clerk, immersing myself directly in hands-on management. By leading by example rather than just giving instructions, I passed down my practical experience and shared effective work strategies with newcomers, encouraging everyone to learn together and grow collectively. Thanks to the guidance of our department head, the team members in the Materials Department quickly saw significant improvements in their professional skills. The workplace atmosphere became harmonious, joyful, and energized, boosting everyone’s confidence manifold. Indeed, as the saying goes, 'A strong general commands no weak soldiers,' and 'A strict teacher produces outstanding disciples.'"

In February 2015, the Material Department took its management practices to a new level by establishing a comprehensive management system and cultivating several versatile warehouse managers. At that time, 80 percent of the warehouse staff were trained to become qualified forklift operators—each demonstrating exceptional skills, strong work ethic, and a proactive attitude. Leveraging our robust capabilities, the company, under the careful planning of the department head and with my active involvement, successfully integrated the production department’s forklift operators into our team in August of the same year. With this integration came greater responsibility, as ensuring the smooth execution of future operations became my top priority. To meet these challenges, I devoted considerable effort to refining logistics strategies and developing rigorous safety protocols for forklift operations. This included drafting critical documents such as the "Forklift Safety Operation Guidelines," "Forklift Team Performance Evaluation Criteria," "Standard Operating Procedures for Forklift Unloading," and "Safety Measures to Prevent Operational Errors." At the time, the factory operated on a two-shift system, producing 200 containers daily. Without meticulous planning, achieving seamless production would have been impossible. Throughout this period, I remained deeply involved in every aspect of management, leaving my mark at each step. My focus was always on continuous improvement rather than perfection. As a result of this strategic integration, we significantly boosted operational efficiency, dramatically reduced waiting times, and ultimately enhanced the value we delivered to the company.

In March 2017, I was responsible for managing non-containerized materials. Under the department head’s high standards and rigorous expectations, I transformed from someone who only had a partial understanding of these materials into a qualified supervisor of the spare parts team after three months of dedicated learning. As the most grassroots-level manager, the team leader not only needed to possess strong professional skills (knowledge) but also master the art of effective management. My managerial responsibilities encompassed areas such as cost control, customer needs management, financial accounting, as well as the efficient handling—receiving, issuing, and storing—of all items, along with ensuring proper management of their expiration dates.

As a warehouse manager, one must possess unique managerial skills to remain unbeatable in the industry—and I’ve achieved just that. I’ve implemented my own innovative coordinate-based system for locating items, ensuring that finding each item takes no more than 1 minute. This approach has dramatically boosted工作效率, significantly缩短ing the waiting time for users retrieving goods. Additionally, I emphasize visual management, enabling visitors and inspectors to instantly grasp the precise placement of every item at a glance. As a result, error rates have plummeted, while our 3S management image has been greatly enhanced. In November 2019, I was entrusted with the task of traveling to CIMC Ningbo to acquire specialized knowledge about the SAP accounting system. Thanks to my dedication, I successfully completed the leadership’s assignment—overseeing the seamless rollout of the SAP system. Time flies, and as I reflect on these moments now, I’m filled with profound gratitude and mixed emotions.

Give your heart and soul to your duties every day, enduring hardship and complaints year after year.

Lean management focuses on performance, while ensuring accuracy between accounts and physical assets prioritizes safety.

For more than a decade, CIMC's corporate spirit of "Striving for Self-Improvement and Pursuing Excellence" has continuously inspired me to stay positive, remain disciplined, and, through my actions, subtly influence and motivate young people to grow. With an ordinary mindset yet striving to achieve extraordinary things, as a member of the CIMC family, I… Pride— I'm proud!
