A subtle fragrance of zongzi leaves mingles with the deep sentiments of the Dragon Boat Festival. To carry forward China’s fine traditional culture, enrich employees’ spiritual and cultural lives, and foster a warm, harmonious festive atmosphere, on the morning of June 18, the Hydrochemical Company’s trade union thoughtfully organized a fun “Dragon Boat Festival: Sharing Love Through Zongzi, Enjoying Health and Well-being” zongzi‑making event in the company canteen, allowing everyone to celebrate this time-honored festival amid laughter and cheer.

The event venue was filled with warmth and the fragrant aroma of zongzi leaves. Fresh ingredients—vibrant green zongzi leaves, glistening glutinous rice, sweet red dates, plump candied beans, and savory marbled pork—had been carefully prepared and neatly arranged. Experienced colleagues stepped up as “folk‑custom instructors,” patiently demonstrating each step of the zongzi‑wrapping process, from folding the leaves to shaping the filling and tying the strings. Many employees, usually focused on their daily tasks, tried their hand at making zongzi for the first time, brimming with enthusiasm and eager to get started. Rolling the leaves, packing the rice, adding the fillings, and securing them with cotton thread—everyone worked together, laughing and chatting, as the atmosphere radiated a warm, harmonious holiday spirit.

After more than an hour of skillful handiwork, baskets brimming with thoughtfully wrapped zongzi were neatly arranged on the table. Afterwards, the canteen staff distributed the freshly cooked zongzi to employees, allowing everyone to savor the delicious flavors of the Dragon Boat Festival—crafted with their own hands—and take the warmth of the holiday home.

This Duanwu Festival zongzi‑making event not only allowed employees to experience the profound cultural heritage of traditional customs up close and enjoy the pleasure of hands‑on crafting, but also provided a platform for communication and collaboration. Moving forward, the company will remain true to its commitment to fostering a caring corporate spirit, organizing more diverse cultural and recreational activities rich in cultural significance. By cultivating a warm, heartfelt corporate culture, it will unite all employees, inspiring them to approach their subsequent work with renewed enthusiasm and high morale, thereby jointly driving the company’s steady, high‑quality development.
