A Different Kind of “New Year’s Flavor”: On the First Day of the Lunar New Year, They Remain on Duty

As countless families revel in the joy of reunion around the New Year’s Eve dinner, and as the chimes of the New Year echo across the land, another kind of “festive atmosphere” is quietly rising within the company’s factory grounds. 2026 On the first day of the Lunar New Year, this place is devoid of the boisterous crackle of firecrackers, yet it is filled with the ceaseless roar of machinery; there’s no leisurely pace as people visit relatives and friends, but rather a focused, hurried stride. A group of admirable Xinya employees, with their steadfast dedication to their posts, have embodied what responsibility truly means and penned the most beautiful “blessing of professional devotion.”

Perseverance is the scheduled departure from the shipyard.

At dawn, while the faint mist had yet to dissipate, the massive dry dock was already in full operation. The shrill blasts of tugboat horns pierced the serene surface of the sea, as one after another of these colossal ocean liners slowly glided into their designated berths under precise control. For every worker on duty in the yard, holidays are no different from ordinary days—when ships enter or leave the dock, that narrow window of opportunity is a command; engineering safety, efficiency, and quality are nothing less than a matter of life and death. They keep a close watch on every single step, ensuring that this towering “maritime fortress” rests securely on its cradle. In their eyes, guaranteeing that each vessel undergoes repairs on time and to the highest standard, so that it can once again set sail on voyages spanning thousands of miles, is the most meaningful ritual of this festive season.

Perseverance is the focused brilliance beneath the sparks of welding.

Inside the workshop, arcs of light flicker and gleam far more brilliantly than fireworks. The automated welding machines move smoothly along their predetermined paths, while workers maneuver each weld—crucial to the vessel’s very life—amidst shifting shadows and radiant beams. Sparks fly, reflecting in their eyes, which are shielded by protective masks yet remain utterly focused. Outside the workshop, the sea breeze bites sharply; homesickness may well creep in unnoticed, but the precision of their work has never wavered in the slightest. For they know full well that every ounce of dedication to the smallest detail carries the promise of safe voyages ahead—and sustains the heavy trust placed in them by shipowners.

Perseverance is the silent guardianship behind the screen.

The on-duty staff in each department are busily coordinating engineering resources across regions, ensuring the smooth and orderly handover of the massive project system during the holiday season. Their unwavering dedication ensures that shipowners can feel Xinya’s commitment to “three high” services—professionalism, reliability, and round-the-clock support—at any time. The “festive atmosphere” here is the rhythmic clatter of keyboard keys, the steady flow of data, and the expert responses that bridge mountains and seas.

Perseverance is the warm support found in the corners.

“Red‑Clad Guardians” shuttle through the steel jungle, meticulously scrutinizing every detail that could potentially harbor hidden risks, ensuring the company safely navigates the Spring Festival and providing robust support along the way; in the employee cafeteria, the kitchen fires are lit early, all to ensure that those working on the front lines can enjoy hot, delicious meals on time; security personnel stand guard day and night, safeguarding the safety and order of the plant premises; and the service staff at the Business Experience Center thoughtfully curate traditional Chinese attire and exhibit layouts, allowing shipowners to fully immerse themselves in China’s rich cultural heritage while enjoying a “vacation‑style ship repair” experience… These seemingly ordinary positions collectively weave a solid network of support, enabling those who strive ahead to focus on their work without any worries about what lies behind. “There’s a kind of holiday called ‘Spring Festival—Open All Year!’ And there’s a kind of responsibility called ‘I’m on duty on the First Day of the Lunar New Year!’” This is not just a slogan—it’s a creed that the people of Xinya put into practice with their actions. They may miss out on family reunions, but in doing so, they fulfill their mission to “give shipowners greater peace of mind.” Their unwavering commitment is the most straightforward embodiment of the principle: “Be responsible for every minute on duty—every second counts.”

Ordinary lives become extraordinary through steadfast dedication, and acts of service are all the more precious because of unwavering commitment. A heartfelt salute to every Xinya warrior who stays at their post during the Spring Festival! It is precisely these resolute figures that come together to form the mighty force propelling the company forward through turbulent waters. This steadfast commitment is the most heartfelt gift we can offer to the New Year; this relentless pursuit of progress is the loudest response we can give to the times!
