"Look, the secretary has come to accompany us for the New Year!" Every factory in Hengnan industrial concentration area is filled with jubilant atmosphere.
On New Year’s Eve today, Hu Guoxiong, secretary of Hengnan County Party Committee, is most concerned about those "Hengnan builders" who responded to the government’s call and chose to stay in Hengnan for the New Year. This New Year’s Eve, they will not eat alone, because the county party secretary will represent 1.13 million people in Hengnan to celebrate the New Year with them!
"Thank you for your contribution to the economic and social development of Hengnan, and thank you for your understanding and support for the policy of celebrating the New Year on the spot! I sincerely wish everyone good luck, happiness and well-being in the New Year. " At the group annual banquet, Hu Guoxiong’s words aroused warm applause from the workers on the scene.
The most anticipated and important thing in the bustling Spring Festival is the reunion dinner with my family on New Year’s Eve. However, this year, many people gave up the opportunity of reunion in their hometown and chose to celebrate the New Year on the spot in response to the government’s call.
"Wife, look, this is my reunion dinner today. Is the food good?" Xu Feng, a native of Yichang, Hubei Province, has worked in Hengnan Deyi Precision Electronics Industry Co., Ltd. for ten years. At the scene of the group annual banquet, he couldn’t help but make a video call to his wife and show his family annual dinner to his wife and daughter far away from home.
"I mainly hope that my wife and family can rest assured that everything is fine here." Xu Feng told reporters that this was the first time in his life that he was not in his hometown for the New Year. He didn’t expect the secretary of the county party committee to come to celebrate the New Year with everyone. He felt very warm, very homey and very festive.
Yang Wenji, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Hengnan Industrial Cluster, told the reporter that 21 enterprises in Hengnan Industrial Cluster had 523 non-Hunan employees, and 262 people stayed in Hengyang for the New Year. Considering the epidemic prevention requirements, the group annual banquet was held in several venues. Employees can take their seats in the canteen only after measuring the temperature by infrared rays.
In addition to inviting employees to dinner at the group annual banquet that day, the county party secretary also distributed a "big gift package" to each employee. The "Gift Package" includes hand sanitizer, masks and other epidemic prevention materials, as well as 200 yuan cash-filled red envelopes, 20g mobile phone traffic, and a Hengyang tourism year card.
It is worth mentioning that the menu of the group annual banquet on that day is also quite particular. "We have prepared a total of 12 dishes, in addition to our local specialty in Hengnan, the earthen bowl, and also specially prepared dishes for the tastes of employees in different places." Yang Wenji introduced that in addition to the requirements for taste, considering food safety, the raw materials of the group annual banquet have passed the inspection of the food and drug supervision department.
"Our purpose is to hope that non-Hunan employees who stay in Hengnan for the New Year can have a good year! Have a peaceful year, a happy year! " Yang Wenji has a bright smile.
