On the morning of May 25th, the 12th NGC Employee Dragon Boat Race kicked off at the Xuanwu Lake Dragon Boat Base. To the accompaniment of splashing waves and deafening drums, the speeding dragon boats carried the NGC spirit of "continuously striving for excellence and improvement", its goal of "transmitting the driving force of progress for human civilization", and the aspirations and pursuits of the NGC people for a better life. The NGC Dragon Boat Race has been held for twelve years in a row, and has been moving on continuously through innovation. To further enhance the cohesion and driving force of the company's employees, one senior department member from each participating division was specially invited to board the boats to cheer on and fight alongside their team members. Compared to previous years, this led to a significant increase in the enthusiasm and competitiveness of each team. This year’s race attracted nearly a thousand employees and local citizens to watch the event, with senior members of the county committee and county government of Jinhu County, Huai'an City, in attendance to observe and guide.
