The creativity and innovation displayed by the employees were truly remarkable.
In conclusion, YGM’s initiative to organize a Dragon Boat Festival event and encourage employees to participate in a friendly competition of making zongzi not only fostered team spirit but also helped to promote Chinese traditions and culture, strengthening pride in their heritage as a community.
