Time serves as the finest measuring stick. It traces every mark left by labor and bears witness to how work reshapes our lives.
One month, one year, three to five years, a decade, two decades, thirty years… Each milestone writes a distinct life story. Let these Tongwei employees share how labor lights up ordinary days.
One Month
Hello, A Brand-New World
Labor changes life
After my first month at work, when I spotted my first "salary" entry in my bank account, I realized I no longer needed to rely on my parents. I could treat myself to milk tea after work with money I earned myself. Independence tastes sweet and reassuring.
Tang Bo, Accountant, Finance Department, Tongwei Automation
Just one month into my career, I have transitioned from a nervous newcomer to a fully integrated team member with clear goals. Though brief, this month of steadfast labor has brought tremendous growth professionally, mentally and personally. I quickly mastered core basic workflows, felt the warmth and strength of teamwork, and learned that dedicated labor is the fastest way to fit into a new role. Every earnest effort fuels rapid progress. Moving forward, I will stay true to my original aspiration and passion, embrace work with a proactive mindset, forge ahead step by step, keep learning on Tongwei’s platform, and strive to become an outstanding Tongwei employee.
Liu Chengfeng, Raw Material Inspector, Quality Control Department, Tianmen Tongwei
It has only been a month since I joined, yet this seemingly ordinary job has subtly shifted my mindset and daily life. Previously, I knew nothing about food safety and raw material testing, and I was careless and sloppy in daily affairs. Now I carefully verify all technical indicators and observe the color and texture of raw materials every day. This job has taught me that every ordinary labor task carries immense responsibility. I have grown more patient and meticulous, paying close attention to trivial matters in life and developing a rigorous work ethic. Labor fills me with a strong sense of fulfillment and achievement, gives me clear positive goals, and fills me with hope for the future.
One Year
Stand Firm, Then Gaze Far Ahead
My first year of work meant finally mastering obscure operational procedures and filling my drawer with stamped contracts. Looking back, the flustered rookie I once was is long gone. Looking forward, among the thousands of city lights, one now truly belongs to me.
Zhan Zhenghao, Sales Representative, Aquafeed Department, Chongqing Tongwei
From an inexperienced newcomer to an independent professional, I spend my days at fish ponds supporting farmers. Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than helping clients raise healthier fish and boost their income with professionalism and sincerity. I will keep my feet firmly planted on this role, shine through hard work, and build a better life through persistent effort.
Feng Hao, Aquatic Technical Service Engineer, Nanning Bio
Stepping out of campus, I transformed from a complete workplace novice into a service engineer. My skin has tanned from field visits, and my professional capabilities have advanced steadily. I once hesitated to speak and act in the market, but now I can analyze, plan, document and communicate clearly. Colleagues, team support and supervisors have guided me every step of the way. Checklist-based workflow management keeps my work organized and builds my confidence. I believe I will keep growing and thriving here.
Chen Tianyong, Aquatic Technical Service Engineer, Zhuhai Haiyi
Shortly after I started, I was assigned to the team project for extruded crucian carp feed, which brought heavy pressure. I spent months conducting market research and industry exchanges to fully grasp the overall status of the crucian carp sector. We chose to track breeding performance and whole-cycle management for every pond down to the smallest detail. Today, we have formed deep strategic partnerships with two leading industrial clients in South China, and Haiyi’s crucian carp feed has earned a solid market reputation. From zero foundation to modest achievements, I have found true happiness in creating and realizing self-worth. Success never comes overnight; it accumulates through daily hard work. Happiness does not fall from the sky — a good life is built through labor. I will keep striving for a brighter future.
Geng Zhonglei, Aquatic Service Manager, Huai’an Tongwei
This past year at Tongwei has been a journey of steady growth toward a brighter future. I overcame initial unfamiliarity and anxiety to become calm and assured. My job delivers stable income and reliable livelihood security while reshaping my character imperceptibly. Nurtured by Tongwei’s positive, excellence-driven culture, I have learned to treat every detail with rigor and accountability. My mindset has shifted from impetuosity to composure, from passive waiting to active ownership. An intelligent, efficient workplace, clear career pathways and caring teammates bring new gains and progress each day, broadening my horizons and enriching my inner life. Working at Tongwei gives me solid security and lets me envision a better version of myself and a promising tomorrow.
Chen Wensen, Sales Representative for Shandong Marketing Territory, Qingdao Qihao
My two years at Qingdao Qihao have been filled with sweat and rewards. We are not merely sales staff, but trusted partners for our clients. Whenever clients face labor shortages, we roll up our sleeves to unload and carry feed without hesitation. Despite the physical toil, all fatigue fades when we see clients’ approving smiles. Today I independently manage a full market territory. Every time my clients achieve successful farming results thanks to our service and our sales performance climbs, I deeply realize that labor creates tangible value and infuses life with profound meaning. At Tongwei, I have gained personal growth and clients’ trust — trust that fuels my drive to press forward.
Three to Five Years
Confident and Capable
Three to five years of labor turn every "I can’t" into "I can." It has allowed me to buy a larger home for my family and new toys for my children. Love is no longer just empty words, but tangible support. In middle age, the most romantic gift is not romance, but the dignity and security labor grants me. When my family needs me, I can always reassure them: “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Liang Wei, Sales Specialist, Jiangsu Tongwei
Starting as a rookie salesperson, I treated every client visit as a learning opportunity and every conversation as valuable practice. I proactively studied product knowledge, delved into client demands, and covered every corner of my regional market — visiting customers by day and reviewing performance by night. Driven by professionalism, sincerity and perseverance, I ranked top performer in my second year and won the 2025 Jiangsu Tongwei Sales Champion title, hitting a new personal annual income high. This experience taught me that hard work can turn humble beginnings into extraordinary progress, and labor quickly lights up life and fulfills dreams. There are no shortcuts in sales; only down-to-earth dedication earns trust and delivers results. I will stay true to my mission, give my all, reward the company with stronger performance, and build a better life through consistent labor.
Li Lin, Business Engineer, Fishery Equipment Department, Tongwei Automation
When I first joined, I knew little about the business and often panicked when facing challenges. I once felt anxious over trivial tasks and lost confidence amid setbacks. Through consistent hands-on work and team collaboration, I cast off impetuosity and nervousness. I learned to focus calmly on tasks, stay modest amid success, and face work and life with steady assurance. Over these three years, I have built professional expertise and a reliable professional network, and grasped the true meaning of labor: it is not merely task completion, but creating value and fulfilling oneself at work. I also recognize that personal growth relies on the company platform and team support. Going forward, I will uphold craftsmanship through original aspiration, forge ahead with solid practice, keep cultivating myself on Tongwei’s platform, and live up to my time and responsibilities.
Lin Nifan, Purchasing Department, Yangjiang Haiyi
I grew from a purchasing management trainee to a branch purchasing manager. My horizons, insights and professional network expanded as I traveled nationwide to inspect raw material supply channels. My communication skills advanced through daily exchanges with leaders, colleagues and cross-departmental collaboration, and routine branch operations have matured my character. Now I act as a mentor to new recruits. Though my career is still young, I wholeheartedly share my experience and lessons learned to help them avoid past mistakes, inject fresh talent into the company and create greater value.
Ten Years
Turning a Career into a Lifelong Calling
A decade of labor becomes second nature. I can tell if machinery runs abnormally just by listening to its hum, and judge product quality by scent alone. Labor has transformed not only my bank balance, but also my profound understanding of this industry. Ten years of dedicated craftsmanship, well worth every moment.
Chen Wenying, HR Specialist, HR & Admin Department, Chizhou Tongwei
Ten years ago, could you have imagined your life today? A decade back, I cycled 40 kilometers to work daily, braving wind and sun, determined to excel at my job. Over these years, my work, position and responsibilities have evolved, yet my commitment to labor never wavered. Now I drive a car and have two children. Labor has rewarded me far beyond salary figures — it has brought profound spiritual fulfillment.
Xu Bin, Production Manager, Nanning Aigefei
My career journey has taken me to branch facilities in Maoming, other parts of Guangdong, Wuxi and Hainan. I have grown from an ordinary central control operator to Production Manager at Nanning Aigefei, a remarkable career transformation. As production manager, I carry greater authority and heavier accountability. Though I am an ordinary person, three years of unremitting efforts allowed Nanning Aigefei to fully meet maximum production and sales targets for three consecutive years. This hard work has brought generous rewards: I bought a home in Meishan and fully funded my son’s university education. Labor has reshaped my life trajectory and greatly lifted my quality of life.
Duan Jianqiao, Production Clerk, Production Department, Lianyungang Tongwei
When I first started, I woke up before dawn every day to rush buses, a grueling daily routine. I once dreamed of owning a car to end this exhausting commute. I have no extraordinary talents or grand ambitions, yet I firmly believe steady, earnest work will gradually improve life. At work, I always take every small task seriously, never slacking off or complaining, bearing full responsibility and practicing patience daily. Though my job is ordinary, it delivers stable income, solid security and the ability to slowly save toward small personal dreams. Finally in 2024, through my own labor, I bought my first car. It is not expensive, yet it holds extraordinary meaning. Commutes are relaxed, and traveling home for holidays or handling urgent matters is far more convenient. This car did not come by chance — it is the reward of years of labor, a tangible testament to persistent hard work.
Zhao Chunyue, Quality Control Manager, Changchun Tongwei
I have worked at the grassroots level for 15 years as a QC Manager. Starting in 2024, I visit broiler farms two to three times weekly, weighing livestock and analyzing data to help farmers boost breeding efficiency. This work has earned recognition from the company — I successfully passed the assistant general manager assessment in 2025 — and gained trust from farmers, reducing market complaints. It has also broadened my professional knowledge and deepened my product expertise. From a young, inexperienced girl to a professional manager, this journey reinforces my belief: every effort bears fruit, and all labor brings rewards.
Xiang Weicai, Quality Control Manager, Jiangsu Bada
Before joining the workforce, my understanding of professional work remained purely theoretical. I worried constantly about adapting to new environments and roles, falling into self-doubt amid unknown challenges, which left me restless and impetuous in daily life. After starting work, as I familiarized myself with workflows and solved one business challenge after another, I gradually built confidence in my own capabilities. The fluster I once felt facing new tasks has turned into courage to embrace challenges proactively; past anxiety about the future has become steady determination to advance step by step. I have learned that career growth does not happen overnight, but through steady accumulation day after day. This shift in mindset has also made me less eager for quick gains and more calm and assured in life.
20+ Years
Pride of a Witness – Dedicated to Long, Passionate Years
Twenty to thirty years of labor have turned me into a witness of time. I have watched apprentices grow into core team members, seen the industry blossom from scratch, and witnessed my own hair turn gray after decades of hard work. Labor has become inseparable from my life. It made me a reliable support for my aging parents and a safe harbor for my children as they venture into the world. If you ask how labor changed my life? It allowed an ordinary person like me to support three generations through simple, persistent effort. My hands have contributed to industry progress — this is my greatest honor.
Zhang Jianyong, Regional Production Director, East China Zone I
Over more than two decades, I have risen from a frontline worker to regional production director. This career has not only delivered stable income, but also the confidence to advance step by step. I transitioned from singlehood to marriage, from son to father. Through consistent hard work, I purchased a house and a car for myself, and gifted my wife her dream car on her birthday, building a warm, thriving family.
I once thought life unfolded passively, yet later realized labor and perseverance gave me the ability to protect my family and improve our quality of life. It transformed me from an average employee into the person I aspire to be, and I bring my strong work ethic home with me. Today, I am a source of pride for my children.
We cannot choose our family background or starting point, yet earnest, sustained work can gradually rewrite our lives, filling ordinary days with stability, abundance and hope.
Wang Guixiang, Warehouse Keeper, Production Department, Sichuan Company
Thirty-two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Outsiders see finished goods storage as repetitive, tedious and trivial work, yet years of counting, checking and dispatching orders have trained me to spot defects instantly and cultivated a calm, steady temperament. Every batch of goods leaving my station passes my final quality inspection without negligence or compromise. I collaborate closely with teammates to meet deadlines and finish all daily tasks on time. Watching customers leave satisfied with their goods fills me with peace. Thirty-two years of labor has done far more than support my family — it has truly transformed my life. Financial stability brings security, and earning a living through my own skills grants me dignity. Dedicating myself wholeheartedly to an ordinary role year after year has made my life increasingly stable and bright.
Xu Liujun, Security Officer, HR & Admin Department, Chengdu Bio
My journey with Tongwei began back in 1997. I applied for this role out of genuine fondness for the job, and my original mission was to serve faithfully and fulfill every duty to the fullest. Over these decades, the industrial park has undergone earth-shaking transformations: from manual gatekeeping and operations to intelligent weighing systems, from three resident companies to five, and from sparse greenery to lush landscapes. I have lived through, witnessed and participated in every change. I regard this park as my second home, and pursuing joyful work and life is my core goal. I greet everyone I encounter, familiar or stranger, to foster a warmer, closer community atmosphere for all staff. I have never accomplished extraordinary feats; I simply fulfill my basic duties faithfully. As long as I am on duty, I will guard my post and handle every minor matter with care. After a lifetime of labor, I will soon retire honorably. Tongwei feels like family, and I will cherish every plant, tree and colleague here deeply. After retirement, I will continue to follow Tongwei’s development and cherish my years working in the park. I also hope the new generation of Tongwei employees will understand: no matter your position, steady dedication and conscientious attention to every task will bring growth and self-actualization.
