On January 29, we celebrated the Chinese New Year. For us, as a company with its roots in China, this is a unique opportunity to share elements of Chinese culture with our Polish team and celebrate. Together we welcomed the Year of the Wood Snake, which is associated with wisdom, flexibility, and development.
Traditionally, Chinese New Year celebrations last about 15 days - it is then that people celebrate wealth and rest, as well as take their time to strengthen family ties. For the Chinese, it is a reminder of winter nearing its end, and the spring's coming – the time when life sprouts anew. The wood snake is regarded as a symbol of reflection and 'shedding the skin', therefore marking an opportunity for self-development.
For us, it is also an opportunity to get to know each other better and strengthen ties. Thus, we organized plenty of activities for our employees, who could try their hand at calligraphy and gongbi painting. Indulging in these activities requires precision and focus, which comes in handy not only in art, but also in everyday work tasks. Later, we tried to master the art of paper cutting and played Chinese checkers, as well as handed out prizes for scoring well in a quiz on knowledge of China. We also checked our zodiac sign in the Chinese horoscope to see what the new year will bring.
The year of the Wood Snake is looking promising! We hope it will bring us all peace and chances to grow and gain wisdom. There are many challenges and new projects ahead of us as we start this year with inspiration and newfound energy. We wish you the same!
