“A teacher transmits the Dao, imparts knowledge and resolves doubts.” At every stage of life, we meet different teachers, who grant us wisdom or spur us onward.

On September 11, branches of the main factory jointly held the themed event “Form Teacher‑Student Bonds and Cherish Teachers’ Kindness”. Mentors and apprentices from various posts gathered at Mingde Hall to enjoy this heartwarming occasion.

The bond between mentor and apprentice is both a karmic connection and a spiritual practice; it carries forward heritage and inspires innovation. The title “Master” bears heavy responsibility and deep affection.

Respecting teachers and valuing education is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. All participants learned and performed the apprenticeship ceremony. Apprentices presented tea with both hands and sincerely said, “Thank you for your hard work, Master.” They expressed gratitude for the patient guidance and support from their mentors in work and daily life.

Family members took turns to share touching stories between mentors and apprentices, and wrote sincere blessings for their masters on greeting cards. At Good‑Ark, they are colleagues, friends, and above all, one loving family!

A fun interactive game for mentor‑apprentice pairs: blindfolded peanut feeding. Three pairs took part in each round. Each bowl contained eight peanuts. Blindfolded apprentices used chopsticks to pick up peanuts and feed their mentors. The pair who finished fastest won. Laughter filled the venue as everyone enjoyed the game.

To form teacher‑student bonds and cherish teachers’ kindness. Mentor‑apprentice pairing is far more than a simple ceremony. It passes down experience and love, and brings new vitality through continuous growth and accumulation across generations.
