Families form the building blocks of society. Harmonious families bring social stability, and happy families foster peace across the community. Home is the warmest, most reassuring place, the most cherished haven in the world. It holds those we love and those who love us. Whether in poverty or prosperity, home will always welcome us back.

Recently, each branch jointly hosted an educational event for dual‑employee couples. Participants freely talked about joys and hardships shared with their partners, recalling precious moments within our big family.

Let the games begin! During the tacit understanding challenge, when asked “Who washes the dishes after dinner?”, both spouses answered “the other one”. Everyone present was deeply touched. It reminds us that a thriving family relies on joint effort and shared responsibilities.

In the charades game, a simple gesture from the wife was instantly understood by her husband, who quickly gave the correct answer. Truly, “Hearts linked as one know each other’s thoughts” — a perfect description of this touching scene.

“What touches me most about my wife is her filial piety. She has cared for my parents wonderfully over all these years.” Encouraged by the warm atmosphere, those who are usually reserved spoke up openly to praise one another’s strengths.

Treating your partner’s parents as your own brings good fortune to the family. One day we too will become parents and grandparents. May we set fine examples for our children and pass down noble family traditions.

Videos of love declarations recorded by three ladies were played at the event. One shared: “We have been married for 28 years. You have always been so tolerant toward me. I married far away from home, yet my mother‑in‑law has treated me like her own daughter. You have always recognised my hard work and devotion, making me feel the warmth of home every single day.”

Not good at flowery words, the husbands responded to their wives’ confessions with hugs. The simple line “I love you, my dear wife” carries their deepest and most sincere affection. Some love may never be spoken aloud, yet it is always there. Lu Xiaoliang from the Sincerity Branch also delivered a heartfelt declaration to his wife Zhang Hongqian, getting down on one knee and lifting the mood of the whole room.

Love notes written by our family members brought tears to many eyes. “A hundred years bring us to sail the same boat; a thousand years bring us to share the same pillow.” To meet the right person is the greatest blessing in life. Simple promises such as “never to part” will be honoured for a whole lifetime.

“The family is the smallest nation; the nation is made of millions of families.” We seek inner growth and act for others in all things. We are grateful for our loved ones for their unwavering support. Starting from this moment, let us jointly nurture fine family values, so we may all attain a happy life at Good‑Ark!
