1 dose of responsibility + 1 touch of warmth = 1 ticket

"Having been in Wenling for four years, I still haven’t bought my own ticket home yet," said Gong Xunmi, an employee from Wanbang Pharmaceutical’s solid-dosage workshop, visibly excited after finally receiving her ticket.
On January 16, 2013, to help out-of-town employees (the "new Wenling residents") secure train tickets, the ticket-grabbing team—led by Deputy Director Lin Yunhui—sat neatly arranged in the office, each member intently focused on their computer screens. That morning, Deputy Director Lin assembled a group of 10 people from departments including the Office, Human Resources, the Listing Office, and the Marketing Department, equipping them with 11 computers and 11 separate ticket-buying accounts to race against time in snapping up train tickets. The scene was nothing short of impressive: everyone synchronized their gaze on the computer monitors, which displayed nothing but the official railway ticketing website. Each team member carefully checked and entered the personal information of the employees assigned to their specific responsibility. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Fellow workers, only ten seconds left!" Instantly, the atmosphere shifted from calm to tense, as if a tiny stopwatch were ticking away inside everyone’s hearts. And just as the clock hit 10:00, the countdown finally came to an end.
"Time's up, comrades—let's grab it!"
"I can't log in—what should I do?"
"How could there be no tickets left?"
"What’s going on? Gone already this quickly?" Some ticket-snatching team members didn’t manage to grab a single ticket, leaving them both amazed and resigned by how swiftly "no tickets" became the reality.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the ticket-collecting team, a total of 18 train tickets were secured. However, some employees still hadn’t managed to get their tickets. So, office staff personally called each of those employees who hadn’t yet purchased their tickets, explained the situation, and kindly asked if they’d be willing to travel by bus instead. They then carefully counted and double-checked the number of people involved.
On the evenings of the 16th, 18th, and 19th, Deputy Director Lin Yunhui personally went to the passenger bus station to purchase tickets. When asked why he chose to buy tickets at night, he explained: "To avoid inconveniencing other passengers trying to buy tickets, I decided to come to the station in the evening. At night, there are fewer people buying tickets, and coordinating with staff over the phone during the process takes a lot of time—especially since we’re purchasing such large quantities. That’s precisely why evening is the most convenient time for us."
Thanks to the relentless efforts of the company’s relevant departments, the employee ticket-purchasing initiative has finally come to a successful conclusion. Employees were promptly notified by phone, and everyone was thrilled to hear the news. Qin Yanyun, who hails from Xi'an, Shaanxi, couldn’t contain her joy upon learning that tickets had been secured. She shared that buying train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush is notoriously difficult, so she expressed deep gratitude for the company’s thoughtful benefit—providing tickets for employees from out of town, which has relieved a major worry for “new Wenling residents” like herself. This initiative reflects our company’s longstanding commitment to helping employees from other regions return home safely and comfortably during the busy holiday season.
