After the intense and busy GMP certification, on the afternoon of August 18 in the sweltering summer, our company held a meeting themed "2016 First Half Work Summary and Second Half Work Plan" in the conference room on the sixth floor. The meeting was presided over by Director Lou of the Pharmaceutical Office, with the chairman, General Manager Cao, and all pharmaceutical employees in attendance.

The main purpose of this meeting was to carefully summarize all work in the first half of the year, analyze existing problems and shortcomings, further unify thoughts, clarify ideas, and carefully plan work tasks for the second half of the year. The meeting consisted of four sessions: 1. A set of photos reviewing the daily work and life of employees over the past six months; 2. Work reports from employee representatives and middle-level managers; 3. Speech by General Manager Cao; 4. Important speech by the chairman. A montage of photos showing employees' work and life reflected a profound theme: One's life is inseparable from work, and working hard is for a happy life. Everyone may have different pursuits and understandings of what an ideal job and a happy life are. In fact, life and work are like a mirror—how we treat them is how they will treat us. When you complain about work and life, you will find that they seem to be getting farther and farther away from you; when you face them squarely, you will feel that work and life are so close.

Two employee representatives respectively reported on their main work in the company over the past six months and shared their good experiences of continuous learning, active work, and happy life, which resonated with everyone. All middle-level managers carefully and detailedly summarized their work over the past six months. They appropriately affirmed some achievements, sincerely pointed out many shortcomings, and also made reasonable plans for the work in the second half of the year.

General Manager Cao delivered an important speech entitled "Comprehensively Implement GMP to Ensure Pharmaceutical Safety of the Enterprise" at the meeting. He put forward the company's main work tasks for the second half of the year: 1. Comprehensively implement GMP management; 2. Complete GMP certification for the two workshops of traditional Chinese medicine oral preparations and Ganoderma lucidum spore; 3. Improve, perfect, and implement various management systems of the pharmaceutical company, and build corporate culture; 4. Complete the application for the pilot project of formula granules. The chairman made an important speech at the meeting, pointing out that: 1. GMP is the red line of the enterprise, and all work must unswervingly and strictly comply with GMP requirements; 2. Enterprise production must prioritize quality and safety first; 3. The work tasks in the second half of the year are arduous, and everyone must go all out to complete all work arranged by the company.

Achievements belong to the past, and dreams require efforts. In the second half of the year, we will embark on a new journey. Colleagues, let us, with enthusiasm and perseverance, sincerity and dedication, diligence and simplicity, passion and sweat, under the correct leadership of the chairman and General Manager Cao, unite as one, continuously improve, strive to enhance, be pragmatic and pioneering, and strive to take all work to a new level.
