    　　On August 6, 2018, the first volleyball tournament organized by the trade union of Xiangtan Electrochemical Group Co., Ltd. officially kicked off at the outdoor court of the Wastewater Treatment Company. During the opening ceremony, Zhong Hong, chairman of the company’s trade union, delivered an enthusiastic speech, noting that the company places great importance on employees’ cultural and sports activities. By making good use of their spare time, the company organizes a wide variety of colorful cultural and recreational events, fostering a positive atmosphere of “happy work and healthy living.” He also encouraged every team member to uphold the principle of “friendship first, competition second,” compete fairly, and actively participate in the tournament, striving to demonstrate unity, friendship, high moral standards, and the distinctive spirit of electrochemical workers! Leaders from all participating units attached great importance to this event, carefully organized it, personally took part, and greatly boosted morale.

    　　The opening ceremony began with a rousing athletes’ march. Fifteen participating teams, totaling 180 athletes and 10 referees, entered the court with vigorous strides and high spirits. The opening ceremony was presided over by Liu Ying, the union official.

In the competition, we will obey leadership and follow instructions; abide by discipline and respect the rules; honor the referees and respect our opponents; work together in unity and courageously strive for excellence; put friendship first and competition second; and demonstrate both style and high-level performance.” Referee Liu Ying, speaking on behalf of all referees, pledged: “We will strictly obey the command of the referee panel, rigorously adhere to the competition rules and referee discipline, treat all competitors with respect, officiate courteously, remain serious and meticulous, and carry out all refereeing duties fairly and impartially.” Afterwards, each team withdrew from the court in an orderly manner, bringing the opening ceremony to a concise and successful conclusion.
