Folk music performances including the Hulusi piece 'Mountain Azalea,' the erhu piece 'Horse Racing,' and the suona piece 'Ten Farewells to the Red Army' conveyed the deep bond between the military and the people through their unique charm. The dance-and-song performance 'Green Flowers in the Army' and the dance 'Dancing Youth' showcased the harmonious blend of strength and grace characteristic of the times. Finally, all participants joined in singing 'The Song of Zhongmei,' using its stirring melody to interpret the sense of responsibility and dedication of Zhongmei employees.

Yu Cui elaborated on the construction path of the Group's veteran service system: relying on the advantages of being the vice-chairman unit of the Jining City Association for Supporting the Military and Preferential Treatment of Military Families, the Group has established the 'China Coal Platform' through a three-pronged approach of 'targeted recruitment and precise matching, skills training and empowerment, and long-term promotion channels,' deepening cooperation with veteran affairs departments and continuously optimizing the local environment for veterans to achieve success.
The symposium reached a consensus: the Group will continue to strengthen the 'military-enterprise linkage' mechanism, take more practical measures to enhance the brand of military-civilian cooperation, and inspire veterans to play a leading role in corporate transformation and local construction

Through solemn ceremonies, heartfelt songs, inspiring speeches, and practical discussions, the Group has deeply rooted the 'August 1st Spirit' in the fertile soil of its corporate development. This event was not merely a festive celebration but also a spiritual forging and a solemn pledge of responsibility. Zhongmei employees will undoubtedly carry forward the red gene, embody the essence of soldiers through their professional responsibilities, and march forward with determination on the journey of serving national defense and contributing to society under the call to 'unite and take on responsibilities.'
