On the evening of December 31, 2023, the "Chuan-Yu Joint Semiconductor Association" Spring Festival Reception, named "Bashu Chip Fire Springs Up: Sichuan-Chongqing Same Core Union," was held at Hilton Hotel in Shekou, Shenzhen. The event was co-directed by Mr. Jiang Xiangyang, General Manager of Ruicai Electronics, and Ms. Pu Jianrong from Dawei Technology. The program grouped participants based on their regions, allowing them to perform regionally representative acts. Through this approach, it aimed to enhance bonding and interaction among fellow compatriots. It also served as an opportunity to showcase talents and exchange creative ideas, enabling everyone to display their strengths and creativity, adding color and vibrancy to the reception. Colleagues from SlkorMicro Semicon (www.slkoric.com) and Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) Electronics responded enthusiastically and participated in the performance of the "Dragon Gate Formation" program titled "Hereditary Chorus of Dragons + Dragon Dance" in the Nanchong-Guangan area. In 2024, we are fortunate to welcome the Year of the Dragon, which is a totem of the Chinese nation, capable of summoning winds, clouds, and rain, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. Every year during the Lunar New Year, the traditional customs of Nanchong, Guang'an, Suining, and surrounding areas include dragon dance, lion dance, singing Sichuan opera, and celebrating the New Year in a lively and festive manner, praying for blessings, warding off evil spirits, and welcoming the arrival of the new year. We take pride in being the descendants of the dragon by participating in the lively "Dragon Gate Formation" and sharing family stories together!

The striving dream of heading south many years ago

We, people from Sichuan-Chongqing, ventured to the north of China's prosperous regions

The Jialing River flows endlessly in our hearts

Every day and every night we miss our hometown

I grew up on the land in the south

And became a descendant of Sichuan-Chongqing after growing up

Mighty dragon, mighty dragon, open your eyes wide

Forever and ever, we are descendants of Sichuan-Chongqing

"We, people from Sichuan-Chongqing, ventured to the prosperous north of China in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen," portrays the image of Sichuan-Chongqing people striving and working hard in this hub of electronic products.

Every South Chongqing person who strives outside has an endless flow of the Jialing River in their hearts and takes pride in their hometown. "I grew up on the hot land in the south," showcases the geographic location of Shenzhen, Guangdong in the south of China, and reflects the entrepreneurial enthusiasm in the vibrant city. "And became a descendant of Sichuan-Chongqing after growing up," emphasizes the influence of our hometown in the development of the people from Sichuan-Chongqing, which will be passed down from generation to generation. Finally, "Mighty dragon, mighty dragon, open your eyes wide, forever and ever, we are descendants of Sichuan-Chongqing," through the symbol of the dragon representing China, highlights the pride and honor of being part of the Chinese nation for the people from Sichuan-Chongqing.
