——Aircal Corporation’s Patriotic Film Screening Event “The Nanjing Photo Studio” Successfully Concluded

I. Event Purpose: Learning from History to Gather Strength for Progress

In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the global anti-fascist war, and in a bid to deepen patriotic education, Aircal Corporation organized a company-wide screening of the historical film The Nanjing Photo Studio on August 15. The event aimed to:

• Remember National History: Reflecting through film on the struggles of ordinary people during the 1937 Battle of Nanjing, rekindling the collective memory of national suffering
• Strengthen Team Spirit: Bonding employees with the courage to “defend the truth,” reinforcing a sense of mission and corporate cohesion
• Empower Development Consensus: Transform patriotism into professional commitment, igniting innovation and practical action

🎬 II. Light and Shadow on Site: Ordinary Heroes Illuminating the Dark Pages of History
Centered around the microcosm of the “Lucky Photo Studio” during the Nanjing Massacre, the film follows the life-and-death choices of a group of ordinary citizens:

• Guardians of Historical Truth: Civilians who were forced to develop photos of Japanese atrocities risked their lives to preserve these images as evidence, using their fragile strength to defend national dignity
• Witnesses to Human Resilience: From desperate survival to courageous resistance, the characters embody the cry of Chinese sons and daughters—“Our land is sacred, every inch must be defended”
• A Warning Across Time: The black-and-white portrayal of Nanjing’s old alleys juxtaposed with today’s prosperous scenes delivers the message—peace is hard-won; we must constantly strive for self-improvement

📌 Employee Reflections:

“When the historical photo with number 1213 appeared on the screen, what we touched was not just pain, but a sense of responsibility to protect the company and build our home.” — Zhang Kai, Engineer, Technical Department

✨ III. Employee Reactions: From Tears to Action
The screening stirred deep emotions and reflections, sparking spontaneous discussions across multiple dimensions:

• History Illuminating the Present:
  Management representatives reflected, “A company is like a photo studio—each employee must be a guardian of truth. Every technological breakthrough at Aircal is a modern-day response to the spirit of resistance from our predecessors.”

• Every Position is a Battlefield:
  Young employees vowed, “The courier’s brave act of delivering negatives in the film mirrors our determination to overcome technical challenges—extraordinary missions can emerge from ordinary roles.”

• Cultural Co-Creation and Sharing:
  A cross-departmental team proposed, “Let’s expand the ‘Photo Preservation Action’ into a ‘Quality Preservation Action,’ establishing a quality supervision mechanism involving all staff, transforming patriotism into lean manufacturing practices.”

🌟 IV. Beyond the Film: Integrating Patriotism into Corporate Culture
This film screening marked the beginning of Aircal’s “Red Empowerment Plan,” with continued initiatives planned:

💎 Conclusion: Forging the Future through Remembrance

“As we walked out of the cinema, the lights of China today were the ultimate post-credits scene of The Nanjing Photo Studio.”
