According to reports, the Chuan-Yu Joint Semiconductor Association's New Year Gala, named "Bashu Chip Ignites with Vigor," was held on the evening of December 31, 2023, at the Hilton Hotel in Shekou, Shenzhen. This year's annual meeting allowed fellow villagers to perform regionally representative programs grouped by area. With this organizational arrangement, regions such as Nanchong-Guang'an, Dazhou, Chongqing, Suining, Meishan, and Mianyang all presented carefully prepared programs. Among them, the Nanchong-Guang'an Loong Gate Formation "Heirs of the Loong" program - a choral performance of "Descendants of the Loong" combined with a Loong dance performance - served as the opening act for this year's annual meeting. The program was led by Manager Song Yuanming and featured participation from colleagues at Kinghelm and Slkor.

Live Performance of "Descendants of the Loong" and Loong Dance

The Loong Gate Formation's program "Descendants of the Loong" is a splendid fusion of traditional folk themes and modern rap music elements, enhanced by the incorporation of Chinese traditional costumes, Loong dance props, and more. The performance opens with a refreshing and innovative visual presentation that combines both tradition and contemporary trends. The adapted song "Descendants of the Loong" possesses a blend of ethnic and popular elements, delivering auspicious meanings and blessings for the Year of the Loong through creative and artistic performances. This set a great tone for the successful hosting of this year's annual meeting!

Cultural Origin of the "Descendants of the Loong" Program:

In the auspicious Year of the Loong in 2024, the Loong is a totem of the Chinese nation, symbolizing prosperity, peace, and abundance. In the northern Sichuan region of Nanchong, Guang'an, and Suining, traditional customs such as Loong lantern dances, lion dances, puppet shows, and Sichuan opera performances are held during the Chinese New Year festivities, signifying the drive away of evil spirits and welcoming the new year with joyous celebrations. Gathering together to perform the "Loong Gate Formation," we take pride in being heirs of the Loong!

Live Rap Performance

The Loong Gate Formation's "Descendants of the Loong" program made a dazzling debut, winning immense popularity and igniting the entire audience with an excellent live response. The unique combination of song and dance, as well as the creatively adapted rap content, was the result of meticulous discussions and multiple revisions by Mr. Song Shiqiang and the team before reaching its final polished form. The outstanding success of the performance was built upon the dedicated efforts and hard work behind the scenes. In particular, the rap section of the song "Descendants of the Loong," personally adapted by Mr. Song Shiqiang, added a finishing touch to the piece. Combined with Manager Song Yuanming's talented and skillful rap performance, it truly infused the song with soul.

The rap lyrics of the song "Descendants of the Loong" were adapted by Mr. Song Shiqiang.

The rap lyrics of the song "Descendants of the Loong," adapted by Mr. Song Shiqiang, not only highly praise the heartfelt longing of Sichuan and Chongqing people who are thousands of miles away from home and never forget their hometown roots, as well as the unwavering determination, hard work, and dedication to their original aspirations; but also authentically depict Mr. Song Shiqiang's more than 30 years of arduous journey pursuing his "southern dream of struggle." It is like his own evaluation of private entrepreneurs: "Having traveled through countless mountains and rivers, expressing thousands of words, enduring countless hardships, overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers, it is a common experience for the group of private entrepreneurs; starting from scratch, persevering through hardships, self-reliant, making outstanding contributions to society, they are the backbone of society!"

Furthermore, the spectacular Loong dance performance was a significant bonus for the successful performance and award-winning of the program, showcasing the spirit of teamwork and cooperation among colleagues at Kinghelm Electronics (www.kinghelm.net) and SlkorMicro Semicon (www.slkoric.com). Mr. Song Shiqiang, to ensure the effectiveness of the program and the rehearsal status of the team members, deliberately provided venues and arranged working hours reasonably, allowing the Loong Gate Formation team members to have more time and enthusiasm to fully engage in the program rehearsals.

The "Chuan-Yu Joint Semiconductor Association" 2024 appreciation dinner, entitled "Bashu Chip Ignites with Vigor," ended successfully. It was an event that emphasized building on past achievements, fostering creativity and team spirit, and enhancing emotional bonds and friendships among fellow countrymen. This event also served as an important platform for strengthening communication with their hometowns, promoting interaction, exchange, and integration. Attendees expressed that such activities encourage innovation, recognize outstanding contributions, and are beneficial for promoting traditional Chinese culture. They also once again felt the warmth and love of the Sichuan-Chongqing family, reaffirming their pride and honor as descendants of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Reading Expansion

The Rap section of the song "Descendants of the Loong," adapted by Mr. Song Shiqiang, is filled with heartfelt lyrics. The line "We Sichuan and Chongqing people strive in Huaqiangbei" portrays the image of Sichuan and Chongqing people working hard in Huaqiangbei, the hub of electronic products in China. "The endless flow of Jialing River resides in our hearts" combines the geographical landmark of Jialing River to express longing for hometown. Every NanChong person who strives away from home carries an everlasting Jialing River in their heart, regardless of their current location, always proud of their hometown. "I grew up on the hot land in the south" echoes with "We Sichuan and Chongqing people strive in Huaqiangbei" and emphasizes that Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei is located in the southern part of China, affirming it as a fertile ground for entrepreneurship, innovation, and talent accumulation. "When I grow up, I am the descendant of Sichuan and Chongqing" highlights the commitment of people from Sichuan and Chongqing to carry on their heritage even when they are far away from home. Finally, concluding with the line "Mighty Loong, mighty Loong, open your eyes wide, forever and always we are the descendants of Sichuan and Chongqing," it directly praises the pride and honor of being part of the Chinese nation as Sichuan and Chongqing people using the symbol of the mighty Loong.
