In the morning of June 1st, the 3rd "Love Petrochemical Industry" dragon boat challenge was held in Xuanwu Lake. The race, though held amidst the drizzling rain, did not thwart the enthusiasm lavished by the spectators.
The "Love Petrochemical Industry" dragon boat challenge is sponsored in turn by the four petrochemical companies based in Nanjing. This year, the "Love Petrochemical Industry" dragon boat challenge was sponsored by SNEI, and participated by 8 teams from the four petrochemical companies in Nanjing, i.e., SNEI, BYC, YPC and JLPEC.
Mr. Xiang Wenwu, SNEI’s President, Mr. Wang Jingyi, YPC’s General Manager, Dr. Stephan Kothrade, BYC’s President, and Mr. Qi Jianguo, JLPEC’s Secretary of CPC Committee, were present at the scene to cheer up the race teams.
On the surface of the lake, 4 surging "dragons" attested the spirit of teamwork and unyielding attitude amongst employees of the petrochemical companies; yet the brotherhood of collaboration amongst the petrochemical companies is never thwarted by the drizzling rain. As a result, the 2 teams from SNEI won the third place.
The race ended with a flag handover ceremony, at which Mr. Zhu Jinbao, SNEI’s Deputy Secretary of CPC Committee, handed over the flag to the sponsor of the next dragon boat race, i.e., JLPEC, who will carry on with the dragon boat challenge teeming with the spirit of brotherhood amongst petrochemical companies.
