I used to think Huan Li’s introduction would just be purely
about their company, but after today’s introduction, my view about Huan Li
changed. Their introduction talk today was a mixture of their company’s
reflection and ice breaking activities. For example, a dumpling wrapping
competition, to celebrate the Dragon Boat festival, and harvesting of fruits at
their company itself. We wrapped dumplings and plucked fruits with the staff
present today, allowing me to know that the staff here are really friendly and
they did not mind coming back to welcome us today even though it is a public
holiday.
I used to think that the company would just be surrounded by
many buildings. I was surprised that Huan Li had a garden where many different
type of fruits trees are planted there. The staff brought us there to pluck
some fruits like apricot and we were able to consume it immediately. The fruits
were sweet and it has a tinge of sour taste.
I hope to be more courageous tomorrow and be the one who
starts interacting with the staff there to understand more about their company
and their experiences.

I used to think Huan Li is a formal company and we have to
make ourselves adapt to the office environment and be disciplined, however, we
were welcomed by a banner greeting our school. Seeing the banner helped me
understand that the staff there were welcoming and friendly. It is also amazing
that despite the Dragon Boat Festival, the staff were generous enough to
welcome us at the office even when they could have requested for us to come
visit another day. Despite spending their holiday with us, they were still
smiling and cheerful.
I did not expect to have ice breaking games as I expected it
to be a formal meeting and we would just have to introduce ourselves and get
started with the introduction. We were served fruits to settle in. I really
appreciate their efforts. It was really fun to have dumpling making as our
icebreaker. As a person who has never eaten dumpling, it served as a new
experience and gave me knowledge about the culture even more. They taught us
patiently and even demonstrated how to make them, helping us in making too.
I didn’t know they had a garden too. Having lived in a
city, I have never been to plantations. They knew about our living in cities
and brought us to the plantation area. They allowed us to try ripe fruits and
taught us how to identify ripe and unripe fruits. Trying the fruits was
nice and made us feel even more welcome. I first entered Huan Li technology
thinking that it will be a stern workplace and would more demanding in terms of
attitude and behaviour but however their generosity and welcoming nature were
enough to help us appreciate and to get to know such companies like Huan Li
Technology.

I used to think that we will be going to Huan Li today for
long and back-to-back talks and sharing by different members at Huan Li. Now I
think Huan Li is a place where I can feel very welcomed by all the friendly and
caring staff there. We were first greeted by a banner on the gate where
vehicles drive in. One of the security guards saluted us while the bus was
driving in. Although it was a public holiday for the staff, they had kindly
returned to the office to meet us and to conduct a few ice breaker sessions.
When we arrived at the conference room, we were briefed by a few senior members of the staff. We then had some dumpling tasting session which
led us to the dumpling making competition, where we get to learn how to wrap a
dumpling from the staff there. After the competition, we left the building to
pluck some fruits from the trees they have in Huan Li. We got to try the fruits
after plucking them. They have fruit trees such as apple tree, pear tree and
plum tree. We then returned back to the conference room and received a welcome gift
from them. The day at Huan Li concluded with a group photo with the management
and staff.
