In the self-introduction session, trainees also performed quite well. Everyone expressed their great honor to join the Suntech family
and promised to work hard in the future to live up to leaders’ expectations. These young people majored in different fields, including

Covid-19 outbreak”; Qin Yuchang from Liuzhou said, “I’ll treat you to the authentic Liuzhou river snails rice noodle if you come to my
hometown”; Yang Qiuyu from Xinjiang joked, “Believe me, we don’t ride horses". Though with different backgrounds, trainees all share
the same belief that their first job will be a life-long career worth fighting for! Beautiful things are fleeting.
Only the camera can make them last forever.

want to record these scenes like what I see through my eyes.
My childhood was in the age of photographic film. With a Fuji point-and-shoot
camera and many rolls of Kodak films, my parents recorded my childhood with
those shutter sounds. I think film photography is like a one-shot deal, for each
piece of film is a one-off thing. Pressing the shutter can not be reversed. After
the photo is taken, you have to take the films to the darkroom and have them
developed. It takes 3 to 5 days to get the final photo, not to mention the
money it costs.
Later the era of digital cameras came. No need to worry about the cost of film
and time spent in taking photos. You could take and view photos whenever
you like. In a very long period of time, at least within the Nokia Era, digital
cameras had been the prime tool to take photos during travel. Then we have

people develop photography as their hobbies and are eager to sharpen their
skills. Thus, the professional camera wins a seat.

the reflector is lifted, and the image is imprinted on a photosensitive element,
corresponding to what is seen in the viewfinder. This WYSIWYG accompanies
the mechanical sound of the shutter, making each shot more ritualistic.
The New Sight Program training camp made a comprehensive training plan for trainees, including workplace knowledge sharing and

The training camp brought trainees initial experience. They have joined their respective departments for further trainings on
professional skills. The company leaders encourage everyone to find the right direction, hold a firm belief in the photovoltaic industry,
always ready to further sharpen personal skills, and make progress in personal and company’s development on such a platform like
