Today’s society is measured by digits and speed. The pace of life is so

are all chasing efficiency. What I want to express here is that the fastest Li Feiyang
way is often to “slow down”. And I do not mean slowness in the way that

support laziness or procrastination. What I mean is, we need to find the
balance in our busy lives and relax our mind and mood.
Slowness is a kind of ease. Two months ago, me and other colleagues
who just joined the company may still have been busy with graduation
or job seeking. If there is one word to describe that time, I think
“overwhelming” would be the right one. Why? Because we were in a
rush. Only by slowing down can we see clearly the way forward and our
own positioning. For new beginners like us, we shall guard against
arrogance and impetuosity and move forward with ease and unhurried
speed.
Slowness is a way of accumulation. From the perspective of an
employee, slowness is not to lay down our work. Rather, we shall find a
more mature way to accomplish tasks. Maturity might be reflected
through professional proficiency or personal charm. From the
perspective of Suntech, while pursuing high-power, high-efficiency
modules, it shall slow down to highlight the high-quality product and
company development. Circular economy is not achieved through quick
success and instant benefits.

The world of movies is so colorful. There is peaceful love, kindness
of ordinary people, wrongdoings, the love of a lifetime. There is
also heroic behavior and the inability to change an undesirable
situation. You never know which scene, clip, or dialogue from a
movie will bring back memories.
I do not remember when I started to Apart from movie experience, I think this is also the maturity of my

with reunions and departures, we become more realistic, grateful,

I always watch movies to relax myself after a whole day’s work at
Suntech. For some people, sitting in a closed space for two hours or Logistics Department
longer might be torture. However, to me it feels almost ceremonial. I like Lang Yuanyuan
to turn on the projector in my small room and select some highly rated
movie the Douban list and spend two hours in tranquility and wonder.
Whereas books are like spiritual worlds in a thousand different forms,
needing my full imagination, movies are direct and vivid, bringing you
right into that situation at any moment and making you feel it instantly.
In that short period, I can have a dialogue with myself. This 120
minutes is a window for me to see into other people’s lives and
connect with them through a cathartic experience. It’s been said
that the invention of cinema has extended our lives three times,
because in movies, we get at least twice as much life
experience from it.
