Sands China Team Members Watch Company Screening of Film 'The Battle at Lake Changjin'
Part of Sands China's ongoing professionalism education efforts
(Macao,
Dec. 6, 2021) – Sands China Ltd. hosted a
special screening of the film "The Battle at Lake
Changjin" for its team members Nov. 24 at Cinema
Alegria. This is the fourth film screening Sands China
hosted for its team members, as part of the company's
ongoing efforts to build professionalism and deepen
understanding of national development and the mainland
among them. Sands China also invited members of three
local community organisations to join the screening: the
Macau Federation of Trade Unions, the General Union of
Neighbourhood Associations of Macau, and the Women's
General Association of
Macau.
"The Battle at
Lake Changjin" portrays the awe-inspiring encounter
between the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the U.S.
Army in a fierce battle fought in the winter of 1950,
when the Chinese forces managed to achieve a key victory
in the Korean War despite severe conditions such as
extreme weather, starvation and disadvantages in
firepower. The film showcases the Chinese people's
unwavering spirit and
aspirations.
Dr. Wilfred
Wong, president of Sands China Ltd., said:
"Professionalism education remains an important priority
for Sands China. We hope that through this screening of
'The Battle at Lake Changjin,' our team members can
continue to gain deeper understandings of Chinese
history and culture. And as our national identity
strengthens through connections to our past, like with
this film, we hope team members will continue to feel
inspired to make contributions to the advancement and
development of the
nation."
Lao Weng Leng
was among the nearly 240 audience members and said:
"This is the fourth time I've been to a screening
organised by the company, and I am thankful for the
company's considerate arrangement. The Chinese army
fought very courageously in this film, and under some
really unfavourable conditions, and I thought that was
so inspiring."
Sands China
has been committed to bolstering the professionalism of
its team members through various initiatives, including
Greater Bay Area visits, professional literacy training
courses, professional lectures, various professional
exchange activities, and through film viewing sessions.
Over 30 professionalism activities have been held to
date, with a participation of over
10,000.
