How are you? I do hope that you are well and have a relaxed weekend or a Happy Easter if you celebrate it.

One of the biggest events of Chinese finance and securities market in 2008 is to push the GEM (Growth Enterprise Market) to be launched. Its working rules have been published to collect the opinions of the public this weekend.

As the appointed company to publish its first hand information real time in Chinese and in English, we will become the first multimedia information company that will be able to publish the first hand information of all of Chinese securities markets (Main board, SME board, GEM board, Fund and Bond) at the first time in China.

Except feeling a huge honor and biggest trust, we feel more responsibilities, obligations to the people and our country. We are facing a good opportunity and a new challenge.

Knowing the new market would be started at any time, we have being doing some preparative work since last year. Now, the Beijing branch of us has had 3 new TV studios with better equipments and bigger sizes than the Shenzhen headquarter. Also, we have matched a more powerful working team already.

Saturday morning, as soon as the work rules of the GEM were explored, we organized our managers to learn it. Meanwhile, the marketing and sales teams of us in the other cities came back to Shenzhen to discuss our work in the new situation.

I am glad to see the quick development of the Chinese securities market and our company. I feel lucky that I have been working in the industry since it was found. I cherish my career life in the industry. I would like to do my best for the country via my daily work. Every day, I am thinking and working on creating something new and innovating something old, to improve our work efficiency.

In my free time, I get up earlier to learn English before I go to work. I am happy that the Beijing Foreign Language College offers us a quite good English teaching system online. Every day, I gain some new knowledge; every day, I correct something wrong that I had not realized in my English using for a long time.

Meanwhile, I keep my painting and music learning no matter what has happened in my life. .

How about you? Do you have anything new to do in your work and life?

I am just a learner on that art of painting, music, calligraphy, languages and to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a little bit things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be An Electronic Bridge Of Culture Exchange, Friendship and Language Learning. To help the others while to improve myself.

I appreciate your understanding, directions and supports. I do hope to get your friendly help...
