Party-building activities in the textile industry are shifting from traditional ceremonial commemorations to deep empowerment of corporate strategy. Recently, more than a dozen textile giants including Shenghong, Weiqiao, Erdos, Dasheng, Hongdou, Tongkun, Hengli, Huamao, and Yueda have intensively carried out a series of activities to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, covering commendations, study tours, themed lectures, and cultural performances. This high-frequency, high-profile collective action reflects the industry's urgent need for organizational cohesion and strategic focus amid a complex market environment.
A New Paradigm of Deep Integration Between Party Building and Operations
Shenghong Holding Group Party Secretary Miao Hangen proposed 'four integrations' at the commendation conference, linking party building with business, management system optimization, work style construction, and talent development. This is not just a slogan but translates party building into quantifiable management actions. Erdos Group, through a network of 1,956 party members, embeds party-building roots into the corporate fabric. Thirteen of its branches were awarded municipal-level 'strong fortress' branches, indicating that party-building effectiveness has been incorporated into local industrial evaluation systems.
Dasheng Group's history is particularly noteworthy. This century-old enterprise, while celebrating the 105th anniversary of the Party, also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Nantong Independent Party Branch in its own cotton mill. This means the tradition of party building and industrial heritage coincide in the timeline, forming a unique cultural asset of 'red genes plus craftsmanship spirit.' Dasheng Party Secretary Bao Weidong's requirement for branch secretaries to serve as 'cultural propagandists' essentially transforms this intangible asset into frontline execution capability.
Red Study Tours and Spiritual Remolding: From Yan'an to Zunyi
Hongdou Group Party Secretary Zhou Haijiang used the four dimensions of the Yan'an spirit—firm political direction, seeking truth from facts, serving the people, and hard struggle—to layout the enterprise's development path. At a time when the textile industry faces shrinking demand and rising costs, this spiritual mobilization has practical significance. Tongkun Group organized over 650 party members to visit Zunyi for a red study tour, aligning the Long March spirit with the corporate culture of 'unity, hard work, pragmatism, and innovation.' Tongkun Chairman Chen Shiliang's summary was straightforward: 'No matter how difficult the road, as long as people are united and steps are steady, we can surely get through.'
Hengli Group's activities were the most innovative—a red light and shadow creative performance competition. Twelve party branches used classic red films as carriers, integrating historical interpretation with job insights for original performances. This immersive party-building model resonates more easily with young employees than simple lectures. Dasheng Silk combined party building with Silk Road culture, creating red silk cultural and creative products, turning party-building outcomes into marketable cultural goods.
Conduction Effects on Industrial Belts
These activities are not isolated corporate actions but deeply tied to regional industrial belts. The Nantong textile belt, represented by Dasheng Group, directly serves the 'Standing at Posts, Leading Projects' initiative, linking party-building breakthroughs with production bottleneck resolutions. Shenghong's location in Wujiang Shengze and Hengli's Suzhou Industrial Park are core areas of the Yangtze River Delta textile cluster. Party-building activities essentially act as adhesives for regional industrial coordination. Weiqiao's event, held at its theater with over 2,000 employees, sends a signal of stable expectations within the Shandong textile cluster.
