From late June to early July 2024, over ten leading textile enterprises including Shenghong Holding Group, Weiqiao Pioneering Group, Erdos Group, Dasheng Group, Hongdou Group, Dali Silk, Tongkun Group, Hengli Group, Anhui Huamao Group, and Yueda Textile held a series of events to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. According to public information compiled by the Texworld Editorial Department, these events have evolved from purely ceremonial commemorations into deep integration with corporate strategy and daily operations, showing a distinct 'Party Building +' characteristic.
From Ceremony to Integration
At Shenghong Holding Group, Party Secretary Miao Han'gen outlined the 'Four Combinations' for the next phase of Party building work during a commendation conference, explicitly requiring integration with business, management system optimization, work style construction, and talent cultivation. This deployment is not an empty statement but directly targets four core dimensions of corporate governance. Similarly, Erdos Group embedded Party building into its business development fabric, using offline classrooms and online platforms to strengthen members' ideological and political identity. This approach means Party building is becoming an important tool for unifying thought, building consensus, and coping with market fluctuations.
Dasheng Group's event was particularly special—it commemorated the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Nantong Independent Party Branch at Dasheng Cotton Mill while celebrating the 105th anniversary of the CPC. Party Secretary Bao Weidong emphasized that cadres must answer the era's question of 'inheritance' and 'development,' summarizing the Dasheng spirit as a concentrated embodiment of Zhang Jian's entrepreneurial spirit, red genes, craftsmanship, and patriotism. For a century-old textile enterprise, such cultural heritage is itself a differentiated competitive advantage.
Resonance Between Red Spirit and Industrial Transformation
Hongdou Group Party Secretary Zhou Haijiang used the four dimensions of Yan'an Spirit as a framework to systematically deploy the enterprise's development path, requiring all cadres to transform the spirit into driving force for high-quality development. This alignment of revolutionary spirit with business logic is not an isolated case in the textile industry. During its red study tour, Tongkun Group likened its 'unity, struggle, pragmatism, and innovation' spirit to the Long March spirit, believing that 'no matter how difficult the road, as long as people are united and steps are steady, we can surely break through.' This kind of spiritual mobilization has practical significance when the industry faces overcapacity and export pressure.
Hengli Group innovatively held a 'Red Light and Shadow' creative performance competition, where 12 Party branches used classic red films as a medium, integrating Party history learning and job insights into original performances. This form not only enhanced member participation but also indirectly improved the creative expression and collaboration skills of grassroots teams—soft skills increasingly important in the textile industry's shift toward branding and customization.
Industrial Signals Beyond Data
From an industrial perspective, the intensive holding of these activities sends several noteworthy signals. First, leading companies generally link Party building with talent cultivation. Shenghong's 'Four Combinations' explicitly include talent cultivation, and Anhui Huamao Group emphasized 'putting morality first' during its commendation conference, reflecting the industry's attempt to build stable talent echelons through organizational systems amid intensified talent competition. Second, Party building activities are becoming important carriers for corporate culture construction. Weiqiao's chorus concert with over 2,000 employees and Dali Silk's red silk cultural and creative works indicate that enterprises are using cultural means to strengthen internal cohesion. Third, the integration of Party building with strategic issues like green transformation and technological innovation is becoming tighter. Multiple enterprises mentioned 'green transformation' and 'technological innovation' in their Party building deployments, suggesting that Party building is becoming a lever for implementing corporate strategy.
