While most of us choose to escape the heat in air-conditioned rooms on a hot summer day, Lei Jun, the 55-year-old founder of Xiaomi Technology, has chosen a different way to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival – taking part in a dragon boat race in his hometown. Yes, you heard it right, the tech giant, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, not only came to the stadium in person, but also personally beat the drums to cheer for the Hu family team, showing a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity.
On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, on the banks of Pai Lake in Xiantao, Hubei Province, people gather to watch the annual dragon boat race. The sun shines on the lotus pond, sparkling, but the most attractive thing is not the beautiful scenery, but the special drummer - Lei Jun. Dressed in a simple T-shirt and shorts, and wearing a straw hat, he doesn't look like an entrepreneur at all, but more like an authentic Xiantao man. The arrival of Lei Jun not only aroused the splash, but also aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.
When the order was given, the drum beat immediately sounded. Lei Jun waved the drumsticks, and the drums shook the sky, injecting a strong impetus into the members of the Hu family's team. According to Li Hua, a volunteer at the scene, Lei Jun was very devoted, striving for perfection in every drum beat, as if telling the team members with the sound of drums: "For the sake of your hometown, rush!" This is not only an encouragement to the team members, but also a kind of remembrance of Lei Jun's own childhood memories, he once said that he was passionate about dragon boat racing since he was a child.
Lei Jun not only expressed his love for his hometown by participating in the competition, but also mentioned in the interview that he would invest 23 billion yuan in Wuhan to build Xiaomi's Wuhan headquarters. It's a way for him to give back to his hometown and part of his business strategy. Lei Jun said that Wuhan, Hubei Province, has obvious geographical and talent advantages, which is very suitable for the development of intelligent manufacturing. This will not only help the economic development of the hometown, but also promote Xiaomi's long-term planning.
Lei Jun's participation is not only a respect for traditional culture, but also an innovative integration of modern technology and traditional festivals. Through his practical actions, he showed the world that a Chinese entrepreneur cherishes traditional culture and has deep affection for his hometown. This cultural confidence and sense of responsibility is part of his success.
After the game, the Hu team won the game. Lei Jun shook hands with the team members one by one, smiling. His behavior not only makes people feel the traditional charm of the Dragon Boat Festival, but also allows us to see the social responsibility and cultural consciousness of an entrepreneur.
Lei Jun's participation is not only a simple public relations activity, but also a transmission of cultural symbols. In this way, Lei Jun not only emphasized the importance of traditional culture to the world, but also demonstrated the sense of social responsibility and family and country feelings of a successful entrepreneur. This kind of influence from the individual to the hometown to the whole country is the best example of the convergence of technology and culture in our time.
Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, Lei Jun used a dragon boat and a drumstick to remind us that no matter how the world changes, the deep emotions rooted in culture and the feelings of family and country are always the force that pushes us forward.
