On December 21, Yang Hua, Party Secretary and General Manager of the China Workers’ Home, conducted a visit and research tour on the development of the Pengfei Trade Union. Accompanying him were Zhu Hongsheng, Deputy Inspector of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions; Liu Youze, Chairman of the Provincial Financial Trade Union; Liu Lezeng, Director of the Provincial Workers’ Activity Center; Wang Haisheng, Executive Vice Chairman of the Lüliang Municipal Federation of Trade Unions; Wang Qianping, Director of the Lüliang Municipal Federation of Trade Unions Office; Yan Xiangjue, Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Xiaoyi Municipal People’s Congress and Chairman of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, along with other relevant leaders. Li Yang, Deputy General Manager and General Manager of Supply and Marketing at Pengfei Group, and Lü Xiaofang, Chairwoman of the Pengfei Trade Union Federation and Head of the Comprehensive Department, extended a warm welcome.

The research team watched a promotional video on Pengfei’s trade union, conducted on-site inspections of the union’s facilities—including those dedicated to legal services, cultural activities, and women’s empowerment—as well as the staff activity room and the “Mommy Corner,” and gained a thorough understanding of the achievements made by the enterprise’s grassroots trade union in safeguarding workers’ rights and interests, caring for their well-being, enriching their cultural life, building platforms for career development, and supporting the company’s transformation.

Lü Xiaofang provided the research team with a detailed account of Pengfei’s recent efforts to bring universities into the company, attract top-tier institutions and renowned faculty, establish a lifelong learning system for employees, and build a technology‑driven, knowledge‑based enterprise. She also outlined how the company has created platforms for staff development, training, competition, and career growth. Furthermore, citing the inspiring story of Li Xiaodong from Pengfei Coking Plant—whose technical expertise and academic credentials enabled him to rise from an entry‑level position to become deputy director of equipment at the plant—the union’s initiatives regarding salary and benefits for skilled workers, as well as mechanisms for career advancement, were highlighted.

Li Yang pointed out that it is better to teach someone how to fish than to simply give them a fish. The Pengfei Trade Union cultivates employees’ technical skills, knowledge, and overall professional competence, thereby genuinely enhancing their individual capabilities and future prospects, with the aim of nurturing talent, building strong teams, and strengthening the enterprise.

Yang Hua expressed great appreciation for Pengfei’s initiative to bring in universities and renowned professors to conduct on-site training sessions at the factory. He was particularly moved by the fact that, as a private enterprise, Pengfei Group has managed to implement such solid and well‑structured trade union work. He noted that education is the greatest benefit an employer can provide to its employees, and that Pengfei’s trade union demonstrates far-sighted vision by prioritizing knowledge and skills development at the grassroots level. He added that this visit allowed him to see the bigger picture through the details, revealing how meticulously Pengfei’s trade union operates—truly reflecting care and warmth toward its workforce. While commending Pengfei’s trade union efforts, he urged the organization to continue striving to excel in its grassroots work and to help elevate trade union activities across the province to a new level.
