DKE 20th Anniversary Celebration | Two Decades of Innovation in E-Paper
In the golden autumn of October, a splendid celebration unfolded. On the morning of October 31st, the "Twenty Years of Building Momentum, Envisioning the Future with E-Paper"—a grand celebration to commemorate DKE's 20th anniversary—was successfully held at its headquarters in Jiashan, Zhejiang.
The Grand Opening: Embarking on a Glorious Journey
As the morning sun shone, DKE colleagues entered the celebration venue, as if stepping into a time corridor woven from memories and dreams. At the carefully set photo spots, each group photo was a slice of a story, each smile a condensation of twenty years of emotions, and a link to countless moments of shared struggle.
Looking Back on Two Decades: Witnessing a Glorious Chapter
The celebration opened with a heartwarming and touching 20th anniversary retrospective video of DKE.
The video transported everyone back twenty years, from the initial startup team of just a few dozen people to today's global leader in smart IoT e-paper display solutions; from the first monochrome e-paper module to a full range of e-paper products covering all areas of smart IoT—the images flashed by the sleepless nights spent tackling technical challenges, the unwavering steps taken in market expansion, and the innovative diary and glorious years written by countless DKE employees with their youth.
Twenty Years in Our Hearts, A Heartfelt Message
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Chairman Zhou Aijun took the stage to deliver a speech. He didn't use flowery language, but rather, as an entrepreneur and family member, he recounted the company's twenty years of trials and tribulations.
He first expressed his sincerest gratitude to every global customer, partner, and friend from all walks of life who have long supported DKE, and paid the highest tribute to all employees who have stood by him through thick and thin for twenty years. In reviewing its development, he passionately stated, "DKE's twenty years have been twenty years of resonating with the times. Our development has gone through three key stages: from forward-looking strategic transformation, to intelligent and digital upgrades across the entire chain, and now to a deeply advanced global footprint." Looking to the future, he pointed out, "Against the backdrop of the rapid development of AI and green, low-carbon concepts, e-paper is ushering in unprecedented opportunities." He called upon everyone to stand at this new starting point of our twentieth anniversary, maintain our enthusiasm for learning, cultivate innovative thinking, continue to strive and work hard, embrace the changes brought by AI and sustainable development, and jointly dedicate ourselves to connecting everything with e-paper technology, moving towards an intelligent, digital, and green future! "
Two Decades of Shared Dedication, A Brilliant Journey Together
Twenty years is a testament to unwavering commitment, from initial aspirations to meticulous craftsmanship. A heartwarming short film, featuring stories shared by employees, was played, each frame a true testament to DKE's twenty years.
DKE's twenty years are the result of everyone's hard work, wisdom, and dedication, accumulated bit by bit. This is not only a sincere gift to DKE on its 20th birthday; this blessing belongs to every member of the DKE family.
Recognizing Dedication" A Crown of Glory
Following this, the grand ceremony commenced with the solemn awards presentation. The "Five-Year Long-Term Service Award," "Ten-Year Long-Term Service Award," "Fifteen-Year Long-Term Service Award," and "Twenty-Year Long-Term Service Award" were announced in turn. As these numbers were read aloud, time seemed to compress into a stage of glory.
Among the award recipients were core members who had persevered on the front lines from youth to middle age, R&D pioneers who led their teams to break through technological barriers, and young talents who forged ahead in innovative fields. With over seven thousand days and nights of dedication, they exemplified the meaning of "long-termism" and the craftsman's spirit of "choosing one profession and dedicating one's life to it." They are the embodiment of the DKE spirit and the company's most valuable asset.
Sincere Sharing Uniting Strength
Twenty years is an epic of entrepreneurship, etched with the stories of pioneering efforts and flourishing growth; it is also a moving poem written by youth and passion. In this journey spanning twenty years, there are countless moments worth remembering and countless stories worth telling. At the celebration, four employee representatives took turns on stage to share their heartwarming experiences of growing alongside DKE from different perspectives. These stories, like a beam of warm light, pierced through the years and gently illuminated everyone's hearts.
One colleague emotionally recalled that during the most difficult time when he was at the peak of his career but had to temporarily leave his post due to illness, the company unhesitatingly launched a donation drive and opened a green channel for medical treatment, providing him with a strong support and a bright future.
Following this, an employee's spouse, as a family representative, shared how, to support her husband's trust in DKE, she had single-handedly raised their two young children in another city for three years, ultimately deciding to move the entire family to Xitang, integrating their small family into the DKE family. There was also a colleague who had accompanied the company for eighteen years. From a fledgling student fresh out of school to a capable professional woman; from a young woman's youth to a mother of two, she entrusted her best years to DKE, and DKE, with its broad platform and inclusive spirit, enabled her to blossom and transform time and again.
Another colleague, a core force in the company's business development, fondly recalled the years spent fighting alongside DKE, witnessing the entire journey of the business from its inception to its rapid growth. From a small business team of just a few people to a global business network today, she personally participated in and led every leap forward, a vivid testament to the countless days and nights of hard work and wisdom she and her team poured into the company.
These heartfelt stories deeply moved everyone present, making everyone truly feel that this is not just a company, but a warm and welcoming community. It is filled with the warmth of family and the strength to move forward.
Celebrating 20 Years Sharing the Joy
Accompanied by the heartwarming "Happy Birthday" song, a specially made DKE 20th Anniversary birthday cake was slowly pushed onto the stage, symbolizing the sweet fruits of DKE's twenty years of hard work and expressing high hopes for the future.
Chairman Zhou Aijun and the company's management team jointly cut the cake, symbolizing the future and hope, sharing this sweetness and joy with everyone present.
Twenty Years of Unforgettable Dedication, Exceeding Expectations
At the end of the ceremony, a solemn flag-passing ceremony was held. This was a handover of beliefs and missions, with the waving flag being passed from hand to hand among DKE employees: "DKE, Exceeding Expectations! One Team, One Dream!" "Two decades of preparation, E-Paper for the future!" The slogan resounded throughout the venue, echoing through the sky.
