New employees’ speech

Li Mengya, International Cooperation Department

This one-week orientation has been very rewarding. The first is a much more comprehensive understanding of our company. The inheritance mentioned by Secretary Lin made me realize the importance of persisting in struggle, getting rid of the stale and bringing forth the new, and passing on the BIBP spirit from generation to generation. The second is a clearer awareness of teamwork. A simple game made me realize that managers need more wisdom in their work, and the importance of communication between leaders and employees. At last, I have a deeper feeling about career planning. The tutor said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a field, which made me aware that only by being firm in faith and down-to-earth, can we create more value for the company in the future!

Liu Yang, Research Management Department
After a week's orientation, I have a more comprehensive understanding of BIBP, especially from the aspects of development history, research and development, production, quality and pharmacovigilance. Listening to the outstanding contributions from generations of employees in BIBP to the health of Chinese people even the whole humanity, I felt so proud of BIBP, and I am honored to be able to join it, which is a big family with a hundred-year history. As a vaccine researcher, I also feel the burden on my shoulders. BIBP is not only a well-known vaccine enterprise in China, but also undertakes the mission to help Asia, Africa and Latin America in the field of public health, demonstrating the glory of our country. In the future, I will try to pick up well the "baton" from the predecessors, focus on my responsibility, and strive to become a qualified vaccine researcher, and to contribute to the public health and epidemic prevention in China and the world!
