Walking Toward Goodness, Setting Out for Love! Kunlun Lubricant Is Always on the Way ~

On September 8, the 2018 “Good Walker” hiking public welfare event started with a gun at Juyongguan, Badaling Great Wall, Beijing. Thirty teams and 120 members from PetroChina’s headquarters organs and enterprises and institutions set off from here to walk a 50-kilometer challenge, finally arriving at Huijia International School, passing on positive energy through personal action. As one of the participating teams, the Kunlun Lubricant team took third place among 800 participating teams with a time of 6 hours 24 minutes 14 seconds, achieving another great result! All team members walked shoulder to shoulder, persevering for love, using the power of walking to change themselves and others, and practicing Kunlun Lubricant’s social responsibility and commitment with love.

A 50.2-kilometer cross-country hike is 7.805 kilometers more than a marathon’s 42.195 kilometers, equivalent to 125 laps of a 400-meter track, and is accompanied by varied terrain including the Great Wall, villages, highways and mountain forests. Even walking slowly, this distance is by no means easy; it is a dual test of physical strength and willpower.
The four members of the Kunlun team came from three different units and had never trained together before. During the race, everyone stayed united and moved toward the common goal. How much to pace, whether to take supplies — they discussed together, and encouraged each other on the hardest Mangshan section and during the 40-kilometer limit period. Yu Weihua from the Karamay plant suffers from foot spurs; to win honor for the company he insisted on having two nerve-block injections before setting off despite the doctor’s advice. Yang Pingfang from the Karamay plant, the only female member among the top five teams, kept going and ran at the front. Wen Xueliang from the Jinan branch was taking part in a 50-kilometer cross-country hike for the first time. Fan Chuang from the Lanzhou R&D center, as team captain, kept cheering everyone on along the way and put great effort into how to walk scientifically and lead the whole team. It was this team that, with tenacious perseverance and unyielding spirit, stood out among 800 participating teams to win third place! The honor belongs to them, and even more to Kunlun Lubricant and to PetroChina! They showed the bearing of the brave and dedication to their goal, building dreams through good deeds — every step of theirs brings change! With this belief, they strove onward to fulfill the study dreams of more underprivileged students!

Walking for love, cheering on “Xuhang”
Gathered they are a ball of fire, scattered they are stars across the sky. The ultimate goal of taking part in “Good Walker” is to raise more donations for the “Xuhang” study-assistance public welfare project. In just one month, enterprises affiliated with PetroChina and their employees actively and enthusiastically responded to the group company’s call, with great zeal for “raising funds and keeping fit” for love; as of 22:00 on September 8, total donations had exceeded 850,000 yuan, with more than 52,000 employees taking part. Kunlun Lubricant in particular had many employees take part and overfulfilled its team’s donation-raising task.
A public welfare journey has a starting point but no end; the race is over but the warmth continues. The “Good Walker” donation channel will remain open until September 14. The funds raised by the PetroChina team will be used for the “Xuhang” study-assistance public welfare project to help extremely poor high school students complete their studies and realize their “university dream.”
Kunlun Lubricant has long stayed true to its original aspiration, cared for society and firmly fulfilled its social responsibility, having many times taken part in donations for education, supported sports undertakings and carried out many public welfare activities. Through taking part in this activity, it hopes to contribute a share of Kunlun care to more underprivileged students and fulfill their study dreams. As a representative national brand enterprise, Kunlun Lubricant’s development is closely linked to social responsibility; taking part in this activity not only contributed to the development of public welfare undertakings but also won a good social response, successfully establishing the image of a caring, warm and responsible national brand enterprise.
Achieve love through action and bring charity into daily life; every step of the Kunlun Lubricant team not only shows the fearless spirit of oil people but also brings the hope of love to students! On the road of good deeds, you and I are together; we firmly believe: with love in the heart, what is there to fear about the distance!
