[Explanation] On the evening of December 31, 2020, the monks of Sanya Nanshan Temple, people from inside and outside of Hainan Island, and tourists used the traditional custom of ringing the bell to welcome the New Year, ringing the 108 ringing bells at the southernmost tip of China.

Let us welcome the new year together, say goodbye to 2020 (the year of the rat), and usher in a brand new 2021 (the year of the ox).

  Many people said that looking back on the setbacks, difficulties, and challenges experienced in 2020, they are deeply touched. All kinds of past have made them cherish a better life and be able to face difficulties firmly.

  2020 is mainly an epidemic. If the epidemic (affected) is concerned, everyone's business is not very good, and companies and enterprises are not particularly ideal, but after all, it has been reversed. That is to say, the year of the rat is not easy and the "bull" is not easy to change.

  Under the influence of the epidemic situation in 2020, it is relatively difficult for us to be an individual enterprise, and there are more twists and turns, and many difficulties have also come forward.

  New Year's Day is about to celebrate New Year's Eve, and 2020 will also encounter many difficulties. Everyone has spent it together, so it is particularly memorable.

  [Explanation] All the past is a preface. At the beginning of 2021, everyone talked about their New Year's wishes.

  In the new year of 2021, I hope that the epidemic will end sooner, and that our business will return to the past, smoother and better.

  The main hope is that my parents are in good health and that China and our country can survive the epidemic together.

  [Explanation] It is understood that the New Year’s blessing and bell-ringing activity at Nanshan Temple in Sanya began in 1999 and has been held for more than 20 consecutive years. The ringing of 108 bells means that the new year is coming and peace.
