When the morning light pierced through the clouds on September 3, 2025, the projection screen in the company conference room was already streaming live
footage of the military parade. A group of middle managers in formal attire sat neatly at their seats, holding not only notebooks but also anticipation for this
special ceremony. As the backbone of the organization,
these usually strategic professionals were now prepared to receive a spiritual baptism transcending time and space. The national flag and company flag stood
side by side at the front of the conference table,
symbolizing the profound resonance between personal growth and national sentiment.
As the live broadcast showed the honor guards marching in unison across Tiananmen Square, exclamations suddenly rose in the conference room.
The most touching moment came when the veterans' formation appeared—the previously murmuring room fell silent instantly, with several female executives
quietly wiping away tears.
These veterans who had endured wartime turmoil, with their trembling military salutes, had just demonstrated to these professionals what eternal perseverance
truly meant.
When the fighter jets streaked across the sky, the CFO in the back row suddenly remarked, 'Their aerial formations are just like our cross-departmental budget
coordination.' This two-hour observation,
for these data-driven business elites, redefined the deeper meanings of loyalty, discipline, and inheritance amidst steel tides and historical echoes.
As the live broadcast froze on the image of doves soaring against the blue sky, the conference room still buzzed with discussions.
These normally data-focused managers were now translating the parade's impact into workplace reflections.
One director shared suddenly, 'We always complain about poor team execution—today we finally understand that true discipline is ingrained in one's bones.'
This shift of thought from national ceremony to management practice was precisely the unique value that collective observation bestowed upon middle managers.
After the event, many spontaneously posted parade photos on the company's WeChat account, with captions all featuring the same keyword: 'spiritual armament.'
This trans-temporal dialogue allowed the martial spirit and commercial civilization to achieve a strange harmony within the conference room.
