At the launch ceremony, "Madajie" transformed into "Grandma Ma," sharing her entrepreneurial story with the children, from her origins in Dingxing, Baoding, Hebei, starting from a small workshop with a large pot, a cleaver, and a stone slab, to becoming a leading Chinese national candy company. Through her personal experience of founding the "Madajie" brand through hard work, she encouraged children to study hard and diligently to contribute their strength to the nation's technological advancement.

"I hope more children can maintain reading for half an hour every day and grow happily for 365 days!" Ms. Ma Guimin led 340 children present in reciting the "Joyful Reading Passbook" opening declaration and participated with the children in a dream reading painting session. The colorful patterns on the long scroll recorded the children's dreams related to reading.

Those who read extensively will naturally have a refined air, and it is the fragrance of books that leads to far-reaching achievements. We hope that by organizing and implementing such a public welfare activity using delicious treats as the main medium, we can encourage students to read happily for half an hour every day, reading at least 10 books a year, allowing students to gain pleasure from reading.

While the "Madajie" brand is committed to creating a sweet and wonderful life for consumers, it has also consistently actively initiated and participated in public welfare undertakings, practicing social responsibility. Over the years, it has contributed to and participated in public welfare activities such as "Years of Time, Love Together," Tencent Charity 99, "Walk for Love," "Love Bags," "Love Wardrobes," and "New Year's Eve Dinner for Children Who Have Lost Their Parents," cumulatively sending love and food to nearly one million left-behind children in impoverished areas such as Sichuan's Daliangshan, Gansu's Huining, and Xinjiang's Hotan, using practical actions to spread the power of love.

A strong youth makes a strong country. To realize the dream of a strong nation requires practical action and struggle. In the future, the "Madajie" brand will surely remain true to its original aspirations, remember its mission, continue to uphold the values of "sincerity, innovation, responsibility, efficiency, and inheritance," continuously create a sweet and wonderful life for society and consumers, use craftsmanship to inherit excellent traditional culture, consistently practice social responsibility, and continue to strive to become a leading and trustworthy candy and leisure food brand in China.
