70 years is so short that it feels like many events happened just yesterday. Yet, 70 years is long enough to encompass several generations of Guangzhou Shipyard International's dedicated and inspiring stories.

Why post something like that in Chinese when LinkedIn is banned in China. Meaning the majority of LinkedIn readers are English speaking/reading.
