Crafting Dreams, Shining in Phoenix City Competition

News Summary
On September 23, the 2025 Yinchuan City Culinary Workers Skills Competition closed at Mingcui Lake National Wetland Park. More than 60 participants from across the city competed side‑by‑side in four categories: Chinese cooking, Chinese pastry, restaurant service, and roasted lamb. The atmosphere was lively yet well‑ordered.

The event was co‑organized by the municipal federation of trade unions and other departments, with challenges designed to promote high‑quality development in the food‑service industry. Contestants showed steady knife work, meticulous pastry techniques, perfect timing on the grill, and courteous service etiquette. Their performances highlighted not only personal talent but also the professionalism, camaraderie, and spirit of mutual support that characterize the industry.

Reflections and Inspiration
A skills contest like this brings everyday crafts onto the stage, honoring manual labor and the pursuit of a better life. In kitchens and dining rooms, attention to detail and patience often matter more than flashiness; solid skill turns a simple meal into reliable nourishment and trust.

The ancient saying reminds us: “Be faithful in small things, loyal in your duties, and over time you will reap steady, lasting results.” May more workers view competitions as opportunities to learn and help one another, continuing to train diligently, provide for their families through their craft, and contribute a steady, trustworthy presence to city life.

Scripture
Matthew 25:21 – “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many more. Come and share in your master’s happiness.”
