With a responsible attitude, I proactively understood and obtained meeting information and materials before meetings, gaining a detailed understanding of the company's overall production operations and business conditions, thus preparing adequately for important board decisions. During meetings, I actively participated in discussions and provided reasonable suggestions, fulfilling the positive role of an independent director. The convening of board and shareholder meetings complied with legal procedures, and all major business decisions followed relevant processes, resulting in valid resolutions. I believe that all proposals reviewed at the board meetings did not harm the interests of all shareholders, especially minority shareholders, and therefore voted in favor with no opposing or abstaining votes.
