Sun Jianxin: Simply to Help More People

According to Sun Jianxin, General Manager of Jinliufu Business Department, as the “happiness wine of Chinese people”, Jinliufu has been committed to bringing more happiness for consumers.

Jinliufu has paid attention to the livelihood issue of “going home for spring festival” for a long time and used to help people “Go home with happiness” by “Sending message, presenting aircraft tickets” and other means. However, such public welfare investment of the enterprise was only a drop in the ocean, in view of the widespread social demand. Therefore, Jinliufu blazed a new trail and established the “Mutual Help Coalition for Spring Festival Travel” to help more people.

When interviewed by CCTV, Sun Jianxin told the reporter that “Donation of 1 million, sometimes, is only a number on a check. But when money is used on the platform that encourages mutual help and car sharing of a public welfare nature, the kindheartedness and social meanings triggered by the one million could not be measured, which can also promote corporate image.”

At the departure ceremony on January 15, Sun Jianxin said to the media that Jinliufu “Mutual Help Coalition for Spring Festival Travel” was still a newborn, as many aspects of it remained to be improved, but the activity would turn better and better with their continuous efforts and perseverance.
