Only by insisting on honor and honesty are we able to build our credibility and ultimately gain the trust and support of others. At the same time, it is only with learning and pursuing continuous improvement that we are able to ensure our professionalism and competitiveness while promoting our evergreen enterprise.
We trust that as long as we endure in practicing these core values, time will become our friend and help us to meet a better self!

Erica Chao
“Every human has four endowments: self awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom…the power to choose, to respond, to change” Stephen R. Covey
I had been struggling with career fatigue for nearly 5 years since entering into my 30s. Since then, I have grown mentally from a dependent person to someone with true independence. Today, I choose to work towards achieving a status of interdependence.
I enjoy my work not from the achievements, but from the job itself. I am energized by my devotion to creating tremendous value to the company and society as a whole.
I feel true freedom when I stop thinking about my personal image and instead think BIG.
