 8 February 2021. Though the usual lively singing and dancing performances were missing from this online edition, the active participation on the excited staff in the first ever virtual annual gathering still retained the familiar warmth with a refreshing twist. Mr Ponch Poon, CEO of Popular Greater China and Canada, along with various staff of the management team in Hong Kong, gave their speeches to welcome the new year. Ray Chan, Popular e-Learning (HK) Ltd’s Technical Manager, was also online to present the Long Service Awards to three staff virtually. It was a refreshingly novel approach that left many of our staff with nothing but praise. A New Norm The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major changes in the lives of many, but has also resulted in the emergence of new ways of doing things, like the increasing use of online learning. As Popular Hong Kong’s pillar of support, Popular Guangzhou keeps with the changing times by not only holding the fort in the traditional publishing business, but also seizing opportunities to open up new markets through active participation in the development of more e-learning materials and online education platforms. As the popular saying goes: Winter will not last forever; Spring will arrive eventually. Popular Guangzhou will continue to forge ahead in 2021 with positivity!
