Preface：She could be a professional elite shuttling through the city's buildings, or a mother safeguarding the warmth of countless households at the kitchen stove. On the fertile land of Liaobu for innovation and entrepreneurship, they are weaving the fabric of the times with their diverse roles. On the occasion of the 115th "March 8th" International Women's Day, Liaobu Media Center, in collaboration with the Town Women's Federation, warmly presents the "Her Power in Full Bloom" series of reports. Through the lens and with words from the heart, we'll explore her stories and decode the resilience, wisdom, and warmth inscribed in time.

Her Power in Full Bloom

In the rising tide of the "she economy," an increasing number of women are bravely chasing their dreams and diving into the entrepreneurial wave. With their wisdom and tenacity, they are writing their own entrepreneurial legends. Today, let's step into the story of Cai Yulian, the chairwoman of Dongguan Sambound New Material Technology Co., Ltd., and uncover the strategies of this "scientific and technological iron lady" for breaking through challenges.

"Entrepreneurship is indeed more difficult for us women. We often face more doubts, greater pressure, and the challenge of balancing work and family. But I've always believed that as long as we stick to our original aspirations and work down-to-earth, we can surely find our own path," said Cai Yulian. In 2002, Cai Yulian and her husband jointly founded Dongguan Worldbound Plastic Products Co., Ltd., starting from mold design and manufacturing. In 2011, she established Dongguan Sambound New Material Technology Co., Ltd., getting involved in the design and production of cosmetic packaging materials and precision molds and injection molding. The company's products sell well across China and are also exported to overseas markets such as Europe, America, and Southeast Asia.

Cai Yulian told us that the road to starting a business overseas is arduous, but she has always believed that with perseverance and innovation, the future will surely be brighter. In search of new growth points and development opportunities, Cai Yulian has always attached great importance to product research and development and innovation. She allocates 3% - 5% of the total annual revenue as research and development funds. Currently, the company holds over 100 patents, covering multiple fields such as cosmetic containers, AI toys, and new energy vehicle parts. As the company's production scale gradually expands, Dongguan Sambound New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has been recognized as a high - tech enterprise, a provincial - level specialized and sophisticated enterprise, and a doubling enterprise in Dongguan. "I think entrepreneurship is not just for myself, but also for the purpose of helping others. When employees have a stable income in our factory and I see their happy faces, I feel a great sense of achievement," Cai Yulian said with a smile.

Cai Yulian is not only a brave dream chaser but also an entrepreneur with a strong sense of social responsibility. In September 2023, Cai Yulian was elected as the president of the Liaobu Women Entrepreneurs Association. She encourages members of the association to actively participate in the "Project of Hundreds of Towns, Thousands of Villages, and Tens of Thousands of Enterprises." On the one hand, they donate books for free to urban reading stations in many villages (communities), contributing to the construction of a "book - filled Liaobu." On the other hand, they actively support the construction of "Beautiful Courtyards," helping to beautify the livable, business - friendly, and harmonious countryside. At the same time, Cai Yulian leads the members of the association to become "adoptive mothers" of special children in Liaobu Town. They carry out pairing assistance activities irregularly, providing them with "motherly" care. It's worth mentioning that she sets an example by guiding some member enterprises with the right conditions to set up "adoptive mother positions," offering flexible working hours for mothers who need to take care of their children. "Over the years, I've deeply understood the difficulties women face in the workplace. As a mother of three children myself, I've set up 'adoptive mother positions' in my enterprise, hoping to help more women balance their careers and families," Cai Yulian said. She hopes to let more people feel the warmth and care of society and enable more women to realize their self - worth.

Cai Yulian is well aware that the success of an enterprise cannot be achieved without social support. Therefore, she always unites the members of the Liaobu Women Entrepreneurs Association and is committed to giving back to society and actively fulfilling corporate social responsibility. She told us that in the future, the Liaobu Women Entrepreneurs Association will continue to deepen the construction of "adoptive mother positions" to provide more career development platforms for women. At the same time, they plan to establish a special fund to support women's entrepreneurial projects and help more women realize their entrepreneurial dreams. In terms of charity, they will strive to expand the coverage of the special children care project and establish a sound long - term assistance mechanism to contribute more to building a harmonious society.
