Over the past year, we worked hard to safeguard the baseline and strengthened the "firewall" for overall risk prevention and control. The Bank followed the requirements on preventing and mitigating major risks, strengthened overall risk management, and achieved balance among safety, liquidity and

COVID-19, he volunteered to stay on the forefront. To relieve the work pressure of his colleagues, he often shuttled among three branch offices. He strictly implemented the regulations of epidemic prevention and control, helped take temperature of colleagues and clients, sterilized office areas, business space, self-served equipment and accommodation areas, registered the clients entry & exit record and provided home-delivery security defense at the collection sites. He is famed as the "Anti-pandemic Pioneer" of the sub- branch.
