The New Aviation Diary vividly captures and诠释s the profound essence of the Yan'an Spirit, the Hongqi Canal Spirit, and the "Fat Brother Spirit," which he cultivated alongside his team during China's reform and opening-up era. It encourages us to frequently look back at history, always hold it dear in our memories, and enables today's generation to reflect on its timeless lessons—providing invaluable inspiration for those who follow. This is precisely the enduring value of the New Aviation Diary.
Forty-five years of ink-scented diary entries celebrating the great era of reform and opening up.
If contemporary China’s development is a breathtaking historical masterpiece, then reform and opening-up is undoubtedly its most vibrant backdrop and most defining feature.
Reform and opening-up: You and I walk this journey together. Mr. Qiu Xinhang enlisted in the military in March 1978—a true advocate, builder, and beneficiary of China's reform and opening-up policy. As Chairman of Henan Siji Pangge Group and Henan Zhongyuan Siji Aquatic Product Logistics Port, he has thrived in this golden era of reform and opening-up.
"In this era, there’s always a force that moves me, stories that linger in my memory, and a burning passion that fuels my enthusiasm. It’s irresistible—I find myself picking up my pen without hesitation." For decades now, whether on business trips or leisure travels, whether delving into current affairs, politics, or corporate management, Qiu Xinhang has consistently thought deeply while meticulously documenting his experiences—never pausing for a single day. Flip through his diary, and you’ll encounter vivid accounts: from fishing along the banks of the Yellow River to the inspiring journey of grassroots entrepreneurship; from competing fiercely in the global "cold-chain arena" under the Belt and Road Initiative to successfully bringing international seafood straight to Chinese families’ tables. Each entry is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Qiu Xinhang’s diary spans various literary forms—ranging from essays and travelogues to poetry. His poetic style is bold, majestic, and brimming with grandeur; meanwhile, his heartfelt, tender, and deeply moving personal notes to family and friends reveal genuine emotions that resonate profoundly. And his insightful essays and travel pieces shine precisely because they uncover profound life lessons hidden within everyday moments. Through every word, readers can sense the unwavering spirit of an entrepreneur—someone who is hardworking, courageous, wise, and steadfastly committed to his beliefs, convictions, and unyielding pursuit of excellence. What may appear effortless at first glance actually unfolds as a unique "universe" of its own, prompting deep reflection and offering invaluable inspiration to all who read it.

As we celebrate the opening of the Xinhang Diary Museum, I am deeply moved to reflect: Diaries are humanity's most primal and authentic records of our thoughts and actions. What may seem like mere daily accounts actually encapsulate centuries of family and national history. Carefully observing every little detail, thoughtfully contemplating life’s changes, and truthfully documenting personal insights—each diary entry not only serves as a treasure for the enterprise but also embodies the invaluable wisdom of an entrepreneur. After all, a true gentleman leaves no stone unturned in pursuing excellence. For decades, Qiu Xinhang has remained steadfastly committed to his pen, seamlessly blending integrity with practicality in both his work and personal life. His remarkable ability to balance benevolence, righteousness, and adaptability vividly captures the timeless essence of the Central Plains’ Confucian business ethos!
Over its more than 5,000-year history, China has cultivated a splendid and brilliant traditional culture, rich with profound intellectual treasures. Recording our life’s struggles and the nation’s relentless progress through daily journals is exactly what today’s era demands as we embark on a new journey toward achieving the second centenary goal—and continue advancing steadily toward the grand vision of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
