Primary school participants in a game of Chinese Chess at a competition co-organised by Asia Symbol
187 primary school students in Rizhao City participated in the Asia Symbol Primary Schools Chinese Chess Competition on 18 April 2015. The competition was jointly organised by the Rizhao Economic and Technology Development Zone public relations department and Asia Symbol (Shandong).
The event is one of many that Asia Symbol, a part of the RGE group of companies, organises to engage the community. Although the competition crowned one champion, runners-up and consolation prizes were also awarded to a total of 30 children.
The Chinese chess competition provides a platform for its young participants to foster sportsmanship and camaraderie, apart from pitting their wits against one another. These initiatives represent the company’s – and RGE’s – philosophy of doing what is good for the community, the country and the company – “利民、利国、利业”.
