On December 26, 2025, the “Longan Guangzhou 2025 Starry Night Conversation” event hosted by the Longan Guangzhou Youth Department came to a warm conclusion! Young lawyers temporarily set aside the distractions of work and business, and joined a dual celebration of barbecue camping and heartfelt conversations. Under the winter lights and bright stars in Guangzhou, they enjoyed a comfortable time of “finding oneself and connection in a uncertain world.”
Camping and Barbecue
From the beginning, the venue was already filled with warmth: the charcoal fire on the barbecue grills was burning hot, with a variety of foods like kebabs, vegetables, and cold dishes available. Alongside, various refreshing drinks and snacks created a fragrant atmosphere. Professional KTV equipment was ready to go, waiting for everyone to sing, adding to the romantic atmosphere of this heartfelt gathering.
Lawyer Chen Luowei, Secretary-General of the Longan Guangzhou Youth Department, served as the host. He started the event with a warm and inspiring speech: “Looking back at 2025, we all grew through our journey. There were certainly some shortcomings, but fortunately, we continued to walk together. Tonight, let’s switch to a ‘standby mode’, relieve our stress, and exchange gifts and stories under the barbecue atmosphere. Let’s talk about the past year and our hopes for the future.”

Then, Director Liu Xin of the Longan Guangzhou Management Committee delivered a speech. He shared his insights based on industry trends and expressed his hopes for the young lawyers: “Although the environment is uncertain, I hope everyone can maintain a cautious and optimistic attitude, and be ready to adapt. In the new year, I hope everyone can focus on their professional skills while also trying new things and embracing change. Let’s grow together under Longan’s platform.”

Gift Exchange. Annual Review
During the gift exchange, the number cards given at entry became a link between everyone. The host drew two number cards each round, and the lucky participants paired up to exchange carefully prepared gifts—from calming aromatherapy products, classic books, and exquisite matcha boxes, to practical Joy Tea annual cards and custom perfumes. Each gift carried sincere blessings and became a bridge to breaking down barriers and strengthening relationships. Everyone agreed to fulfill these promises within a month, and after exchanging gifts, they added each other’s WeChat accounts and talked happily, making the winter warmth even warmer.

2025, Starry Night Conversation
After the gift exchange, the participants on stage shared their annual reviews around five important topics. “What was your spiritual support during difficult times in 2025?” “How did your new achievements or experiences change you?” “What are your goals for 2026 in terms of certainty?” “What can summarize 2025 with a ‘heartfelt photo’?” These meaningful and warm topics allowed everyone to share their thoughts. Some used the hope of their family as a support, while others shared their experiences like trying street dance or running 200 kilometers, opening up new possibilities. Others set goals like exercising weekly and making new friends monthly for 2026, aiming for a certain future. Some used moments of family togetherness to highlight the beauty of the year, conveying warmth in their lives. Heartfelt sharing and empathetic responses kept the atmosphere warm.
As night fell, the atmosphere reached its peak. Some sat around the barbecue grills, cooking food and sharing stories. Others sang loudly, using music to express joy and relieve stress. Some sat in groups, continuing their conversations. Stars, fireworks, and laughter created a warm scene. This “Longan Guangzhou 2025 Starry Night Conversation” event not only allowed young lawyers to relax and enjoy time away from work, but also created a platform for deep communication, mutual support, and emotional connection.
In the future, the Longan Guangzhou Youth Department will continue to uphold the cultural values of “cultivating oneself and helping others, and growing oneself while helping others”. It will organize more activities that meet the needs of young people, allowing lawyers to grow professionally while feeling the warmth and strength of Longan’s “family culture”. In 2026, let’s move forward together with these hopes and commitments!
