Li Shumin is secretary of the Party committee of Little Duck Inc. Group, an enterprise in east China's Shandong Province involved in the manufacture of such products as washing machine, water heater, refrigerator and air conditioner. This year she has gone through an extraordinarily difficult period following the restructuring of the company's leading group.
Li insists in playing her roles with three identities: a citizen of People's Republic of China, a member of the Communist Party of China and a leader of Little Duck Inc. Group. She sets herself the principle that in whatever role, she should always take the lead, in solving problems, mastering new knowledge and learning new managerial methods.
Last summer, Little Duck recruited more than 100 new university graduates. Li set a training course for them and invited people of the company's development department to give lectures so as to help these young people get mentally prepared for crisis and learn how to work as a team. In this way, she hoped these new employees could recognize the challenges of fierce market competition and combine their ideals with reality. Li also proposed to introduce such trainings among the middle-level administrative personnel. "The team spirit is what we need most in time of difficulty," she said.
This year Li was elected delegate to the 16th National Congress of CPC. She said she would try her best to implement the "Three Represents" theory, which focuses on the future role of the CPC as representatives of "the development trend of China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people."
Li has prepared many proposals for discussion at the congress.
