A Tidy Smart Factory, A Hopeful New Year – ICT’s Cultural Moment

In keeping with a cherished Chinese tradition, I.C.T recently observed the time-honored custom of “sweeping away the dust” as part of its annual year-end deep cleaning. Rooted in centuries-old Lunar New Year practices, this ritual symbolizes more than mere tidiness—it represents the deliberate removal of misfortune, stagnation, and negative energy accumulated over the past year. By cleansing the physical space, people prepare a pure and auspicious environment to welcome good fortune, health, and prosperity in the new lunar cycle. At I.C.T, this cultural heritage is not only respected but actively embraced, reflecting the company’s commitment to honoring tradition while fostering mindfulness and renewal among its team.

Colleagues from every department came together in high spirits to transform the office through collective effort. They wiped down windows until they gleamed, organized desks with care, sanitized shared spaces, and cleared out clutter to make room for fresh beginnings. Laughter echoed through hallways as teammates helped each other move furniture, reach high shelves, and decorate newly cleaned areas. The result? A bright, orderly, and serene workspace bathed in natural light—visibly refreshed and emotionally uplifting. With red lanterns now adorning the walls, the office stands ready to greet the Lunar New Year: clean, hopeful, and full of promise for a vibrant and successful year ahead.
