On the afternoon of September 9th, a truck full of 20,500 kg of apples set off from Qixia, Yantai, and headed for Beijing University of Chemical Technology. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival was on the same day as Teacher’s Day, and the novel coronavirus struck again. Every love apple was full of Dawn people’ deep greetings to BUCT teachers and students and their confidence in fighting against the epidemic together.

Previously, on September 5th, the Changping campus of Beijing University of Chemical Technology discovered the novel coronavirus epidemic cases. The teachers and students of the whole school were isolated on the spot. Without leaving rooms, daily meals were delivered to the dormitory uniformly. "The news that teachers and students of BUCT are fighting against the epidemic affects the hearts of every Dawn people." Yu Xiaoning, chairman and president of Dawn Group, said that they immediately thought of donating Yantai apples so that everyone could taste Yantai specialties during the "Mid-autumn Festival and Teacher’s Day" lockdown period. To this end, Dawn Group acted upon the news, set up an action team from the leaders to the employees, and united with relevant functional departments and business units to urgently purchase apples, design and produce packaging, contact logistics overnight, and coordinate packing and trucking.

After two days and nights of unremitting efforts, the apples were successfully shipped after passing through 3 locations. “Thanks for having you around and We are a unity”. The words were full of affection and power. In this war without gunpowder smoke, Dawn people will fight side by side with the teachers and students of BUCT to overcome the difficulties together. As what "A Letter to All Teachers, Students and Staff" from Beijing University of Chemical Technology stated, there is no mountain that can't be climbed if we unite as one man; there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome if we hold our hands together. Please firmly believe that with the joint efforts of you and me, we will be able to succeed and we will eventually succeed. "

Dawn Group and Beijing University of Chemical Technology have carried out industry-university-research cooperation for 20 years, which is known as a model of school-enterprise cooperation. In 2003, they established the "Thermoplastic Elastomer Materials Joint R&D Center of Dawn and BUCT". Since 2012, Dawn has established the "Dawn Polymer Special Scholarship" at Beijing University of Chemical Technology. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Dawn donated CNY 10 million to BUCT to support the school's educational development. In November 2018, the "Dawn Building" was unveiled at BUCT, which was the first batch of building naming in the 60 years since the school was born.

In 2020, after the outbreak of COVID-19, the reusable civilian masks jointly developed by Dawn and Beijing University of Chemical Technology went through a short period of time from research and development to mass production, which effectively promoted the prevention and control of the epidemic and the resumption of work and production. In June of that year, Dawn Group donated 200,000 reusable civilian sanitary masks to BUCT, contributing "Dawn Power" to protect the health of teachers and students.

It is a fine tradition of Dawn Group to visit the campus every festive season. On the eve of the Teachers' Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, Dawn Group visited Xingang Road School in Longkou City, Beizao School, Beizaoqian Village Kindergarten, Sunjia Primary School in Longgang Street, Xinglongzhuang Kindergarten, and other kindergartens. Dawn sent more than 500 gift boxes of love fruits and masks to teachers with deep holiday blessings and care.

Over the years, Dawn Group has always practiced the mission of "developing the enterprise, making the employees happy, and repaying back to the society". While maintaining the high-quality development of the company, it has adhered to public welfare undertakings for a long time such as respecting the teachers, donating to education, and caring for the next generation. Every Children's Day, Teacher's Day, and other festivals, Dawn Group goes to the surrounding schools to visit teachers and students and interprets its social responsibility with practical actions.
