The old dynasty faded; a new golden age began. On a single night in Xi’an, the city rekindles the splendor of the Tang Dynasty — an era of openness, inclusiveness and pioneering boldness — and brings the Chang’an of 1,300 years ago back into the eyes of the world. Beneath the glimmering lights and the crowds, this magnificent sight is not an accident. It is the reward of generations who worked steadily, with persistence and care, to preserve, protect and pass on a heritage.
The Discipline of Order
Prosperity never grows out of thin air. Glory without standards and rules is, in the end, nothing but passing clouds. The Terracotta Army — thousands upon thousands of warriors, each with a unique face, standing in strict, unbroken formation for more than two thousand years — speaks silently of the mighty power of order and standards. No two soldiers are alike, yet all serve one purpose, one formation, one cause. It is a monument not to a single genius, but to a system that works.
History has already given us the answer: lasting prosperity relies on clear rules, stable order and unwavering commitment. A dynasty that masters this endures; one that ignores it, however mighty, collapses.
The logic of a great enterprise is no different from the logic of a great dynasty. A company that wishes to last must be built on the same foundations: clear values, stable mechanisms, and people who hold the line together.
Built on Rules
A corporate golden age is never achieved overnight. Behind it lies the same truth as history itself: to deliver material freedom through value creation, to win time freedom through sound mechanisms, and to nourish the freedom of the soul through cultural roots.
For nearly two decades, LEFILTER has dedicated itself to the filtration industry — quietly, persistently, and with an obsession for standards. Beneath our products lies a deeper foundation: a set of internal disciplines that binds the whole organization together. The Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention, the Ten Dos and Ten Don'ts Code of Conduct, and the Organizational Red Lines are not slogans hung on walls. They are the invisible gravitational force that keeps our organization running steadily, freeing our team from the whims of personal rule and anchoring us firmly on the path of governing by institutions and by law.
In a world where many companies rise and fall with the mood of a single leader, LEFILTER chooses a different path. We believe that only when rules are written, respected and enforced — equally for everyone — can the enterprise outlive its founders, its market cycles, and its seasons of change.
The Milestone of 818
On August 18, 2016, LEFILTER rang the bell at the Beijing Stock Exchange — a milestone carved deep in our journey. The listing number, 837936, carries a subtle and delightful design: 8+3+7=18, and 9+3+6=18. Two "18s" woven into one code, bearing our aspiration for rapid progress and flourishing growth.
This moment was more than a financial event. It was the key that unlocked a traditional enterprise's leap into the capital market. It was an honor bestowed upon every partner who had contributed to the journey. And above all, it was a living proof of our commitment to the strivers — the tangible form through which our organization honors those who give, so that hard work is rewarded, so that the ideals of material and time freedom become reachable, and so that the shining moments of struggle can be witnessed by all.
The Journey of Heritage
Our thirteenth annual Heritage Culture Journey is a spiritual expedition that crosses mountains and rivers. Over 3,200 kilometers of wind and rain, through eight immersive days of cultural immersion, the seeds of culture were planted deep in the heart of every LEFILTER member.
The journey began in Pingyao, where centuries of merchant discipline taught us the weight of integrity and business ethics. It carried us to the vast grasslands, where openness and magnanimity reminded us how large a vision must be. It brought us to Yan'an, where an unwavering original aspiration and mission — forged in the hardest years — showed us what commitment truly means. And it ended in Chang'an, where the majestic pattern of a great dynasty revealed the breadth of ambition we must hold.
Each stop was not merely a sight. Each was a mirror — reflecting back to our team a truth about how to build, how to lead, and how to last. The culture of LEFILTER did not come from a handbook. It was walked into being, kilometer by kilometer, year by year.
Proof in Practice
Culture, for us, is never abstract. It must prove itself in results. The Shangqiu Cracking Team, code-named "Fire-Blue Blade," has done exactly that. Anchored to a clear objective, maintaining sharp insight, upholding the mechanism's bottom line, and activating each member's initiative, the team broke through the boundary of growth — completing a leap from linear expansion to exponential ascent.
Their achievement is a living answer to a question many companies ask: Can discipline and creativity coexist? At LEFILTER, we have seen the answer with our own eyes. Discipline provides the rails; initiative provides the engine. Only when both work together can an organization accelerate without losing direction.
Unite as One
The blade returns to its sheath, but the flame in the heart never fades. The culture journey has drawn to a graceful close, yet the march of LEFILTER never stops. Roots grow deeper downward; steps press forward; the original aspiration remains unshaken.
One group of people. One cause. One heart. One lifetime. One shared effort. Together, we keep moving toward the ideals of material freedom, time freedom and spiritual freedom — not as a slogan, but as the very substance of our days.
Our Creed
LEFILTER holds fast to its organizational creed: to stand for the livelihood of all people; to tolerate no arrogance born of rank, and to deny no one because of poverty; to allow no unearned accusation and no imposed guilt; to honor the law as one would wield a sword, to break through confusion and deceit, and to seek nothing from false gods.
We uphold our values: to live with truth as our guide, to know propriety and hold benevolence in our hearts; to judge neither by wealth nor by power; to sympathize with the weak and to resent injustice; to keep our resolve firm in times of danger, and to examine ourselves when no one is watching.
We carry a grand vision: that all who live may have the right to live, the right to be free, and the right to be happy; that one day, all people may be equal, without distinctions of high or low; that we protect life, pursue light, and honor the truth that all are born equal — and that each person may rise like a dragon.
Our Vision
"Make our influence felt across the global industry, expand our footprint to every corner of the world, and use our products to help all people live better lives." This is the unchanging vision of LEFILTER.
To reach high with outstanding skill. To ascend to the loftiest heights. To follow the timeless order of history. And to hold fast to the will to strive, true to our hearts. This is the heritage carried forward by every member of LEFILTER.
