On August 21, 2026, the Chairman of Henan Gaoshan Valves Co., Ltd. — who also serves as Party Secretary of Gaoshan Village — hosted a scholarship award ceremony at the company for local students who were admitted to full-time undergraduate programs this year. A total of RMB 46,000 (approx. USD 6,400) in scholarships was distributed, and the students were given a guided tour of the company’s exhibition hall and production facilities, tracing the company’s development since its founding in 1975.
Ceremony Highlights: Rewarding Excellence, Revitalizing the Hometown
The ceremony, titled “Gaoshan Village Undergraduate Scholarship Award Ceremony,” was held in the company’s meeting room, with a red banner reading “Gaoshan Village Annual Scholarship Program — Revitalizing Our Hometown” displayed at the entrance. Village elders, parents, and this year’s newly admitted university students attended the event together.
Eight students received scholarships this year — six students each received RMB 5,000, and two students each received RMB 8,000. The Village Party Secretary personally presented each award certificate and encouraged the students to make the most of their college years, pursue academic excellence, and one day give back to their hometown.
Touring Gaoshan Valves: Learning the Company’s History
Following the award ceremony, the students were led on a guided tour of Gaoshan Valves’ exhibition hall and manufacturing workshop. The exhibition hall documents the company’s full development timeline — from its founding in 1975 and the registration of the “Gaoshan” trademark in 1979, through decades of technical innovation and industry honors, including breakthroughs in thermodynamic disc-type steam traps, national quality certifications, and its expansion into international markets.
Students listened closely to the introduction and examined cutaway models of valve internals up close, gaining a firsthand understanding of how a hometown enterprise has grown steadily through decades of industrial commitment.
