Indonesia, a country often cloaked in mystery, holds countless surprises that defy imagination. Before arriving, one might sketch a hazy outline from scattered, one-sided reports; once here, the eyes are met everywhere by inclusive tolerance and warmth that rushes forward. Living here longer, one comes to understand the locals’ innate ease and hearty cheerfulness, as radiant as the equatorial sun.

In this atmosphere, the Beijing DaTongLongYuan Indonesia Office staged a five-day fun sports meet. A dazzling array of events and prizes kept eyes busy. Upholding the principle of “friendship first, competition second,” on the badminton court the Indonesian colleagues’ professional flair was a pleasant surprise. In table tennis, friends from sponsor BNI Bank clinched the singles crown, while in the doubles showdown the prowess of the national sport shone—ultimately we took the title.

The brightest highlight of the games was the football friendly between DaTongLongYuan and PLN SC, the spare-parts procurement center of Indonesia’s state power company. On the pitch both sides fought with all they had; attack and defense displayed the full charm of sport. Players battled hard on the field, while applause from the stands never ceased. PLN SC ultimately claimed victory with a brilliant performance, yet the score was quickly forgotten as everyone slung arms over shoulders for photos—sweat and smiles frozen in the liveliest of frames.

This match is a snapshot of the partners’ years-long friendship. In 2024 DaTongLongYuan and PLN SC signed a long-term cooperation agreement on anti-plugging equipment spare parts and services, moving from joint technical battles in power-plant projects to seamless daily coordination. The tacit exchanges on the pitch mirror the wordless understanding at work, born of countless days and nights fighting side by side. This event used sport as a bridge to add warmth to the long-standing partnership. Going forward, DaTongLongYuan and PLN SC will carry this rapport onto the energy-cooperation track, sprinting shoulder to shoulder and together carving still more chapters of mutual benefit and win-win success.
