Recently, INTCO Medical was shortlisted for the 2024 Pingyao International Photography Exhibition with two photographs full of the spirit of struggle. This world-class photography event brings together top photographers and artworks from all over the world. INTCO Medical‘s works in the exhibition not only showcase the company’s unique culture of strugglers, but also sings a song of praises for strugglers in ordinary positions.

After 24 years of development, the Pingyao International Photography Exhibition has become one of the most influential exhibitions in the international photography community. Every year, outstanding photographers from all over the world gather here to exhibit their representative works, covering a variety of themes such as documentary, humanities, and landscapes. The exhibition not only provides a stage for photographic artists to show themselves, but also an important platform for the collision and integration of photographic works with social topics and cultural values.

The two works exhibited by INTCO Medical are both from within the company. Through the lens, they capture and freeze the shining moments in the daily work and life of INTCO staff, and convey the profound connotation of “struggler culture” to the outside world.

“Blooming” is a warm scene when the company gave roses to female staff who were struggling on the front line of production on the occasion of Women’s Day. The female colleagues in the photo hold roses in their hands and smile brightly, which makes them look particularly gentle in the workshop where the machinery roars. Roses symbolize their tenacity and enthusiasm. This work not only shows their beauty and confidence, but also praises the important contribution of every woman in the workplace.

Another work “INTCO of Strugglers” is  the freeze-frame of wheelchair welding workshop, where a welder is concentrating on his work. Between the steel bars and iron pipes, his figure looks particularly resolute and focused. This work silently tells the dedication of INTCO staff to keep improving at their jobs, and the ordinary and great labor scene is awe-inspiring.

INTCO Medical has always advocated the “struggler culture”. The company firmly believes that every employee who works hard in his or her position, no matter how big or small, is the cornerstone of the company’s success. Whether it is a welder in the workshop or a female employee on the production line, every drop of their sweat and every effort is an indispensable force for the development of the company.

This culture is deeply rooted in the daily life of every INTCO person. The company encourages employees to constantly pursue excellence in their positions and strive to improve themselves, while also paying attention to their working environment and personal development. “Blooming” and “INTCO of Strugglers” are the visual expressions of this culture, reflecting INTCO Medical’s care and respect for employees, as well as respect for every ordinary struggler.

This shortlisted Pingyao International Photography Exhibition is not only an affirmation of INTCO medical’s photography works, but also a wide dissemination of INTCO’s struggler culture. As photography itself conveys, INTCO Medical tells their struggle stories through the language of the lens-everyone in an ordinary position deserves to be recorded and praised.
