In March, as spring blossoms in full glory, we once again celebrate the momentous International Women’s Day.

Nanjing Zijin Hospital, through a series of carefully planned events, extended its deepest respect and warmest wishes to all female employees, jointly celebrating the arrival of the 115th International Women’s Day.

Part 1: Selection and Commendation of the Most Beautiful Women Pioneers

As the spring breeze gently caressed the air, the fourth “Most Beautiful Women Warriors” selection and awards ceremony of Nanjing Zijin Hospital was successfully held on March 7 at the Jiangning Campus.

At the conference, Dean Ge Jiangping delivered a heartfelt address, emphasizing that women account for more than 70 percent of the hospital’s workforce. From the bustling clinical front lines to the quiet, dedicated administrative and logistical support roles, every position is graced by the diligent and resolute presence of our female colleagues. They are steadfast guardians of the healthcare frontline and the backbone driving the hospital’s development, each shining with her own unique light and illuminating every corner of the institution.

This recognition not only acknowledges individual contributions but also serves as a profound tribute to the hard work and dedication of all female employees.

Part 2: A Date with Roses, Unveiling a Spectrum of Charm

On International Women’s Day, March 8, the hospital presented each female colleague with a rose. The pure white, the elegant champagne, the gentle pink, the passionate magenta, the fresh pale blue—each hue reflected the unique charm of every woman, whether she is gentle and graceful, resilient, wise, or full of passion. We pay tribute to the distinctive allure and intrinsic value of every woman.

Part 3: Skincare—Start by Making Your Own Herbal Cream

Work diligently, but also savor the good things in life. On this Women’s Day, the hospital organized a special workshop on making plant‑extract face cream and invited a professional aromatherapist to share skincare expertise. The venue was lined with all the ingredients and tools needed for crafting the cream. After the instructor thoroughly explained the principles and steps of cream‑making, participants rolled up their sleeves, got hands‑on, and worked collaboratively.

Watching the raw materials, once liquid, gradually transform into a yogurt‑like cream, everyone was delighted and felt a strong sense of accomplishment. Amid the gentle fragrance of natural botanicals and in a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere, participants not only gained valuable skincare knowledge but also savored the joy of hands‑on creation.

Part 4: Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary—DIY Twisting Flowers

Bright, vibrant colors, soft plush material, and flexible pliability that lets them bend any way you like—this is pipe cleaner. In the nimble hands of women everywhere, they blossom into an array of exquisite flowers: tulips, poppies, lilies, sunflowers… truly beautiful!

We have also invited Aunt Zhang, a master of paper‑twisting flowers at our hospital, to serve as the technical advisor for this event. Aunt Zhang is a family member of one of our patients; during her son’s hospital stay, whenever she had a moment, she would lose herself in this handmade art, presenting beautifully woven bouquets to the nurses’ station, the rehabilitation hall, and the patient‑guidance desk. In this way, spring has been welcomed into the hospital, transforming it into a series of warm, picturesque scenes.

Part 5: Jiuyitang Wellness Program

Warm moxa wool gently spreads along the spine, its penetrating heat awakening the Governing Vessel and promoting the smooth flow of qi and blood throughout the body, banishing cold and fatigue one by one. Meanwhile, nourishing essential oils are paired with gentle facial massage techniques—starting with a soothing stretch across the forehead and moving to deep relaxation around the eyes—leaving both skin and spirit feeling refreshed and at ease. Amid the demands of a busy workday, women too deserve to listen to their bodies and take good care of their health.

In their daily lives, women often shoulder invisible domestic labor, experience more nuanced and profound emotions, and face numerous sources of stress. On this Women’s Day, female hospital staff can also enjoy a variety of traditional Chinese medicine therapies at the Jiuyitang TCM Outpatient Department, treating themselves to a soothing experience that nourishes qi and blood while relaxing both body and mind.

Although the March events are gradually drawing to a close,
But the hospital’s care and respect for women do not stop there.
Once again, I extend my sincerest wishes to all women.
May you celebrate not only in March, but also on Women’s Day.
Still, every single day of life
Each can shine with its own unique brilliance.
Unbound, undefined
It is the spring breeze, the morning glow.
It is mountains and rivers…
As long as you maintain the courage to explore,
Then you can become the protagonist of your own story;
