海内外所有神墨同仁：
Dear Shenmo colleagues:
大家好！
Greetings to you all!
今天是神墨创办25周年纪念日。在这个特别的日子里，我们首先要共同感恩，向对神墨发展给予关心指导的专家顾问及各界人士，向一直信任支持我们的海内外学员家长致以诚挚感谢！不管岁月如何变迁，我们的心都会因教育而紧紧凝聚，爱的光芒将永远照亮我们携手前行之路。
Today is the 25th anniversary of Shenmo. On this special day, we would like to express our gratitude to the experts, advisors and people from all walks of life who have shown their concern and guidance to the development of Shenmo, and to the parents of students from home and abroad who have placed their trust and confidence in us. As we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded that no matter how time flies, our hearts remain united by education, and the light of love will forever illuminate the path we journey together.
去年周年庆中，我们一起回顾了24年来神墨人风雨同行，共同走过的“创展理引领觉”发展之路，总结了我们共创共享的丰硕成果。雄关漫道真如铁，而今迈步从头越。2023年是神墨3.0的开局之年，是神墨高质量发展元年，是神墨新一轮“创展理引领觉”发展征程的开启。
Last year, during our anniversary celebration, we looked back on the 24 years of Shenmo’s history of “startup, development, standardization, guidance, leading and self-consciousness” and celebrated the fruitful results we have achieved together. As we enter the opening year of Shenmo 3.0 era in 2023, we embark on a new journey of high-quality development and growth with renewed determination.
过去半年来，国际形势和外在环境依然充满挑战，但我们以“创”的心态和状态，锐意进取，忙碌充实。近期相关分享中，我多次向大家提及《孙子兵法》的开篇语——“兵者，国之大事，死生之地，存亡之道，不可不察也。”对神墨发展而言，战略定位是如“兵者”般之“大事”，只有从战略层面看发展，才能“不畏浮云遮眼望”。虽然面临各种外部不确定性，但未来十二年神墨3.0的差异化发展定位和系统性战略规划无比清晰。
Over the past half-year, while facing external challenges and uncertainties, we have moved forward with an unwavering startup mentality. I often refer to the opening words of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” - “The art of war is of vital importance to the state. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.” For Shenmo Development, strategic positioning is just as important as the art of war. Only by looking at development from a strategic level can we surpass obstacles and uncertainties. With our differentiated development positioning and systematic strategic planning, Shenmo has a clear direction for the next twelve years.
3.0时代，神墨将聚焦心智教育，以助人进步之心解决相关社会痛点，以文化沉淀和教育理念凸显品牌定位的差异化与品质化。心智教育，是合乎教育本质，是回归教育原点，是培根铸魂，是启智润心，是为“去教育功利化”而努力，是神墨人矢志不渝的教育理想。
In the 3.0 era, Shenmo will focus on mental education, solving social pain points and empowering individuals to progress. We will highlight the differentiation and quality of our brand positioning through cultural precipitation and educational philosophy. Mental education aligns with the essence of education, returning to education’s original purpose. It nurtures the soul through enlightenment, bringing out the best in individuals. It’s s an effort to reverse the utilitarian trend in education and a steadfast ideal for Shenmo people committed to their profession.
3.0时代，神墨亮星公益计划将“助亿万家庭启智润心”，通过开展各类家长智慧沙龙给每一个城市带来一片光明，助力家长与孩子一起生命绽放。借由家长沙龙，神墨将与越来越多的家长建立深层链接，爱与心智教育将让越来越多的家长成为神墨的忠实“粉丝”。
In the 3.0 era, Shenmo Bright Star Public Welfare Program will help hundreds of millions of families to enlighten their mind and help parents and children to bloom together through various parental wisdom salons. With these salons, we can establish deeper links with more parents, earning their trust and loyalty.
3.0时代，神墨品牌内涵将不断彰显，神墨品牌影响力将持续增强。在规范化和高质量发展前提下，至信、至爱、至尊是我们的品牌理想。神墨人将以自身的正直、智慧、活力成就富有内涵的心智教育“强势品牌”，不断赢得家长和社会更多的信任、喜爱与尊敬。
In the 3.0 era, Shenmo’s brand connotation will continue to manifest and the brand influence will continue to strengthen. Trust, love and respect are our brand ideals. Under the premise of standardization and high-quality development, Shenmo people will achieve a strong brand of mental education with integrity, wisdom and vitality, and win more trust, love and respect from parents and society.
3.0时代，神墨将结合双远景发展目标，开启新发展，实现新跨越——2030年神墨精英学校将实现1%高质量发展目标，2035年所有国内神墨学校将高品质完成1%计划。同时，千镇千校计划、十家连心计划作为核心战略举措，将全力助推各级神墨学校稳健发展。
In the 3.0 era, Shenmo will combine its two long-range objectives to start new development and achieve new leaps. By 2030, Shenmo elite schools will achieve the goal of 1% high-quality development, and by 2035, all domestic Shenmo schools will complete the 1% high-quality development plan. At the same time, the “Thousand Schools in Thousand Towns” Plan and the “Collective Schools Development” Plan, as core strategic initiatives, will contribute to the steady development of Shenmo schools at all levels.
3.0时代，神墨国际化发展迈入新阶段，与“华语时代”及大学院校等单位的深度合作开启珠心算教育海外推广新篇章。结合来华留学生对外文化贸易人才选拔赛等重要活动，神墨TOT战略将汇聚更多全球留学生回国创业，“星光耀五洲”的神墨愿景正逐步成为现实。
In the 3.0 era, Shenmo has entered a new stage of international development, opening a new chapter of overseas promotion of mental abacus math education through in-depth cooperation with “Beijing Huayu Time” and universities and colleges. Combined with important events such as “Foreign Cultural Trade” Talent Selection Competition for International Students in China, Shenmo TOT strategy will bring more international students back to their home countries to start their own business, fulfilling Shenmo’s vision of shining around the globe.
3.0时代，伴随神墨“三圆”课程推出，涵盖不同年龄阶段的“全人教育”课程体系将进行系统构建，围绕心智教育和中华文化弘扬发展，正墨、清墨、和墨、神墨书院等品牌陆续创立，沿着集团化发展方向，神墨的社会影响力和社会责任担当正持续增强。
In the 3.0 era, with the launch of Shenmo’s “Three-Part Harmony” Course, we will systematically build the all-age education curriculum covering different age groups. As we develop mental education and promote Chinese culture, brands such as Zhengmo, Qingmo, Hemo, and Shenmo Academy will be established one after another. Aligning with group development, Shenmo’s social influence and responsibility will continue to enhance.
3.0时代，神墨人成长路径更加清晰，从立足生活到立足生命，从精神愉悦到心灵安顿，生命成功计划、太阳计划、女性“三圆”等心智升维课程将引领神墨人“愿生使命，明心见性”。成为心智教育专家，成就三圆幸福人生，是神墨人共同的成长方向和人生追求。
In the 3.0 era, the growth path of Shenmo people has become clearer, moving from living to life, from pleasing the spirit to settling the mind. The “Life Success Plan”, the “Sun Plan” and the “Three-Part Harmony” course for females will lead Shenmo people to discover their true hearts and see their original true nature. It is our common growth direction and life pursuit to become experts in mental education, achieving balanced development in our career, family, and self-growth.
古人云，“以利相交，利尽则散；以势相交，势败则倾；以情相交，情断则伤；唯以心相交，方能成其久远”。教育事业是志同道合者的以心相交，以心相交，才能健康长久发展。3.0时代，不仅是神墨人的以心相交，也是我们与所有家长以心相交的新时代。
As a Chinese proverb goes, “Only friendships built on sincerity can last long.” The same is true for education. Only when we treat each other sincerely can the cause of education develop healthily and sustainably. In the 3.0 era, we will not only continue the heart-to-heart fellowship within the Shenmo family but also open a new era of heart-to-heart fellowship between Shenmo and all parents.
从心出发，行稳致远。成己育人，自利利他。让我们携手奋进，合道而行，共创美好未来！
To journey far and steady, listen to your heart with ready. Let’s join hands and forge ahead, following the path of righteousness, and create a bright and beautiful future together.
