The ancient water towns of Jiangnan are renowned worldwide, and three things among them are peerless: exquisite elegant rooms, small bridges over flowing water, and lush flowers and vegetation.

June 20 is precisely the season of misty rain in Jiangnan, when floral fragrance fills the air. In the Juhui Hall on the first floor of the Shuxiang Shijia Hotel in Dangkou Ancient Town, Wuxi, though only about forty square meters, the refinement of a Jiangnan elegant room was on full display. In the antique-style redwood architecture, under the soft pale-yellow glow of traditional Chinese chandeliers, with several freehand ink paintings of lotus flowers on the walls, more than twenty construction machinery experts gathered around the conference table for the expert review meeting on the association standard "Crawler Hydraulic Vibratory Pile Driver," guided by the China Construction Machinery Association, hosted by the Standardization Working Committee of the China Construction Machinery Association and the Pile Machinery Branch of the China Construction Machinery Association, and organized by Jiangsu Anteng Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.

The convening of the meeting brought together a gathering of talents, adding luster to the elegant room. The room brought together Song Jinyun, Director of the Standards and Regulations Department of the Standardization Working Committee of the China Construction Machinery Association; Guo Chuanxin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Pile Machinery Branch of the China Construction Machinery Association; Zhang Huaiting, expert of the Standardization Expert Committee of the China Construction Machinery Association; Yu Haoshan, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Institute of Exploration Techniques of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences; Liu Shuang, Secretary-General of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Construction Machinery and Equipment; and others—all leading experts in the industry.

On a sunny day, sunlight would pour straight into the room, yet a Jiangnan elegant room cannot fully convey refinement; only accompanied by misty rain can it be called peerless.

At this moment there was rain, and outside the window the drizzle fell like threads. After the meeting began, the construction machinery experts indoors expressed their views on this review meeting, concise and to the point, refined and succinct. Song Jinyun, Director of the Standards and Regulations Department of the Standardization Working Committee of the China Construction Machinery Association, described the basic situation of hydraulic pile drivers. Guo Chuanxin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Pile Machinery Branch of the China Construction Machinery Association, spoke about the gap between domestic and international levels, and Zhou Hua, General Manager of Jiangsu Anteng, spoke of his company's need to catch up and strive forward within the industry's general trend. They all mentioned at the same time that the market situation for hydraulic vibratory hammers and the establishment of an association standard were imperative.

The elegant room was filled with applause, which carried outside and echoed over the small bridges and flowing water.

The meeting proceeded compactly toward the next step, and the participants unanimously recommended Guo Chuanxin as head of the expert group and to preside over the review work. Secretary-General Guo repeatedly emphasized that the review work must be specific and strict in order to purify the market and play a role in it. The standard-leading unit, Shandong Lingong, reported to the participants on the specific circumstances of standard formulation and conducted the standard review, demonstrating the leading role of a bellwether in technology and the market. The head of the expert group and the leading unit were like the small bridges and flowing water—solid and communicative—serving to structure and connect this meeting and indeed the hydraulic vibratory pile driver industry.

Exquisite elegant rooms and small bridges over flowing water are important, but the embellishment of lush flowers and vegetation is indispensable.

In the final part of this review meeting, expert questioning and answering were conducted, and the entire process passed amid laughter and joy. The experts answered a large number of questions about the market and technology of hydraulic vibratory pile drivers and the construction machinery industry, so that everyone present gained something. Each expressed their views, and every question was answered—like lush flowers and various plants, though different in appearance, complementing one another in temperament through their integration.

A meeting is like admiring an ancient Jiangnan water town: peaceful, steady, and thriving.

At four in the afternoon, before anyone felt the passage of time, the meeting ended imperceptibly. Everyone was still reluctant to part and thanked the organizer, Jiangsu Anteng Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., for combining the refinement of Jiangnan's misty rain with a steel-tempered construction machinery review meeting—one hard and one soft—allowing an appreciation of two different kinds of beauty. Without the misty rain of Jiangnan, one would not have this feeling.

After the praise, the participants posed for a group photo to capture this unforgettable moment—an elegant gathering in the ancient town, jointly celebrating the successful and complete conclusion of the meeting.
