He has accumulated 17 years of experience in the drilling tools industry at North Star. Over these 17 years, Liu Aijun has maintained a diligent work ethic and consistently learned from his colleagues. He shares his mindset: \u201cYou need to stay grounded, be practical, and be proactive in learning from others. Don\u2019t hold back.

The modification has cut operational costs and boosted production efficiency. He remarks, \u201cYou have to pay close attention to your work.

What has kept him devoted to the company for nearly his entire career, witnessing milestones such as his child\u2019s transition from the first to the eighteenth birthday alongside the company\u2019s growth? He explains: \u201cMore than a decade ago, we worked at the old factory site. The plant was small and our team was lean, but we pulled together through everything. Once the restroom became clogged, and everyone was busy with production work. Our boss stepped in to fix it himself. Everyone present gained immense respect for him. Chairman Wang never put on the airs of a superior. He rolled up his sleeves and laboured side by side with us, and that\u2019s how North Star grew into what it is today.\u201d Liu Aijun believes North Star fosters a unique culture and spirit, one that builds a strong family-like bond and a powerful sense of solidarity among the workforce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6164\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6164\" src=\"https:\/\/northstardrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Employee-Story-Liu-Aijun-1.webp\" alt=\"Life of Liu Aijun\" width=\"600\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northstardrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Employee-Story-Liu-Aijun-1.webp 647w, https:\/\/northstardrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Employee-Story-Liu-Aijun-1-300x268.webp 300w, https:\/\/northstardrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Employee-Story-Liu-Aijun-1-13x12.webp 13w, https:\/\/northstardrill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Employee-Story-Liu-Aijun-1-600x537.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Life of Liu Aijun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>North Star is home to many more hardworking, committed employees like Liu Aijun.
