Community First! SLKOR Offers Free Umbrellas in a Rainy Huaqiangbei — Because We Share the Same Sky

Caught in the relentless downpour brought by Typhoon Butterfly, Shenzhen has been drenched in days of heavy rain, leaving many residents struggling without umbrellas as they commuted to work or ran errands. On June 17th, the SLKOR team proudly continued its heartwarming tradition — the third annual "Umbrella Giveaway at Huaqiangbei" — returning to the bustling streets of Huaqiangbei to offer free red umbrellas to those caught in the storm.

For this public welfare initiative, SLKOR General Manager Song Shiqiang personally prepared 300 red umbrellas, providing shelter for passersby braving the typhoon. Song remarked:

"SLKOR and Kinghelm both trace their roots to Huaqiangbei and have experienced exciting growth in recent years. While we remain dedicated to advancing semiconductor technologies and RF connectivity solutions, we believe it’s equally important to give back to the community that nurtured us. Through these small but meaningful acts of kindness, we aim to foster warmth and solidarity in our city.”

A reminder that behind every fast-paced tech hub, it’s people — and simple human gestures — that keep a city moving.

SLKOR Red on Huaqiangbei Streets in the Rain

 

Despite the relentless downpour brought by Typhoon Butterfly, the SLKOR team showed that compassion never takes a day off. Clad in bright red uniforms, SLKOR staff took to the streets of Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei electronics market, moving through the rain to personally hand out umbrellas to those in need.

From security guards and street vendors to delivery drivers, sanitation workers, merchants hauling goods, passersby, and even international visitors — everyone, no matter their role or background, received a moment of kindness amid the storm. This simple gesture not only offered shelter from the rain but also delivered a message of warmth, unity, and community spirit from SLKOR to the people of Huaqiangbei.

Beyond offering umbrellas on the streets during the storm, SLKOR also prioritizes the everyday needs of its customers. Both of SLKOR’s Huaqiangbei retail stores are stocked with complimentary umbrellas, readily available for customers to use whenever needed — a small but thoughtful gesture that reflects the company’s people-first philosophy.

Public welfare is a vital part of corporate responsibility — and it doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful. Sometimes, a simple umbrella in a sudden downpour, a helping hand, or a sincere smile is enough to brighten someone’s day and show genuine care.

At SLKOR, we believe that while we focus on advancing our technology, refining our products, and growing the global presence of the "SLKOR" brand (www.slkormicro.com), we also have a duty to give back to the communities that support us. Moving forward, SLKOR will continue to embrace its social responsibility through practical, heartfelt actions — offering both cutting-edge semiconductor solutions and everyday warmth to the world around us.
