In the blazing heat of July, when cooling off and shedding irritability is most needed, there is no better season for eating watermelon. At this perfect moment, on the morning of July 26, 2019, a grand “Watermelon King Showdown” was held on the first floor of the company cafeteria.

The competition was divided into two rounds. To ensure fairness, male and female participants drew lots to form separate groups, comprising a total of six groups. Each contestant in a group was given three slices of watermelon, and the first person to finish eating without leaving obvious pulp would be the group winner. The winner of each group in the first round advanced to the second-round final, from which the first-place winners for the men’s division and women’s division were ultimately determined. As the host gave the starting signal, all contestants let loose their “foodie” instincts, displaying an array of hilarious eating styles—both awkward and adorable—that filled the venue with laughter and excitement. The eaters had a blast, and the onlookers were thoroughly entertained, in a spectacle full of highlights and delightful moments. Among the big-eater legion, there was no shortage of lively and attractive young men and women; the creative watermelon-eating contest took watermelon consumption to a whole new level, measuring not just competitive skill but, more importantly, pure fun. In the end, the awards for Watermelon King and Watermelon Queen were presented, adding a splash of color to this sweltering summer day.

Through this contest, we witnessed everyone’s enthusiasm and earnestness for the activity, and it also brought hearty laughter and joy to everyone outside of work.
