The great and glorious Communist Party of China over the past hundred years has shone like a red sun, illuminating the land of China. The people of all ethnic groups are united at the foot of the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, singing and dancing, dragon and lion dances, firecrackers firing in unison, and flowers are everywhere. The dove of peace with an olive branch flew over Tiananmen Square to the whole world, spreading the lofty concept of peaceful coexistence, harmonious coexistence and common development between China and the people of all ethnic groups in the world. Under the national emblem, "Long Live the Motherland" on the big red lantern clearly shows the theme of the work at a glance. The pattern of the great agricultural harvest and the sunflowers facing the sun represents the people of the whole country not forgetting their original intentions, keeping in mind their mission, and always having their hearts set on the Communist Party.
