To the right of the mascot is a block of orange text in Chinese that reads, “We must strengthen the struggle against separatism under the new circumstances and uphold the banner of great unity among all ethnic groups.” This is surrounded by bright green foliage with red flowers that extends all the way to the left of the piece. It is taken up primarily by cartoon stickers and text that reads, “That’s Great~,” in Chinese. Below the drawing, in pencil, are two more Air Index ratings that read “76 Baidu,” and “108 Light Polluted”.
