The co-produced artwork, a fruit of the cultural exchange between China and Ecuador, symbolizes the longstanding friendship between the two nations and the confidence in their future relations.

Featured in the right part of the painting is the Virgin Mary treading on two serpents, a classic motif in western painting symbolizing the eternal triumph of good over evil.

In the left part of the painting is the Anji Bridge in the Chinese ink painting style. As China's oldest standing bridge dating back to the Sui Dynasty (581-618), it stands for the firm and longstanding friendship between China and Ecuador, which established diplomatic relations with China in 1980 and joined the Belt and Road Initiative in December 2018.
