Wang Suizhi, 70, is the chief designer of the floral arrangement in this year and said that the design was finalized after several rounds of rejection and redesign. Each flower in the basket has a special meaning. Carnations, which have been used for the first time this year, express sincere blessings for the country, according to Beijing News. /VCG Photo
