Starting 2019 Anew With a Brand New Design

We know very well that everyone should start the new year with fresh air, and that’s exactly what Xin Hua’s creators wanted to do when announcing a new Design Contest for her back in December 2018. Now they selected several designs as finalists, however the ones that will have the last word on the winner will be the fans.
