All the people

Will look towards the distant sky

As if looking into each other's eyes

So every inch of land we are on

Have a common name

That is our hometown

To remember these thoughts

The Planetary Research Institute and Yili

In the form of a poster

Showing the unique hometown scenery of China

The colors of these landscapes

All are named using Chinese names

(Picking water chestnuts in Suzhou, Jiangsu, photographer @丁嘉一)

It is the green pastures of the prairie

It is the rippling river

It is the strong and galloping calf red

It is also pure milky white.

Chinese traditional colors

It is the inexhaustible wisdom of the ancients

It is also the beautiful mountains and rivers that we truly love.

It is Yili's persistence and protection of quality ranches

It is also the brand’s love and inheritance of traditional culture.

They depict mountains, rivers and all things

The legacy has remained unchanged for thousands of years

▼

The colors of my hometown are countless

The color in your heart

The most beautiful color

We miss you in the autumn wind

We miss you in the night rain
