The artworks are displayed in the photo frames on the cover and throughout the annual report for readers and investors' appreciation. Classical mirrors appearing throughout the annual report not only clearly reflect the financial results of NWCL, but also create an artistic mood for the annual report in addition to enhancing its transparency in announcing its financial results.
