CPIC 2026 | "Lu Lu" Debuts: The Spirit of the Eastern Unicorn, Empowering Innovation

Jun 19,2026

The first "Great Nation New Drug" Global Conference (CPIC 2026) will be grandly held from July 22nd to 24th at the Golden Hall of the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai). This industry event, which is benchmarked against the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in the United States, announced to the world that Chinese new drugs have taken center stage on the global stage with over 60 special sessions, more than 300 topics, and more than 20000 attendees.


On the eve of the opening of the conference, a unicorn from the East that has traveled three thousand years - "Lu Lu" - has arrived first. This conference spirit totem, carefully crafted by the cultural strategic cooperation agency Longxin DRAGON HEART design team after multiple rounds of refinement, integrates the wind bone of the national treasure bronze unicorn, the divinity of the Sanxingdui vertical eye mask, and the auspiciousness of the Han Dynasty golden toad, injecting a unique Eastern cultural blessing into CPIC 2026.

Origin of Creation
 

It is not by chance that the DRAGONEART team, a cultural strategic partner, was invited to create a mascot for the conference. Tong Xieyi deeply understands that a truly internationally influential conference requires not only the depth of topics and the weight of guests, but also the depth of spirit and the radiance of culture. Longxin focuses on injecting spiritual power into business and culture through Eastern "soul aesthetics".


From the initial concept collision to countless rounds of repeated deliberation, the Longxin design team has always had a deep intention - the true totem is not designed, but "grown", extracted from the depths of time and cultural roots. This intention is ultimately condensed in the triple blessing of "Lu Lu", with one core. Longxin's injection of this auspicious message into CPIC 2026 is a deep blessing to the organizers and the entire industry.

 

 

 

Triple Meaning: Blessings Emerging from Millennium Cultural Relics
 

First priority: humble character


Dragon Heart did not choose the arrogant posture of the western unicorn, but took the Han Dynasty copper unicorn (the mythical beast "Xie Zhi"), the national treasure of Gansu Provincial Museum, as the prototype. That bronze vessel has a low bow and neck, with a graceful and humble posture, presenting a "light but not dazzling" temperament. In 2025, the total amount of BD transactions for innovative drugs in China will reach 135.7 billion US dollars, and in the first quarter of 2026, it has exceeded 60 billion US dollars. In the face of such a historic leap, the drooping head and neck of "Lu Lu" is a gentle reminder: true strength lies in sticking inward.
 


 

Second: Vertical Pattern
 

The long hooked shape of "Lu Lu" is taken from the Sanxingdui vertical eye mask. The ancient Shu treasure from three thousand years ago has a vision of ten thousand miles, and Longxin has transformed it into an action - "hooked". Linking spiritual energy, blessings, and wealth from a higher dimension to the earth, building a bridge between heaven, earth, and man. The implication is that China's innovative pharmaceutical industry will transform the suspended research and development insights and innovative inspirations into tangible therapies and new drugs.
 

 

Third: The Vitality of Golden Toad
 

The body of 'Lu Lu' also incorporates inspiration from the Han Dynasty golden toad. In Chinese culture, the Golden Toad is believed to ward off evil, promote longevity, and uphold wealth and prosperity. From the ancient Greek symbol of the medical spirit snake to the Eastern spirit toad, humanity's hope for healing and longevity has never changed. Longxin wishes this: May the research and development of new drugs in the great country benefit the world, and may every industry fighter hide their strength, accumulate strength, and wait for the boiling vitality.
 

 

Independence Awareness - Spiritual Core
 

Beyond the profound meaning of the triple culture, the unicorn of "Lu Lu" also carries a more direct layer of blessings. In the biopharmaceutical industry, "unicorns" specifically refer to innovative companies with valuations exceeding $1 billion, which is the dream and glory of every entrepreneur. The unicorn on the top of the "Lu Lu" represents a deep wish to Tong Xieyi and all biopharmaceutical entrepreneurs - that every industry colleague can achieve their own "unicorn" moment on the path of innovation. Culture and business converge at this corner: it is both a awakening of inner awareness and an expectation of industrial value.


And above all concrete symbols, the dragon heart buries the most core spiritual core - independent consciousness. That unicorn is not an external decoration, but a symbol of awareness. When a person or industry has inner awareness, it can generate unlimited innovation power. Longxin hopes to convey this "independent awareness" to every participant of the conference through "Lu Lu" - wishing that every fellow practitioner who shares the same aspiration can awaken their inner innovative power and bring true new drug value to the world with Chinese wisdom.

 

 

When the triple meaning, unicorn blessing, and independent awareness are integrated, "Lu Lu" brings CPIC 2026 a heartfelt blessing that spans three thousand years. Wishing the conference a complete success, and also wishing for the determination, pattern, and vitality of Chinese innovative drugs in the journey of globalization.


At the Golden Hall of the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center in July, more than 60 special sessions, over 300 topics, and over 20000 industry colleagues will gather together. When you meet "Lu Lu" at the venue, why not take a closer look at it - that Oriental unicorn with a lowered head and long hooked eyes, with a deep heart accumulated by three thousand years of civilization, blesses the steady and far-reaching development of the country's new drug industry.
