According to the introduction on its official website, "The green card indicates one's identity, and enables its owners to freely pass through Peach Blossom Land's super energy field, acquire life energy, and gain mercy. Application for the Permanent Residence Card is open to anyone, in person or online. In order to meet the criteria set for qualification, Earth citizens must strengthen their spiritual energy."

"In this way, the card is imbued with the significance of supreme acknowledgement for one's spiritual pursuit. Accordingly, those issued with a Permanent Residence Card bear a mutual responsibility with the Foreign Minister for jointly facilitating communication with the three-dimensional world and improving living standards on Earth."

Mei explained that Peach Blossom Land is manifested in various ways, including by the persona of Foreign Minister of Peach Blossom Land, Peach Blossom Land Permanent Residence Card, and the Peach Blossom Land Flag, as well as the website.

Any individuals and organizations who agree with and support the ideas of Peach Blossom Land can apply for a flag. The conceptual simulation performance art project is to rediscover people's spiritual world and will be presented in forms of photography, video, installment and performance arts.

Mei's work focuses on images and videos as well as installations. His works have been exhibited both in China and abroad. He has also attracted wide attention by his red robe to exhibition openings and fashion events and gained praise from famous architect Frank Gehry.
