Does it mean that the email from the National Natural Science Foundation of China was sent late?
Just because the NSFC e-mail was sent late doesn't mean it didn't win the prize. If the National Natural Science Foundation of China fails to win the bid, it will also receive an email notification and review comments. If it fails, it will receive feedback. If it wins, congratulations and ask you to fill in the task book as soon as possible. If it fails, it will tell you the expert opinion.
