——The South African spirit in the King Protea Business Card Box September is South Africa’s Heritage Month. When the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and black colors of the national flag spread in the wind, this land is telling the story of the rainbow nation. Each ribbon carries the aspirations of the African land: red is the courage to fight for freedom, blue is the vastness of the sky and the ocean, and the Y-shaped intersection in the center is just like the trajectory of different ethnic groups moving forward hand in hand. The King Protea-shaped business card box on people’s chests is continuing this spiritual heritage in a unique way. As the national flower of South Africa, the King Protea can bloom a flaming corolla in the barren cracks of the rocks, and its tenacious character is just like the portrayal of this reborn country. The metal business card box based on the King Protea is designed as a three-dimensional flower that can be opened and closed. When people exchange business cards, it is not only the transmission of professional identity, but also a symbol of tribute to vitality – just as South Africa, which has experienced the cold winter of apartheid, has always maintained the power of rebirth. This business card box incorporates elements of the national flag, and the edges of the golden petals are inlaid with national flag glaze, which is in line with the core of the South African Constitution of “recognizing differences and pursuing unity”. It reminds every holder: true success does not lie in monopolizing the spring, but in coexistence and prosperity in a diverse soil like the king protea. When we hold such a business card box close to our hearts, we are sowing the seeds of tolerance and hope in business dealings. At this moment, looking up at the South African flag, the vibrant red-orange color is shining against the golden red of the king protea. May every moment of opening this small box awaken the unyielding gene in our blood, so that the understanding across races and classes, like the king protea that never fades, will bloom forever in the spring of South Africa.

——Die Suid-Afrikaanse gees in die Koning Protea-besigheidskaartjieboks. September is Suid-Afrika se Erfenismaand. Wanneer die ses kleure van die nasionale vlag, rooi, oranje, geel, groen, blou en swart, in die wind strek, vertel hierdie land die storie van die Reënboognasie. Elke kleurband dra die aspirasies van die Afrikaland: rooi verteenwoordig die moed om vir vryheid te veg, blou verteenwoordig die uitgestrektheid van die lug en oseaan, en die Y-vorm in die middel is net soos die trajek van verskillende etniese groepe wat hand aan hand vorentoe beweeg. Die Protea-vormige besigheidskaartjieboks op mense se bors sit hierdie geestelike erfenis op ‘n unieke manier voort. Die koningprotea, die nasionale blom van Suid-Afrika, kan sy vlammende kroonblare in die dorre rotssplete blom. Sy hardnekkige karakter is net die weerspieëling van hierdie hergebore land. Die metaal-besigheidskaartjieboks, wat gebaseer is op die prototipe van die koningprotea, is ontwerp as ‘n driedimensionele blom wat oop- en toegemaak kan word. Wanneer mense besigheidskaartjies uitruil, is dit nie net ‘n oordrag van professionele identiteit nie, maar ook ‘n simbool van huldeblyk aan vitaliteit – net soos Suid-Afrika, wat die koue winter van apartheid ervaar het, en nog altyd die krag van wedergeboorte behou het. Hierdie besigheidskaartjieboks bevat elemente van die nasionale vlag. Die rande van die goue blomblare is ingelê met nasionale vlagglasuur, wat verwys na die kern van die Suid-Afrikaanse Grondwet van “die erkenning van verskille en die nastreef van eenheid”. Dit herinner elke houer daaraan dat ware sukses nie lê in die monopolisering van die lente nie, maar in die saambestaan en floreer in diverse gronde soos die koningprotea. Wanneer ons so ‘n besigheidskaartjieboks naby ons harte hou, saai ons die saad van verdraagsaamheid en hoop in saketransaksies. As jy op hierdie oomblik na die Suid-Afrikaanse vlag opkyk, kontrasteer die helderrooi-oranje kleur pragtig met die goudrooi kleur van die protea. Mag elke oomblik wat ons hierdie klein boksie oopmaak, die onwrikbare geen in ons bloed wakker maak, sodat die begrip oor rasse en klasse heen vir ewig kan blom in die lente van Suid-Afrika, net soos die ewige protea.
