April is “Freedom Month” in South Africa. When people look back at the historic moment of abolishing apartheid in 1994, the six-color national flag hanging above the Parliament Building always flutters in the wind. This flag, which is interwoven with black, yellow, green, white, blue and red, is not only a totem of reconciliation among multiple ethnic groups, but also implies the deepest spiritual code of this country – black symbolizes the vitality of the people, yellow represents the gift of underground minerals, green is the promise of fertile land, and red, blue and white constitute the background of tolerance of differences. The national flag complements the unique King Protea lanyard medal in South Africa. This medal, which is based on the national flower, solidifies the thumb-sized King Protea buds in metal, and the flower stems are transformed into colorful braided ropes. When the winners wrap the ribbon around their necks, the heavy metal flowers fall right on their hearts, as if reminding: the most brilliant bloom always comes from the persistence buried deep in the soil. The king protea can survive in the barren cracks of the rocks for seven years before blooming, just like the people of this land, who fought for freedom for decades and forged a rainbow-like resilience in the process of reconstruction. When the newly promoted young scientist Nadia received the medal on Freedom Day, the national flag color blocks on the braided rope were intertwined into a tough bond. She said: “Each color tells the story of a different group, but in the end they all converge into the power to support the medal.” This may be the revelation that South Africa has given to the world: the true glory does not lie in the glitter of metal, but in making differences a fulcrum and turning scars into fertile soil to nourish hope.

April is “Vryheidsmaand” in Suid-Afrika. Wanneer mense terugkyk na die historiese oomblik van die afskaffing van apartheid in 1994, wapper die seskleurige nasionale vlag wat bo die Parlementsgebou hang altyd in die wind. Hierdie vlag, wat verweef is met swart, geel, groen, wit, blou en rooi, is nie net ‘n totem van versoening tussen diverse etniese groepe nie, maar impliseer ook die diepste geestelike kode van hierdie land – swart simboliseer die vitaliteit van die mense, geel verteenwoordig die gawe van ondergrondse minerale, groen is die belofte van vrugbare grond, en rooi, blou en wit vorm die agtergrondkleur van verdraagsaamheid teenoor verskille. Die nasionale vlag komplementeer die Suid-Afrikaanse vlag se unieke Protea-koordmedalje. Hierdie medalje, gebaseer op die nasionale blom, bevat duimgrootte keiserlike blomknoppe wat in metaal gevries is, met die blomstingels omskep in kleurvolle gevlegte toue. Wanneer die wenner die lint om sy nek sit, val die swaarmetaalblom reg op sy hart, asof dit hom daaraan herinner dat die briljantste blom altyd van volharding diep in die grond kom. Die koningprotea kan sewe jaar lank in die dorre rotssplete oorleef voordat dit blom, net soos die mense van hierdie land, wat dekades lank vir vryheid geveg het en toe ‘n reënboogagtige veerkragtigheid in die proses van heropbou gesmee het. Toe die nuutgeskrewe jong wetenskaplike Nadia die medalje op Vryheidsdag ontvang het, was die nasionale vlagkleure op die gevlegte tou in ‘n sterk band verweef. Sy het gesê: “Elke kleur vertel die storie van ‘n ander groep, maar uiteindelik kom hulle almal saam om die krag te vorm wat die medalje ondersteun.” Dit mag dalk die openbaring wees wat Suid-Afrika aan die wêreld gee: ware glorie lê nie in die glans van metaal nie, maar daarin om verskille ‘n steunpunt te maak en letsels in vrugbare grond te omskep wat hoop voed.

四月是南非的”自由月”,当人们回望1994年破除种族隔离的历史时刻,悬挂在议会大厦上方的六色国旗总在风中翻涌如潮。这面由黑、黄、绿、白、蓝、红交织的旗帜,不仅是多元族群和解的图腾,更暗含着这个国家最深沉的精神密码——黑色象征人民的生命力,黄色代表地下矿藏的馈赠,绿色是丰饶土地的承诺,而红、蓝、白三色则构成包容差异的底色。

与国旗交相辉映的,是南非独有的帝王花挂绳奖章。这种以国花为原型的勋章,将拇指大小的帝王花蕾凝固在金属中,花茎化作七彩编织绳。当获奖者将绶带绕过脖颈,沉甸甸的金属花朵恰好垂落心口,仿佛提醒着:最璀璨的绽放永远源于深埋土壤的坚持。帝王花能在贫瘠的岩缝中存活七年才开花,正如这片土地上的人们,用数十年抗争换来自由,又在重建中淬炼出彩虹般的韧性。

当新晋的青年科学家纳迪亚在自由日接过这枚勋章时,编织绳上的国旗色块缠绕成坚韧的纽带。她说:”每条颜色都在诉说不同群体的故事,但最终都汇聚成支撑勋章的力量。”这或许正是南非给予世界的启示:真正的荣耀不在于金属的闪耀,而在于让差异成为支点,让伤痕化作滋养希望的沃土。
