In August in Lion City, the red and white national flag is unfurled under the scorching sun. The totem formed by five stars and a crescent moon embodies the spiritual code of Singaporeans for 62 years – red symbolizes equality and courage, white represents pure faith, and the stars and the crescent moon guide the common aspirations of diverse ethnic groups. Under this fluttering flag, the orchid pen holder on every family’s desk is silently telling a deeper philosophy of life. The shape of the national flower Vanda orchid rooted in the pen holder is just like the survival wisdom of this island country. The orchid extends its roots in the rough clay, just like our ancestors opened up miracles in the scarcity of resources; the flower stems stretching upward at the opening of the pen holder freeze the tenacious posture of surviving in adversity. This container that carries writing tools is a metaphor for the precipitation of knowledge and the inheritance of civilization – each pen placed is an anchor point for thought, and the layers of ink marks will eventually build a tower of wisdom. When the stars and the moon of the national flag shine on the orchid pen holder, we see the symphony of individual destiny and family and country feelings. Just like the different lengths of stationery in the pen holder will eventually write a beautiful article, the small persistence of each citizen is weaving the magnificent picture of the country. Three years after the epidemic, on this National Day, the nutrients accumulated in the roots of orchids are stimulating new buds, and the pens parked in the pen holder are about to write a new chapter – as long as the stars and the moon are still shining at the height of admiration, the children of Singapore will always be able to grow the life force that supports the skyline in a small inch of clay.

八月的獅城，紅白相間的國旗在驕陽下舒展，五顆星與新月構成的圖騰，凝聚著新加坡人62年來的精神密碼－紅色象徵平等與勇氣，白色代表純潔信念，星月指引著多元族群的共同仰望。這面飄揚的旗幟下，每個家庭書桌上的蘭花筆筒，正無聲訴說著更深層的生命哲學。國花卓錦萬代蘭紮根筆筒的造型，恰似這個島國的生存智慧。蘭草在粗糲陶土中延展根系，正如先輩們在資源匱乏中開墾奇蹟；筆筒開口處向上舒展的花莖，定格著逆境求生的韌性姿態。這個承載書寫工具的容器，暗喻知識沉澱與文明傳承——每支擱置的筆都是思想的錨點，層層疊疊的墨跡終將壘成智慧的高塔。當國旗的星月光輝映照在蘭花筆筒上，我們看見個體命運與家國情懷的交響。就像筆筒裡長短不一的文具終將寫就錦繡文章，每個公民的微小堅持都在編織國家的壯闊圖景。疫情三年後的這個國慶，蘭花根系裡積蓄的養分正催發新芽，筆筒中停駐的鋼筆即將書寫新章——只要星月仍在仰望的高度閃耀，獅城兒女便永遠能在方寸陶土裡，生長出撐起天際線的生命力量。
