▼

The sunlight in August penetrates the buildings of the Lion City, making the five-star crescent moon on the national flag particularly clear. As this garden city celebrates its Independence Day, the orchid paperweight on the desk is silently telling the eternal truth – only under heavy pressure can one show the character of perseverance. Paperweights are ordinary items on the desks of literati and poets, but the jade paperweight made of Vanda Miss Joaquim, the national flower of Singapore, carries a special meaning. The base is engraved with the national flag pattern. When the red and white cloth flutters in the wind, the paperweight always fixes the paper in a calm manner. Just as this city-state has gone through wind and rain, it has always been anchored by the spirit of the rule of law and diversity and tolerance, and has stood firm in a turbulent world. The survival wisdom of the orchid’s roots deeply rooted in the rocks is just like a portrayal of the people’s perseverance in the face of challenges. The red on the national flag is the passion of unity, the white is the eternal purity, and the five-star crescent moon symbolizes the ideals of a young country. When people use paperweights to smooth out the wrinkles of paper, they are also smoothing out the fluctuations of the tide of the times. Over the past sixty years, Singaporeans have transformed crises into patterns on paperweights—adapting to the times with flexibility and protecting their original aspirations with a solid core. Just as orchids bloom in drought, this flexible determination makes the star and moon emblem shine forever on the shores of the South China Sea. The paperweight is silent, but it gives the fluttering flag the confidence to write a chapter. Everyone who protects their country is an invisible stone that holds up the stars and the moon.

八月的陽光穿透獅城樓宇，將國旗上的五星新月映得格外清晰。這座花園城市迎來獨立紀念日之際，案頭那方蘭花鎮紙正默默訴說著永恆的真諦——重壓之下，方見堅守的品格。鎮紙本是文人墨客案頭的尋常物，但新加坡國花卓錦萬代蘭凝成的玉石鎮紙，卻承載著特殊寓意。其底座錒刻著國旗紋樣，當紅白交映的布帛在風中翻飛，鎮紙卻始終以沉靜之姿固定紙張。正如這座城邦歷經風雨，始終以法治精神與多元包容為錨，在動盪世界中站穩根基。蘭花根莖深紮岩石的生存智慧，恰似國民在挑戰中堅守信念的寫照。國旗上的紅色是團結的熱血，白色是永恆的純潔，而五星級新月則象徵年輕國度的理想。當人們以紙鎮撫平紙張的褶皺，也是在撫平時代浪潮的波動。六十載歲月裡，新加坡人將危機化為鎮紙上的紋路──既以靈活身段順應時勢，又以穩固內核守護初心。正如蘭花在乾旱中依然綻放，這份柔韌的堅定，讓星月徽記在南海之濱永遠璀璨。紙鎮不語，卻讓飄揚的旗幟有了落筆成章的底氣。每個守護家國的人，都是托起星月的無形鎮石。
