In the morning light of Singapore’s National Day, the national flag and orchid paperweights form a unique image. When the crescent moon and five-pointed star on the national flag shine against the sky of the South China Sea, the orchid paperweights on display at the Presidential Palace are telling the unique survival philosophy of this island country with their cold jade-like luster. The physical properties of the paperweight metaphorically represent the spiritual core of Singapore – using its own weight to resist external intrusion. Just like this piece of jade that has been soaked in volcanic magma, it has condensed into a transparent texture after high temperature and high pressure. Singapore has forged crises into kinetic energy for development in the predicament of scarce resources and complex geography. The orchid relief on the surface of the paperweight is like the stars and moon on the national flag, indicating the dialectic of flexibility and strength: the national flower Vanda Joaquim can stand tall in the monsoon rainstorm, just as Singaporeans always resolve the pressure of survival with an elegant attitude. The paperweights displayed at the Presidential Palace are not decorations, but a concrete national creed. When your fingertips touch the uneven orchid veins on the paperweight, you can touch the wisdom of three generations of founders who turned fragility into advantage. This paperweight spirit has made this tiny country an important part of the world map, and has made every generation of citizens become the “paperweight” that supports the country’s backbone – not necessarily large, but firm enough; not needing to be ostentatious, but always reliable. Where the national flag flies during the National Day month, every Singaporean is a living paperweight, using the weight of life to protect the land under their feet, making the fragrance of orchids more refreshing in the storm of the times.
