Under the equatorial sun in August, the red and white colors of Singapore’s national flag become more and more vivid, and the orchid photo frame installations throughout the island are telling the unique national spirit with an elegant posture. These photo frames are not only embellishments of the urban landscape, but also imply the profound meaning of “taking the country as home” – just as the photo frames condense scattered photos into precious memories, Singapore has also forged a unique national identity with tolerance and unity in the collision of diverse cultures. The five stars on the national flag symbolize democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality; the curved outline of the orchid photo frame echoes the open and inclusive mind of the “Lion City”. The photo frame seems silent, but it always carries the flowing vitality with a stable structure: whether it is the colorful traditional Malay costumes, the bright red Chinese festival lanterns, or the dazzling golden roofs of Indian temples, they all find a place for harmonious coexistence in this “frame”. Just as Vanda Miss Joaquim still blooms in tropical winds and rains, Singaporeans also stick to their original aspirations in the tide of the times and interpret the protective meaning of the “photo frame” with actions – it is not only a boundary, but also a carrier of cohesive values. At this moment, when the National Day fireworks light up the night sky, I hope that each of us can become a corner of the national frame, with faith as the nail and action as the glue, to embed individual struggle into the long scroll of national progress. Because only by cherishing the soul of this land together can the red and white flags and the fragrance of orchids shine forever.

八月的赤道驕陽下，新加坡國旗的紅白兩色愈發鮮明，而遍布全島的蘭花相框裝置，正以優雅姿態訴說著獨特的國家精神。這些相框不僅是城市景觀的點綴，更隱含著「以國為家」的深意——正如相框將零散的相片凝聚成珍貴記憶，新加坡也在多元文化的碰撞中，以包容與團結鍛造出獨特的國家認同。國旗上的五顆星，象徵民主、和平、進步、正義與平等；蘭花相框的弧形輪廓，則呼應著「獅城」開放融合的胸襟。相框看似靜默，卻始終以穩定的結構承載流動的生命力：無論是馬來族傳統服飾的斑斕、華人節慶燈籠的鮮紅，還是印度廟宇金頂的璀璨，都在這個「框架」中找到和諧共生的位置。正如卓錦萬代蘭在熱帶風雨中依然綻放，新加坡人也在時代浪潮中堅守初心，用行動詮釋「相框」的守護意義——它不僅是界限，更是凝聚價值的載體。此刻，當國慶煙火點亮夜空，願我們每個人成為國家相框的一角，以信念為釘，以行動為膠，將個體奮鬥鑲入民族奮進的長卷。因為只有共同珍惜這片土地的靈魂，方能讓紅白旗幟與蘭花香韻，永遠相映生輝。
