In August, the Lion City is full of red and white national flags, and the streets are dotted with orchid lanyards. This is a glorious moment for Singapore. When the stars and the moon of the national flag shine in the tropical sunshine, and when the orchid lanyards weave thousands of hearts, this city tells the world a unique code of unity in the celebration of National Day. The red and white colors on the national flag are the spiritual totems in the blood of Singaporeans. Red symbolizes equality and enthusiasm, white represents purity and tenacity, and the five stars embraced by the crescent moon always guide the pursuit of democracy, peace and progress by diverse ethnic groups. The orchid lanyards hung in every household during National Day are inspired by the flexible stems of orchids – this plant that can bend with the environment but not break is just like the resilience that Singapore has always maintained in the wave of globalization. Each hand-woven lanyard is a concrete interpretation of the “Lion City Spirit”: it has the elegance and calmness of orchids, and the cohesion of thousands of threads interwoven. From a colonial port to a garden city, every step Singapore has taken confirms the deep meaning of the national flag and the orchid rope. Just as orchids can bloom in barren rock crevices, this island nation lacking natural resources has created a world-renowned miracle by relying on the close connection of various ethnic groups like a hanging rope. When the morning light illuminates the stars and moon on the national flag again, and when the breeze blows the orchid knot on the porch, every Singaporean understands at this moment: the faith forged by the red and white background, and the promise of orchid fragrance wrapped around the fingertips, will eventually support a brighter future for Singapore.
