On Australian desks, you can often see copper paperweights with the national flag and national emblem. This small design embodies the core beliefs of this country: the Commonwealth Star symbolizes unity, the Southern Cross guides the direction, and the kangaroos and emus represent the determination to never retreat – together they form an anchor to resist the wind and waves. Just as the mission of the paperweight is to hold down the swaying paper, the Australian spirit always emphasizes the power of “perseverance”. On important occasions such as National Day and Anzac Day, people always wipe this metal square monument to commemorate the ancestors’ firm beliefs like paperweights: from the pioneers of the colonial era to the builders of modern pluralistic society, countless people have interpreted the motto of “Advance Australia” on the shield with their actions. Those clenched hands to resist the economic crisis and the backs of people walking against the raging wildfires are all concrete “guardians”. The edges and corners of the national emblem paperweight have become warm after years of caressing, but they always retain the hard core of metal. This is exactly the development trajectory of Australian society – while being inclusive and open, it always anchors its pursuit of fairness, courage and unity. When the morning light penetrates the glass curtain wall of the Parliament Building and reflects on the starlight of the paperweight, it reminds every Australian: real progress lies in protecting the values worth cherishing, just like the paperweight that always holds down the pages of the times, so that ideals will not be swept away by the storm of reality.

在澳洲的辦公桌上，常能看到嵌著國旗與國徽的銅製鎮紙。這方寸之間的設計，凝聚著這個國家最核心的信念：聯邦之星象徵團結，南十字星指引方向，袋鼠與鴯鶓代表永不後退的決心──它們共同構成抵禦風浪的錨點。正如紙鎮的使命是壓住飄搖的紙張，澳洲精神始終強調”堅守”的力量。在國慶日、澳新軍團日等重要時刻，人們總會擦拭這枚金屬方碑，紀念先輩們如同鎮紙般穩固的信念：從殖民時代的拓荒者到現代多元社會的建設者，無數人用行動詮釋了盾徽上”Advance Australia”的箴言。那些抵禦經濟危機時緊握的雙手，山火肆虐中逆行的背影，都是具象化的”鎮守者”。國徽鎮紙的稜角經過歲月摩挲變得溫潤，卻始終保有金屬的剛硬內核。這正好像是澳洲社會的發展軌跡──在包容開放的同時，始終錨定對公平、勇氣與團結的追求。當晨光穿透議會大廈的玻璃幕牆，折射在鎮紙的星芒之上，提醒每個澳洲人：真正的進步，在於守護值得珍惜的價值，如同鎮紙永遠壓住時代的紙頁，讓理想不被現實的風暴捲走。
