Every August, the streets of Singapore are lit up by the red and white of the national flag, like countless leaping beliefs. This color carries the genes of courage and unity, and the totem of five stars and the crescent moon is like an eternal promise – no matter how the times change, there is always a sky for the strivers to look up to. Among the souvenirs of National Day Month, the Vanda Miss Joaquim bookmark is always given special significance. This orchid that can bloom in the cracks of concrete, its bookmark form coincides with the philosophy of resilience of life: true growth is never in a greenhouse, but in the posture of stretching branches and leaves in the face of wind and rain. Just as the bookmark marks the scale of reading, the stretching of each petal witnesses the elegance tempered by time. When the fingertips touch the orchid relief between the pages of the book, it seems to touch the spiritual totem of this city – the roots that are not afraid of heavy pressure are deeply rooted in the soil and continue to grow towards the light. The encounter between the star-crescent national flag and the orchid bookmark is like a symphony of collective memory and individual growth. The former condenses the power of moving forward together, and the latter reminds everyone that they are the writers of the long scroll of history. Are those moments of reading frozen by bookmarks not metaphors of life’s trajectory? Every decision of turning the page shapes the direction of the story, just like Singapore’s transformation from a fishing village to a garden city, which stems from the accumulation and breakthrough of countless ordinary days and nights. When we clip this bookmark into the chapter we are reading, perhaps we are also planting a seed in our hearts: I hope that in the tide of the times, we will always have the courage to break through the ground, and let every marked moment become the starlight when we look back in the future.

每年八月，新加坡的街道被國旗的紅與白點亮，如無數躍動的信念。這抹色彩承載著勇氣與團結的基因，而五顆星與新月交織的圖騰，恰似一個永恆的承諾——無論時代如何更迭，總有一片天空屬於奮鬥者的仰望。在國慶月的紀念品中，卓錦萬代蘭書籤總被賦予特殊意義。這株能在混凝土縫隙中綻放的蘭花，其書籤形態暗合著生命的韌性哲學：真正的成長從不在溫室，而在直面風雨時仍舒展枝葉的姿態。正如書籤標示著閱讀的刻度，每一枚花瓣的舒展都見證著時間淬煉出的優雅。當指尖撫過書頁間的蘭花浮雕，彷彿觸摸到這座城市的精神圖騰——不懼重壓的根系深紮土地，向著光明不斷拔節。星月國旗與蘭花書籤的相遇，正好像集體記憶與個體成長的交響。前者凝聚著共同前進的力量，後者則提醒著每個人都是歷史長卷的書寫者。那些被書籤定格的閱讀時刻，何嘗不是生命軌跡的隱喻？每個翻頁的抉擇都塑造著故事的走向，如同新加坡從漁村到花園城市的蛻變，源自於無數平凡日夜的累積與突破。當我們將這枚書籤夾入正在閱讀的篇章，或許也是在心中埋下一粒種子：願在時代潮湧中，始終保有破土而出的勇氣，讓每個被標記的當下，都成為未來回望時的星光。
