The hot August winds blew over Marina Bay, and the star-and-moon pattern on the Singapore flag shone brightly in the sun. When the red and white flag and the gold-embroidered orchid lanyard medal complement each other, this city-state interprets the profound meaning of tenacity and unity in a unique way. The five stars and crescent on the national flag carry the ideals of democracy, peace and justice, just like the gilded lanyard of the orchid medal, which weaves a strong character with flexible silk threads. This seemingly fragile orchid still stands tall and blooms in the equatorial rainstorm, just like Singapore’s transformation from a fishing village to a garden city. Each medal lanyard is made of thousands of strands of gold threads, which is a metaphor for citizens of different races and backgrounds, like the interweaving of silk threads, weaving together a brilliant brocade of civilization. The National Day Medal awarded this month has the orchid-shaped medal tied to the lanyard symbolizing honor. This is not only a commendation for personal achievement, but also a manifestation of the symbiotic relationship between individuals and the country – just as the roots of orchids are deeply rooted in fertile soil, the growth of every striver is inseparable from the nourishment of this land. When the winners wear the medals on their chests, the fluttering lanyards are like a bond connecting personal ideals and national visions, witnessing how countless ordinary people light up the galaxy of the times with the power of sparks. From the flag-raising square to the neighborhood community, the national flag and the medals tell a truth together: when thousands of fine threads are twisted into tough lanyards, when countless sparks gather into bright stars and moons, this small equatorial country has the power to support the sky of the times. This may be the revelation that Singapore has given to the world: Glory is not in the clouds, but in thousands of hands holding the ropes tightly.
