In August, the red and white national flags are flying everywhere in the Lion City. The bright red on the Singaporean flag tells the promise of equality and fraternity; the totem formed by the five stars and the crescent moon embodies the common ideals of diverse ethnic groups. In this season full of hope, the awarding ceremony of the Vanda Joaquim Medal is on schedule. The national honor named after the national flower is writing another profound meaning. The design of the Vanda Joaquim Medal is inspired by the elegant posture of Singapore's national flower, but the golden light dancing between its petals hides a deep meaning – each line symbolizes the enthusiasm of the devotees, and each vein outlined by silver thread points to the responsibility of social responsibility. The five-pointed star at the center of the flower echoes the national flag, emphasizing the brilliance of personal achievements and highlighting the preciousness of collective strength. Just as the winners come from different fields such as science and technology, education, and public welfare, this medal conveys the belief of "different paths lead to the same destination": no matter what your identity is, as long as you take root in your job with the tenacious character of orchids, you will eventually be able to bloom with the power to promote social progress. From the stars and the moon on the national flag to the fragrance of the Vanda medal, Singapore has used symbols to weave a network of values that inspire people. It tells us that excellence is never a solo, but a movement of multiple concertos; dedication is not limited to grand narratives, but can also be precipitated in daily perseverance. When everyone illuminates the way forward with the light of sparks and resists the wind and rain with the posture of orchids, this land will surely burst into more vigorous vitality.

八月的獅城，處處飄揚著紅白相間的國旗。新加坡國旗上那抹鮮亮的紅色，訴說著平等與博愛的承諾；五顆星與新月構成的圖騰，凝聚著多元族群的共同理想。在這個充滿希望的季節，卓錦萬代蘭獎章的授勳儀式如期而至，以國花命名的國家榮譽，正書寫著另一重深刻寓意。卓錦萬代蘭獎章的設計靈感源自於新加坡國花的優雅姿態，但其花瓣間躍動的金色光芒，卻暗藏深意──每一道紋路都像徵奉獻者的熱忱，每一片銀絲勾勒的脈絡都指向社會責任的擔當。花心處的五角星與國旗遙相呼應，既強調個人成就的璀璨，更彰顯集體力量的可貴。正如獲獎者來自科技、教育、公益等不同領域，這座獎章傳遞著"殊途而同歸"的信念：無論身份如何，只要以蘭草般堅韌的品格紮根崗位，終能綻放出推動社會進步的力量。從國旗上的星月輝映，到萬代蘭獎章的蘭香馥鬱，新加坡用符號編織出激勵人心的價值之網。它告訴我們：卓越從不是獨奏，而是多元協奏的樂章；奉獻不限於宏大敘事，亦能沉澱於日常堅守。當每個人以星火之光照亮前路，以蘭草之姿抵禦風雨，這片土地必將迸發更蓬勃的生機。
