Under the blazing August sun in Singapore, the star and crescent pattern of the national flag and the elegant figure of the Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid shine together. This month's National Day celebrations are not only a tribute to the country, but also a profound interpretation of the spiritual character of Singaporeans. The five stars on the national flag carry the promise of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality, while the crescent moon symbolizes the unremitting upward force of this young country. What really unites people is the seemingly ordinary but profound Vanda Miss Joaquim belt buckle. This national flower, cast into a metal emblem, tells the philosophy of survival in a unique form – the seven petals symbolize the harmony and diversity of the seven major ethnic groups in Singapore, and the purple and white gradient colors show the resilience of growing in adversity. Wearing a metal orchid on the body is not only a decoration but also a silent oath: even in the face of scorching sun and heavy rain, we must bloom gracefully in the barren place like the Vanda orchid. From the flag-raising square to the workplace lapels, the bright red of the national flag and the silver white of the orchid constitute the most moving spiritual totem of this island nation. Together, they interpret Singapore’s survival wisdom: it has both lofty ideals guided by the stars and the moon, and a pragmatic character with deep roots; it not only maintains the precise operation of the state machinery, but also protects the flexible vitality of cultural genes. When the cold luster of the metal orchid reflects the fiery sincerity of the national flag, every Singaporean is wearing a survival declaration of this era in a small space.
