Theme: LIGHT 光

It is the light, that in darkness it shines.
It is the light, that to success it glorifies.
It is the light, that in creative thinking, brings colors unite.
It is the light, that to its energy, nurtures everything combine.
Light is power, but more importantly,
It is the courage to not be a coward.
From ancient when fire was raised as the light,
While as a medium that connects in the modern time.
Light cannot be infinitely defined,
But contains infinite hope ahead.
In pursuit of light, we would encounter,
In bathing of light, we commit endeavor.
We are light observer,
We are light purchaser,
We are light together,
And we are light that shines forever.
A glimmer, might be enough to lead guidance;
As we combine all of them, is the light in radiance.
