This year, we chose "illuminate" as our theme. Illuminate, make something visible or bright by shining light on it or light up, is a word that could guide a person towards bright future. We hope the sparks of our thoughts, imagination and innovation, would light up every individual's inner world. No matter who you are, what you think, there's always an inspiration and feelings to illuminate deep inside yourself and express it out to illuminate your surroundings.
