舞出我人生

一 | Editor's Note:
In an era of profound global shifts and increasingly complex regional dynamics, a proper understanding of the world must be rooted in "grounded experience" and localized insights. Global Times English edition, in collaboration with the Academy of International and Regional Communication Studies, Communication University of China, is proud to launch "Local Insights," an English-language column dedicated to original, field-based observations.
We invite Chinese scholars and professionals who are studying, conducting exchanges, or working outside China, as well as international students and friends living and studying in China who are familiar with the social contexts of their home countries or third countries, to begin from first-hand field experience and engage with social, cultural, and contemporary issues beyond China. The fourth article in this column, through the author's on-site experience, unpacks Singapore's distinctive national identity via its deliberate independence, structured multicultural integration policies and forward-looking urban and digital development plans.
For many years, Singapore has been a favored destination for tourists and a highly sought-after place for education and employment. But when we talk about Singapore, what exactly do we mean? Is it the cityscape dominated by the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands? Is it a global standard for effective governance and economic success? Or is it a nation with a Chinese majority that is nonetheless founded on the principles of multiracial, multireligious, and multicultural nation-building?
In late May, as part of a media delegation from China invited by Singapore's Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), I had the opportunity to explore the country in depth. Following a narrative journey through the past, the present, and the future, I discovered a Singapore far more complex than its well-known global image suggests.

The birth of a nation: A deliberate choice
To truly understand Singapore, one must first understand its origins. For a long time, the prevailing story portrayed Singapore's independence on August 9, 1965 as a sudden break - Lee Kuan Yew's emotional announcement of separation from Malaysia, often seen as a forced expulsion. However, materials displayed at the National Library Board and MDDI's The Albatross File exhibition provide a more intricate picture.
The exhibition, which makes confidential documents from founding leaders like Goh Keng Swee and oral histories from Lee Kuan Yew and Kwa Geok Choo available, reveals a strategic, negotiated process behind the separation. These documents suggest that both parties - Singapore and Malaysia - increasingly recognized that given the circumstances, long-term stability was unattainable. Independence then emerged as a deliberate political choice, the result of calculated negotiations and a growing belief that a new nation based on equality beyond ethnicity was the only viable path forward.
The significance of The Albatross File lies not only in the historical details it unveils but in the shift in narrative from "forced survival" to "chosen destiny." The exhibition itself is equally revealing. Historical documents, immersive installations, AI-enabled experiences, and digital interfaces allow visitors not just to observe history, but to question and participate in its interpretation.
Leaving the exhibition, I gained more than just a deeper understanding of Singapore's founding; I became aware of how Singapore actively constructs its own historical narrative. In this young nation, history is about both the past and the shaping of future generations' understanding of what "Singapore" means.

While the archive tells the story of Singapore's birth, the city itself shows how a society of diverse ethnicities, languages, religions, and immigrant backgrounds has been transformed into a shared national identity.
Walking through Telok Ayer, Little India, and Kampong Glam, one experiences the reality of a society molded by Chinese, Malay, Indian, and global migrant communities. Temples, mosques, and churches stand close to each other. Thian Hock Keng, Al-Abrar Mosque, Nagore Dargah, and Christian churches coexist as part of a long-standing arrangement of pluralism.
This is not passive coexistence but a carefully cultivated social order shaped by decades of governance and policy design.
In 1991, Singapore's Parliament issued the Shared Values White Paper, outlining five core principles: Nation before community and society above self; Family as the basic unit of society; Regard and community support for the individual; Consensus instead of contention; Racial and religious harmony. In a young nation without a single dominant ethnicity, religion, or shared historical tradition, this value system serves as an ideological anchor that transcends differences.
At the Harmony in Diversity Gallery, key concepts like "mutual respect," "mutual understanding," and "finding common ground" are consistently highlighted. From "Many Faiths, One People" to "We, the Citizens of Singapore," the narrative repeatedly circles back to a central idea: Differences may persist, but a shared community must be maintained.
This idea of collective identity takes on another dimension at the SingapoREN exhibition at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. Rather than focusing solely on preserving Chinese cultural heritage, the exhibition follows the transformation of migrants from temporary residents to citizens - from those who once saw themselves as transient to those who now fully identify as Singaporeans. It's not just a story of cultural preservation but one of identity transformation.
Perhaps the most tangible mechanism sustaining this multicultural cohesion is Singapore's public housing system, planned and developed by the Housing & Development Board (HDB). The apartments built by HDB are home to close to 80 percent of Singapore's resident population, of whom about 90 percent own their home. To promote racial integration and harmony, HDB introduced the Ethnic Integration Policy in 1989, which sets limits on the proportion of households from each ethnic group in housing blocks and neighborhoods to ensure a balanced mix of various ethnic communities in HDB towns.
Across HDB towns, public housing projects continue to evolve in response to demographic shifts and the rising aspirations of residents.
For example, Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok is an assisted living resident community jointly developed by HDB, Singapore's Ministry of National Development and Ministry of Health to expand the continuum of public housing options for seniors. Known as community care apartments, Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok is Singapore's first public housing development that integrates senior-friendly housing with care services that can be scaled according to care needs, as well as social activities to support seniors to live independently within the community.
Meanwhile, Punggol Point Cove is a public housing project situated along the shoreline of Singapore's north-eastern coastline. This waterfront development features wave-like architecture inspired by its location and the town of Punggol's heritage as a fishing village. Residents enjoy panoramic sea views and easy access to Punggol Promenade. It is also located near the Punggol Digital District, Singapore's first smart business district, where residents can benefit from job opportunities and new amenities near their home. Hawker centers further embody multiculturalism in everyday life. Dietary restrictions shaped by religion are managed through regulated food environments, allowing people of different ethnicities and income levels to share the same dining spaces. Whether it's Hainanese chicken rice, Indian roti prata, Malay nasi lemak, or Teochew fish ball noodles, cultural diversity is transformed from an abstract concept into daily practice.
Through shared space, shared consumption, and shared routines, Singaporeans, despite their varied ancestries, languages, and beliefs, become woven into a single social fabric. It is within this daily negotiation of differences that a true sense of national community emerges.

The future is already here: from planning to execution
At Gardens by the Bay, many visitors see a picturesque landmark. For Singapore, however, it is a model for future urbanism. Built on reclaimed land, the Gardens showcase how ecological design and engineering innovation can create a functioning ecosystem within an urban environment to support diverse flora and fauna. It reflects a belief that even within environmental constraints, human design can create new ecological possibilities.
If Gardens by the Bay represents the future of human-nature relationships, the Punggol Digital District embodies Singapore's vision for the future economy and society. As the country's first integrated smart district, it brings together industries of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and robotics within a unified urban space. The Singapore Institute of Technology is directly embedded within the district, ensuring that research outcomes translate into real-world urban solutions rather than remaining confined to academic publication.
The district's Open Digital Platform (ODP) aggregates data from more than 20,000 sensors in the district and connects various systems in real time, enabling deep integration among data systems, algorithms, and physical urban space.
This forward-thinking approach extends to national digital governance. In 2026, Singapore set out 10 refreshed priorities for the next round of AI development, including boosting AI transformation across strategic sectors, and nurturing 100,000 AI bilingual talents with domain expertise and AI capabilities who can apply AI meaningfully in their domains.
At the same time, the country actively tackles emerging risks such as deepfakes and cyberbullying, through a mix of legislation, platform accountability, digital literacy education, and community coordination.
From the existential survival concerns of its early years of independence to contemporary challenges like AI disruption and climate change, Singapore consistently demonstrates a strong focus on the future. It anticipates risks early, designs policies preemptively, and seeks solutions before crises fully emerge.
Looking back on this journey, the question I began with now has a different answer.
Singapore is more than an economic success story or a model of efficient governance. It is a nation born of political choice, held together by institutions that cultivate inclusion across diversity, and sustained by a continual capacity to adapt and reinvent itself.
Perhaps this is what we mean when we talk about Singapore.

。    杭州打五支县队、富阳抽进“死亡之组”、临安想和市队“掰手腕”

杭州队抽中A组昨晚，随着2026浙BA省级争霸赛分组抽签尘埃落定，代表杭州赛区出征的三支队伍正式亮出了各自的省赛“路线图”。“以杭州之名，为杭州而战”“东吴战队，敢打必胜”“吴越出征，临安必胜”，抽签仪式现场，杭州、富阳、临安三队代表在台上喊出出征口号。

二 | 从全省“百县大战”中拼杀而出的28支精锐力量，如今被分入四个小组——杭州队打五支县队作为浙BA的卫冕冠军，杭州队以种子身份落位A组。

三 | 翻开同组名单：台州、桐乡、余姚、安吉、江山、普陀——除台州外，其余五支均为区县级队伍。杭州队主教练于双凯说，今年队伍变了。去年核心赵哲轩不在阵中，补充进来的高世远、高世豪等新人占了全队六七成。“基本上是从零开始，”他说，“基本功要重新打磨，整体攻防要重新建立。”预选赛打下来，于双凯有个明显的感受：全省篮球的节奏快了，身体对抗也更加激烈。选人时，他格外看重综合素养。自8月中旬起，杭州队陆续进入合练。

四 | 对于外界的高度关注，于双凯摆了摆手：“平常心，享受比赛，专注过程，结果自然水到渠成。”富阳队抽进“死亡之组”D组的签一出来，富阳队上下心里都清楚：这回，是掉进“死亡之组”了。苍南、嘉兴、湖州、宁波、义乌、云和，六张牌，张张不好打。先说苍南，老熟人了。上赛季两队就缠斗不休，对方球风硬、外线准，是全省出了名的难啃骨头。这次又碰上了，还没开打，火药味已经蹿了上来。上赛季的账，这赛季接着算。更让富阳头疼的是组里扎堆的市队。嘉兴、湖州、宁波，三支市级联队，选人面广、板凳深，身高和对抗天然占优。

五 | 区县队打市队，富阳队要获胜，并不容易。

六 | 义乌和云和也不是“软柿子”。义乌队灵活，云和队“小快灵”，一旦被他们带进自己的节奏，种子队也可能翻车。可话说回来，富阳队上赛季能以区县身份杀进省四强，靠的就是那股“草鞋精神”——敢打、敢拼、整体作战、咬到最后。今年，核心班底都在。

七 | “死亡小组”听着吓人，但富阳队更愿意把它看成是一次挑战，出线含金量更足。临安队想和市队“掰掰手腕”B组的签，临安队抽得不惊不险。丽水、永康、绍兴、舟山、瑞安、临海，三支市级联队加三支区县队，算是一碗水端平。抽签前，临安队助教王海宝很谦虚：“学习心态，抽谁都一样。”签一落地，他稍稍松了半口气，话锋也转了：“学习归学习，但有些对手，还是可以掰掰手腕的。”王海宝的底气，来自B组的一个特殊格局：三支新军。

八 | 除了临安队自己，瑞安队和临海队也都是头一回登上浙BA省赛舞台。更何况，临安队本来就是杭州赛区的“逆转王”。带着这股韧劲，临安队还真有机会和同组的市队拼一拼。冲击小组前四、争取出线，也不是没有可能。

九 | 球迷们还等着看一场好戏：临安队的吕升平，预选赛拿下了杭州赛区“得分王”和“最佳防守队员”双料荣誉，而对面的丽水队，拥有上届浙BA“得分王”倪豪凯，曾单场砍下50分，堪称“最强单兵”。两代得分王如果在场上对位，想想都精彩。根据赛程，每个小组都要打满主客场12场比赛，小组前四名晋级淘汰赛。A组：杭州、台州、桐乡、余姚、安吉、江山、普陀B组：丽水、永康、绍兴、舟山、瑞安、临安、临海C组：温州、诸暨、金华、衢州、玉环、宁海、海宁D组：富阳、苍南、嘉兴、湖州、宁波、义乌、云和。
