为喧嚣时代,化一种安静的妆容

In this noisy era, let's create a serene makeup look.

I grew weary of the summer's "declaration," its overly vibrant colors and clamorous cicada chirping. It was as if life, if it didn't burst forth in a triumphant display, would be a betrayal. So, I retreated inward. Deep within my heart, I found a quiet "tea room" to settle myself. I began to appreciate those corners untouched by sunlight—the moss on the walls, the slowly shifting dappled sunlight on the windowpanes, the tea leaves unfurling in the tea.

In this utter stillness, a flower unexpectedly arrives in the teahouse of my heart. It lacks the strong fragrance of a rose, and the opulence of a peony. It chooses to bloom peacefully when all things begin to recede inward. Its beauty is a gentle warmth and composure that comes only after experiencing brilliance. Its spirit is a quiet persistence that dares to retain warmth amidst the coolness. I use this utterly still heart as ink; the gentlest silk as sentences; and the bronze, steeped in time, as rhythm. I translate that flower blooming in my heart, stroke by stroke. It is my [Current Makeup]. It is the quiet makeup I create for this noisy era.

The existence of 【Shishizhuang】is not to please the world, nor to carve out a place amidst a cacophony of voices. It exists solely to acknowledge that every soul, too, dares to quietly blossom in its own time. It is you, that silent "accomplice" in that grand "journey." It is you, that unspoken "integrity" held "in your heart."
