Women's values and dreams should not be limited and constrained by society and family, but should be freely chosen and pursued according to their own interests and abilities. Whether it is the workplace, the arts, or the sciences, women can unleash their talents and potential in their respective fields, and they can also contribute to the progress and development of society and humanity.
The diversity and dynamism of women is a beauty and strength that should not be ignored and erased, but respected and appreciated. No matter what kind of background and identity they come from, women have their own scenery and values, their own voices and stories, and their own personalities and styles. Women should not be divided into single labels and patterns, but should be recognized and understood as complex individuals and groups.
Women's courage and persistence are an encouragement and motivation that should not be questioned and suppressed, but supported and encouraged. No matter what kind of difficulties and challenges they face, women can use their wisdom and hard work to overcome their fears and confusions, step out of their comfort zone, and embrace their choices and future. Women should not be asked to obey and compromise, but should be given confidence and strength.

It hopes to inspire more girls, regardless of age, region, culture, or class, to find their own mountains, pursue their dreams, and realize their own values, and also hopes to promote more people, regardless of gender, identity, or position, to understand and respect the diversity and vitality of women, support and encourage women's courage and perseverance, and jointly build a more equal and inclusive society and world.
