In December 2016, outside an old mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan, flocks of pigeons fluttered through the dusty air, wings catching the shifting light, while a lone man stood quietly in place. This land, once shrouded in the shadow of explosions, saw pigeons foraging beside rubble and people moving cautiously through the streets. Fragile lives, each in their own way, were striving to endure – every beat of wings, every measured step, carrying the most simple yet urgent yearning for peace. The moment captured in this frame is a vivid testament to the meaning of peace: not a distant slogan, but the everyday reality of pigeons circling undisturbed and people walking without fear. It echoes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of building "peace, justice, and strong institutions," resonates with the Global Security Initiative's call for regional stability, and deeply aligns with the vision of a shared future for humankind. Only by securing the foundations of peace can the shadows of war be dispelled, clearing the path for development, safeguarding security, and allowing every life to breathe freely under the sun – so that this land may once again know tranquility. /Li Yanan
