Three Days After Returning to China
It's been three days since I returned from DC. From getting off the plane to getting my visa, and now taking the high-speed train back to Hangzhou, everything is going according to plan. It's been over two years since I've been back to China, and I've realized that I've changed a lot. Compared to other places, some things in China seem more pronounced. The airport is still the same airport, Shanghai is still the same…

Please step forward bravely - I am willing to entrust my HelloGWU to you.
The complexity of this world lies in the fact that everyone has their own perspective, and these perspectives are based on past experiences. More than three years have passed, and new GWU residents may no longer understand the difficulties of not having a rental platform. Based on the existing foundation, everyone has made higher demands on the platform. Today, I heard again…

Moto 360 One-Day Usage Review
Last weekend, I accidentally discovered the Moto 360 was available for purchase. After agonizing for several hours, even knowing it was an "experimental product," I still bought it. I simply have no resistance to new technological products. I had done some online research beforehand, but it was all the same information, with no user reviews whatsoever. …

Game Theory Quiz Results: [Guess the number from 1-100, what is two-thirds of the average?]
I saw a game theory problem today that I found very interesting, so I tested it out on my WeChat Moments. The problem is simple: Pick any number from 1 to 100, and whoever's number is closest to two-thirds of the average wins. The key is how you think about others. If everyone chooses 100, then the average is 6…

see u 23
When I was a kid, my soccer team was choosing jerseys. Back then, I didn't know anything, not even the meaning of the numbers, so I just chose number 23. That was my first jersey. Blue Arsenal number 23. From then on, I loved the number 23. I remember clearly in my third year of junior high, the coach gave me number 9, and I felt a little uncomfortable about it…

Time to move forward?
I've been really stressed out by the H1B (US work visa) situation lately. Since last year, the number of applicants has exceeded the total number of visas issued, making a lottery inevitable. Last year, 85,000 were drawn from 120,000 applicants; this year it's 170,000. The chances of getting a graduate student are only 60%, which is just a matter of praying. Actually…

Left, right
Have you noticed this unprovable theorem: When you have a significant advantage but fail to achieve your goal, you will ultimately fail. Conversely, when you're on the verge of defeat, seizing a final opportunity can bring you divine intervention and allow you to go all the way. In football, a prolonged attack without a breakthrough almost always results in a loss. And in football, falling behind…
