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…

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…

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. …

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…

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…

On the sixth day, after returning from Yellowstone National Park, we took another stroll around Salt Lake City, visiting the state capitol and churches. I still felt this city was very livable. It's my style. (Image lost) Early on the seventh day, we took the Greyhound to Las Vegas, a journey that took eight hours…

You can choose to selectively ignore the rambling or view it only by pictures (it's truly beautiful). First, here's today's itinerary map: (Image missing) Most of today was spent driving, and the journeys were quite long. On this route…

Before writing this, I was thinking about what to name this trip. My initial plan was just for my parents to come to the US and I could take a trip there. …

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…

Dear students and scholars: Good evening! Thank you all so much for coming here tonight to help elect the next leadership of our Chinese Students and Scholars Association. The development of the George Washington University Chinese Students and Scholars Association over the past twenty years would not have been possible without the support of all our students, scholars, alumni, and faculty members! In this…

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…
