Writing "Network Engineer" on paper felt like stepping into another world. When I first entered university, my passion for networks was indescribable. I taught myself all sorts of networking knowledge, took all kinds of certification exams, but by my sophomore year, all of that was abandoned, and I even felt somewhat lost. My junior year…

I've been in the US for half a year now, and with the New Year approaching, I've reorganized my apartment. My Y560 is back in its primary computer role. While organizing my computer, I found a lot of things from six months ago; I hadn't used it in so long. I've had many reflections in these past six months, and I'm moving forward quickly…

The "barrel effect" states that a barrel made of many wooden planks can hold a certain amount of water. If one plank is short, the barrel's capacity is limited. Similarly, a team's success depends not on the efforts of a few individuals, but on mutual support and shared goals. If there are…

I scrolled through Weibo before bed, and the screen was filled with news of snow in Hangzhou. Half a year away from home, the homesickness is growing stronger. This is my first time traveling so far from home, and I'm experiencing that feeling firsthand. 2012, a landmark year in my life, is coming to an end, and it's time to reflect and look to the future. 2012 from…

Finals ended a few days ago, and after a few days of rest, I'm preparing to set off again. These past few days, I've been thinking about a question: what kind of life do I really need? I think many people have had the same experience. When faced with a problem, we know our own methods and solutions are the best and most efficient, but others…

I wore four different jersey numbers throughout my four years of university: number 3 for the university team and the other three for the department teams, which inadvertently created an arithmetic progression: number 14 during my ambitious freshman year, number 7 during my peak sophomore year, and number 21 during my glorious senior year. Each number tells a different story. I remember when I first entered university, brimming with confidence…

1. Playing against the wind requires wisdom, but playing with the wind requires even more skill. Sometimes, a winning hand is much harder to play than a losing one. 2. People are always tired, whether in good times or bad. If you want to achieve more, you need to put in more effort. 3. Often, we lose to our own confusion. In good times…

Disclaimer: This is not a promotional piece; it simply reminded me of an organization I'd only known for a short time but which left a deep impression. I've been in the US for over a month now, and everything has been uneventful. Life in the US is different from China in many ways. As an open country, it's more inclusive, allowing me to see all sorts of things and broadening my horizons…

One cannot survive in a solitary world. Although I've endured years of solitary suffering, I still can't convince myself of my own harshness. Whenever I'm with a team, I feel happiness while simultaneously agonizing over my shortcomings, and after leaving with honors, I find myself reflecting on those bittersweet experiences. Today, walking...

Part 1 Sometimes, it's like this: you inadvertently touch upon a deep-seated wound. A person's life, though short in the grand scheme of the universe, is eternal in memory. Communication between people inevitably faces obstacles; some are tolerant and have many friends, while others…

41 days until my trip to the US, things are slowly calming down. Why go abroad? Why go to America? As the glitz and glamour fade, some things I've always held dear begin to waver. Everything needs rebuilding. Do I still have the energy and the intense desire? My last blog post was on May 24th…

It's been a month since my last blog post; time flies by so quickly. This month has been hectic and tiring, but perhaps others would see it as fulfilling and meaningful. I've been incredibly busy lately, with so many things to do. Time will always come, but my mental energy might not be able to keep up. …

For some reason, I suddenly started missing my late grandfather tonight. The memories stirred up brought tears to my eyes, recalling countless fragments of time. Now that I'm older, I understand the love that was etched in those moments. Thinking of my grandfather brings back so many memories. Brushing my teeth in the old, run-down kitchen at ten o'clock tonight, watching the TV tower flashing its lights…

Now I understand why everyone likes to use nicknames. The complexities of life prevent us from expressing ourselves with our true identities; the fragility of human nature and a lack of communication can lead to significant misunderstandings. Imagination is a terrible thing; only through communication can true knowledge emerge and win-win situations be achieved. Some people prioritize personal gain…

Today I attended the fifth anniversary alumni reunion of SIFE at Hangzhou Dianzi University, and it left a deep impression on me. The excellence of such a group is never accidental. A month ago, under the guidance of Zhi Qiao, I attended a SIFE conference. My impression of them was one of positivity, diligence, and mutual support. I think everyone…
