总有一股力量推着你向前走，但是也不知道为何，起早摸黑完成一个又一个事务，忙到视野模糊看不到前方，这股力量一直推着你走，人生的经验告诉自己“走总比停着的好，前方总有圣城”。 从大学毕业之后，我们的大多数…

It's been a long time since I wrote a comment; the last one was about five years ago. Seeing the Wei Zexi incident linked to search engines and the misleading use of American technology in China—things I frequently encounter—made me want to write something and discuss it with everyone. If this offends anyone, please don't get emotional; I won't delete this blog post…

It's been a long time since I've sat quietly, listening to the pitter-patter of rain outside the window. Hangzhou is a rainy city; it drizzles constantly. From elementary school to middle school to high school, I was used to this intermittent pattering sound. Although I went to university in Hangzhou, and although the timeline is getting closer, my memories of the quiet sound of rain are dwindling. …

Last week, Fitbit released its new Blaze sports watch. I'd been eyeing it for a while, and as soon as it came out, I bought it without hesitation. However, my interest wasn't due to its superior features, but rather because I hadn't found a sports watch on the market that combined good looks with suitable functionality. I previously compromised with the Surge, but its design was undeniably hideous…

It seems I forgot to write about this year's "Year After Year." 2016 started off badly; on December 31st, the server was hacked, all content was deleted, affecting more than a dozen websites, including my own blog. After several weeks of repairs, all the websites were finally restored. …

I finally had some free time today and cleaned up my Weibo account. I found that many people's last update was in 2013 or 2014. It made me sigh; our generation has already left the ranks of the "mainstream" and entered a new, ordinary life. Actually, since graduating, I've rarely checked Weibo either; it feels like life has shrunk…

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…

Finally, I "had nothing to do" and checked my blog, only to realize it's been a very, very long time since I've written anything. Time really flies. Thinking back to when I first started blogging in 2004, I was posting several times a week. Back then, I couldn't understand why many bloggers said they didn't have time. Even if you don't have time, you're still constantly working in front of the computer; how can you be more busy than me…

As is customary, I should have written "Year After Year" when 2015 arrived, but unfortunately, I simply couldn't find the time. Some things were missed, and that's that. This is my third year abroad, and I haven't been home for Chinese New Year for three years. Each year has its own reasons, but I vividly remember 2013…

It's been a long time since I've been back to China, and a long time since I've chatted with everyone. It seems my friends are just as busy as I am, gradually getting used to being woken by an alarm clock and spending the whole day rushing around until I can barely keep my eyes open in bed. It's also been a long time since I've sat down to think about anything, read anything, or write anything, to let my mind settle down. It seems like I have more time than before…

Tonight, while playing a live game, I saw news about Obama's speech. I was surprised it wasn't broadcast on TV but posted on Facebook; it seems this speech is "targeting the younger generation." I watched it again, and the entire speech was about immigration. It mentioned…

Paul Davies, a cosmologist at Arizona State University, and his colleagues have proposed a controversial conclusion: cancer is a trial run of a "safe mode" by the body's cells, much like a computer system tries to protect itself when faced with an external threat. This theory is primarily based on the evolution of cancer, and if this theory…

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. …
