Recently, the provisions on “record sealing” in the revised draft of the Public Security Administration Punishments Law have been like a boulder dropped into the pond of public opinion, stirring up far more widespread attention and heated debate than other legal clauses. Among them, Article 136, which establishes the system for sealing records of public security violations, has triggered extensive societal discussion. The controversy reflects not just differing interpretations of a single legal provision but, more profoundly, reveals the complex public sentiment within the process of legal system development.

Yesterday afternoon (November 28), Old T reposted my previous article, “Why Has a Public Security Punishment Record Sealing Clause Silenced the Legal Community?” verbatim on Zhihu. The result left me stunned—almost every comment was questioning it.

These past few days, the clause in the amended “Public Security Administration Punishment Law” regarding the sealing of violation records has caused quite a stir online, with almost all mainstream media weighing in. Especially, cultural and tourism accounts and anti-drug accounts from various regions have pushed public opinion to its peak. However, upon closer examination of this round of discussion, an interesting phenomenon stands out: the legal community seems to have collectively fallen silent. Apart from a sporadic interview with a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, other prominent figures in the legal circle have almost all remained quiet.

Over the years, I’ve attended numerous training programs at Party schools and universities across the country. Due to my legal profession, I’ve frequently visited political and legal institutes at various levels. However, this was my first time stepping into a police academy within such an institute, and I took the opportunity to document this unique experience of participating in legal training there.

Recently, at the invitation of my daughter’s classmate’s parents, I had the opportunity to visit three small and medium-sized enterprises—two in traditional manufacturing and one in new materials. Unlike previous corporate visits confined to meeting rooms and office buildings, this time I explored every corner of the factory floors, gaining a clearer and more direct understanding of China’s most common production and manufacturing processes.

For daily free static blog hosting, services like Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, and OneEdge are commonly used. However, in China, Vercel and Netlify generally offer the fastest speeds. Recently, Netlify adjusted its free tier, providing only 300 credits to free users by default, with each build consuming 20 credits. If you update your blog frequently, the credits can run out quickly. Overall, Vercel remains the best option.

Previously, when using the Hugo-theme-stack theme, it came with built-in search functionality. I had assumed this was a default feature of Hugo, only to later realize it was an add-on.

After switching to the Bear cub theme, I didn’t initially think this feature was crucial. However, in practice, I found that sometimes I couldn’t recall certain details and needed search to assist. So, I looked into how to add search externally. It’s actually quite simple—just four steps.

Recently, Old T came across several videos on WeChat Video Channel showing rows of cars with dual-clutch transmissions breaking down on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. These videos urged drivers of such cars to learn how to drive using manual mode.

As Old T currently drives a car with a dual-clutch transmission—specifically, a dry dual-clutch, which is considered less robust—this issue caught his attention, prompting him to look into it.

After all, the idea of reverting to manual shifting in an automatic car is enough to give anyone a headache.

Recently, Old T wrote an article titled “Why 1000M Broadband Sometimes Tests at Only 300M,” and some readers privately messaged Old T asking how to optimize their home networks. Old T thought, isn’t network optimization something you can find everywhere online? So, he casually searched for a few articles on WeChat Official Accounts and sent them over. But clearly, these didn’t meet their needs because their goal was to optimize upload issues with cloud storage, where uploads would often disconnect midway. Thus, Old T had no choice but to write this article himself. Coincidentally, he’s also been pondering video website compression upgrades and static website solutions, so he’ll cover those as well.

Lately, while scrolling through the news, I was baffled by Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae’s outrageous statement that “a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency.” Seriously? A country that was unequivocally defeated in World War II is now posturing to meddle in China’s reunification? The role reversal is so swift, it almost feels like we’ve traveled back a century.
