Kafka Collection

Poison, oh poison… I know it’s mind-bending, I know I don’t have much time to read, but as soon as my eyes caught sight of this set of books, I immediately placed an order… Old man Kafka, your piece “Before the Law” has unsettled me for so many years…

Should I throw it away, throw it away, or throw you away? From start to finish, I haven’t seen any eye-catching articles, perhaps because the reading environment is no longer what it was many years ago.

Personal Xiami Music Network Data Analysis

It has been nearly 3 years since I registered on Xiami, and the first song I listened to on Xiami was “Love Comes Too Late.”

During my school years, I mostly used foobar2000 for offline listening, so I rarely used Xiami. The time I truly started using online music streaming frequently is probably just over a year. As for the origin, it can be roughly traced back through my daily check-ins on Xiami (up to today, 395 days).

The Flight I Desire, Not Borrowed Wings

Memories May Pan (1989-2012)

Part One:

The flight I desire, not borrowed wings [*Repeated over 50 times]

**At first, I desperately wanted to get into university; then, I couldn’t wait to graduate and start working; next, I longed to get married and have children; after that, I wished for my children to grow up quickly so I could return to work; later, I yearned to retire; now, I am truly nearing the end… Suddenly, I realize, I have forgotten to truly live. **

A Friend's Passing: So Far, Yet So Close

I remember during my sophomore year, we watched Love Connected 2. It was towards the end, maybe the last ten or twenty minutes (I checked, it’s at the 1 hour 28-minute mark), when Deng Chao gave a speech during a class meeting, delivering lines that brought tears to our eyes.

“Because, among us, one classmate has already left. She was the youngest in our class.”

It was a simple yet deeply moving scene, one that I’ve never been able to let go of.

10 Years, Farewell to CS1.6

The first time I encountered CS was 10 years ago, during a summer at my cousin’s house. Watching him with his glasses on, staring at a 15-inch CRT monitor, navigating through the pipes of de_prodigy while battling bots, I thought the game was pretty cool. After that, I found ways to play it at internet cafes, and it became an addiction.

I started playing CS extensively around 2004 and 2005, during my second and third years of high school. I often snuck out with classmates to play LAN games at internet cafes all night. Later, in college, with no academic pressure to speak of, I played even more. After graduation, during my leisure time at work, the habit continued.

On the Origin of Human Inequality

Attempting to read it again with a bilingual approach. The last time I read this book was during my freshman year at the veterinary college, I believe. Unsurprisingly, like many other books, I remember nothing about its content except for the title.
