Hello, I'm Xinwei Xiong

This page is a road. Walk a little of it with me.

The bear walks on his own;
scrolling fast-forwards the story, Space head-bumps ? blocks and grabs high coins — tap twice to double-jump.

Born in China, 2001.
School, exams, a university with no prestige attached.

Which taught me early —
resources aren't the starting point. Curiosity is.

At 5,416 m I found the space to talk with myself.
