Quick Navigation Start with the long read: 9 sections in the body above. 1 archived notes this month, filed under 1 themes: Daily Notes and Everything Else · 1 Prologue: A May Without flomo For the entire month of May, I did not write a single flomo note. I barely posted to my feed either. This was not laziness. It was a conscious decision. I had already decided on April 30 that I would stop. The reason is simple: I no longer felt I needed it. Or more accurately — could it have a better form? I want to use my own product. It is not perfect yet, but I want to fully think through and ship the thing I have in my head. The remaining steps are few. It is close. ...

On the edge of a cliff, all logic fails. Only intuition can connect with the world. I wrote this sentence one night in Lhasa. Finding it now, I feel it can serve as the entry point to this review. Over these past fourteen months, I’ve been living on the edge of cliffs — almost literally. Encountering ice slopes on ACT mountain trails with drops beside me; every step at the altitude of Genie Sacred Mountain requiring all my strength; riding a motorcycle around the outer circle of Angkor Wat for three days with a splitting headache, yet not stopping. But I also know that those “cliffs” were more often internal. They were the cosmic-level monologues in one’s own mind after getting drunk late at night in a foreign country, with the world fading into the background. They were that night in Shenzhen, standing under DJI’s light beams, feeling like I hadn’t even reached the starting line. They were a certain morning at the end of 2025, suddenly realizing that exploration itself no longer provided enough traction, without knowing where the next fulcrum would be. ...

Introduction and self-positioning Annual Preface and Background 📅 Hi! 2025 ~ TIP: This article has a high density of information and is highly subjective.

Experience is valuable, and I hope to leave more room for you to be touched and think. Just choose the content that interests you from the TOP. ...

At dusk, I sat on the rooftop of Youli Café and raised my coffee cup toward the twin pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple. The camera recognized the distant towers and ignored the hand in front of it. Cup and fingers dissolved into a red blur; across the old city, the pagodas held their edges. ...

This piece is a thought experiment in simulated interviews. The interviewees are synthesized from field anthropology and documentary practice perspectives and do not represent any real person’s actual words. I work with AI, yet I am consistently moved by life outside of AI. The blackness of caves in Laos, the sting of a wound after a motorcycle fall, the wind along the Mekong, a stranger who read a story in my eyes, and the stretched-out time of walking instead of riding on the Four Thousand Islands—none of these experiences has model-like efficiency or can be reproduced with one click. ...

This piece is a thought experiment conducted through simulated interviews. The two interviewees are fictional characters synthesized from environmental psychology, behavioral science, and urban studies—representing no real individuals or viewpoints. In May, I explored caves, rode motorcycles, and met strangers in Vang Vieng. By June, back in Shenzhen, I often did not come alive until after dark, relied on short videos to lull myself to sleep at two or three in the morning, and lacked the energy even to step outside during the day. ...

This is a thought experiment-style simulated interview. The respondents are fictional characters composed of developmental psychology, field anthropology, and the author’s personal experience—no real experts are quoted. In December 2025, I wrote in my notes: Exploration no longer provides sufficient momentum. At first, moving to a new city wasn’t just a change of scenery. New languages, social structures, and rhythms would disrupt your existing self. Once your position loosened, your identity followed; once your identity loosened, possibilities multiplied. For a long time, “traveling” and “becoming someone new” were nearly synonymous. ...

This article is available in Chinese. An English translation is in progress. From February to March 2026, I stayed in Lhasa, Tibet — a city that forces you to slow down before you can begin to understand it. The altitude arrives first, then the silence, and finally the weight of everything the city carries. This piece explores what it means to be a stranger in a place where time moves differently, where the landscape is both physical and spiritual, and where the ordinary and the sacred exist side by side. ...

July 2025, Hakone · Mount Fuji · Tokyo, 10 days November–December 2025, Kansai autumn — Wakayama · Kumano · Nara · Kyoto, 15 days It’s March 2026. I’m sitting in a café in Siem Reap writing this. Two kilometers outside the window is Angkor Wat — those sandstone corridors, each stone hundreds of years old, the whole complex like it’s wrestling with time through volume, through weight, through stone that will never rot. ...
