2020, 2021
2020, six years.
2021, seven years.
2020, almost all my goals fell flat.
2021, keep it simple — just stay healthy and keep going.
2020, I didn’t finish writing 100 technical blog posts; I only completed 27. By the end, I genuinely didn’t know what else to write about.
2021, aim for 52 blog posts (ideally adapted into WeChat public account articles as well), not limited to technical topics — let’s try to actually finish this time.
2020, my certification plans were also put on hold.
2021, we’ll see how time allows, but I should still try to squeeze in some free certification opportunities — why not take them when they’re there.
2020, I didn’t finish a single social science book.
2021, I must finish reading “Chinese Village”.
2020, didn’t watch many films — just “Tenet” (not that impressive), “Jiang Ziya” (fell a bit short of expectations), and “My People, My Homeland” (honestly went just to see the bit about Northeast University).
2021, hope to catch a movie in Singapore.
2020, TV series I watched: “Raised by Wolves”, “Ratched”, “The Qin Empire: Alliance” (waited so, so long for this one).
2021, whatever comes, comes.
2020, still loving web novels, still a fan of Zhai Zhu — you can feel him growing with every story. Also a fan of Bu Qiang; his work has real quality and gets the blood pumping. Finished “Eagle Falcon”, and I’ve read several of his other novels before — unfortunately, due to publishing restrictions, legitimate copies are nearly impossible to find now.
2021, keep following “Lin Yuan Xing” and “Handsome Instructor”.
2020, became a paid member on Bilibili and followed Guan Shipin. Ma Ni (the Dushan County documentary), Shen Yi (I always remember how, on his birthday, he hugged his wife stone-faced in front of everyone and just went for it), Wen Tiejun (genuinely teared up watching him talk about the Three Worlds), the Political Commissar who always toasts first, Teacher Ban Fo, and others.
2021, keep learning on Bilibili.
2020, from Xi’an to Chengdu, then from Chengdu to Singapore.
2021, hope to smoothly return to the motherland.
2021, keep grinding, fellow workers!!!
