I must confess: whenever I face a major event—especially a critical turning point in life—I can’t help but feel an itch to “fool around.”

Right now, amid the stifling atmosphere of preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, I find myself eagerly typing out the first post of this new site in front of my computer screen. This scene feels oddly familiar. It takes me back to the spring and summer of 2022, when I was on a leave of absence from high school and staying at home. Back then, I had just shed my old ways of thinking and absorbed some new perspectives, which gave me a clearer sense of my future and life goals. In that era before AI was everywhere and you had to bang your head against every wall alone, I followed online tutorials with sheer grit and built the first website in my life.
