In this dazzling world, I walk alone.

 　　My grandmother used to tell me: To try something, start by reading a book, writing a word, cooking a dish, or loving someone. Even if your handwriting is terrible, your cooking is bland, or you love the wrong person, don't be afraid. Because as human beings, we make countless mistakes, ruin countless meals, and misjudge countless people in our lives. At least you remember them—they are things no one can take away or carry with them, and they won't fade with time. They are vivid and alive in your memory and mind. 


　　I know what I want, I'm certain, and I won't explain  further.


　　I use my paintbrush to depict a blueprint for myself and others' lives.  


　　Action is the framework, perseverance is the structure, confidence is the background, 


　　and paint is the ideal. My paintings depict a vast world:


　　street scenes, alleyways, bustling traffic, pyramids, and the Louvre


　　yet, even the most magnificent wings cannot capture the image of you in my mind.


　　No one is perfect, and everyone makes countless mistakes in their life.


　　Some, though unintentional, still cause harm. Some mistakes are unforgivable— 


　　like falling in love with someone and staying in a city. With a heart full of flickering lights, you only hope


　　to change your gaze for one person turning around. A pair of bright, captivating eyes. 


　　You misjudged someone; it seems every coincidence carries an unforgivable shadow.

　　You put all your effort into cooking a dish, but it still lacks flavor.


　　You pour all your hope and sweat into it every day, but you still can't find a solid harbor .


　　You spend your days on reports, data, and profit scales, but you still can't reclaim that one important day for you.


　　You seem indifferent to the world, but you still remember and prepare gifts for family and friends.


　　You receive countless customer complaints every day, but coincidentally, they're all outside your scope of handling.


　　You seem to love


　　everyone, but you actually only love yourself. All your coincidences are the inevitable result of countless repetitive actions. All


　　opportunities are plans laid out for you by others.


　　All failures and mistakes are valuable assets in your life.


　　Life never gives you anything.


　　But I know that the person who gives the most knows what they need and what they don't need.

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

How should parents guide their children to correctly understand themselves when faced with their own imperfections?

 　　No one is perfect, and we must accept our own shortcomings. So, how should parents guide their children to correctly understand themselves when faced with their own imperfections? 　　01. Help children accept themselves. 　　Every leaf in the world is different, and so are people. To help children accept themselves, parents must first help them accept their appearance. Even if they don't have big eyes or a high nose, they can compensate with other strengths. Everyone has their own unique beauty; appearance is just a superficial thing, and it will age with time, while the soul remains constant. Therefore, teach children not to be too concerned about their appearance, but to focus on learning and enriching their inner world. 　　02. Don't compare them to other children; let them surpass themselves. 　　It's said that without comparison, there is no harm. This applies not only to adults but also to children. Some parents always compare their children to others, which can lead child...

I haven't forgotten Quanzhou Third Lane

 　　I've lived in Quanzhou for half my life, and in Dongjie for so many years, I've never walked through Sanxiang Lane, even though it's right next door. Sometimes I would pass by without paying much attention; it's just a typical southern alley, 200-300 meters long 　　and 2 meters wide. Someone who's lived in this city for over 20 years without much worldly success moved in to save on rent. I was fortunate enough to record a small segment of this alley's long history. At the intersection of Sanxiang Lane and Wenling Road, there's a newly built residential area—though it's been 15 years since then. The ground floor is like any other building, with shops on the ground floor. Across the street are some older houses, urban villages. The buildings along the roadside are also shops: senior citizens' associations, small factories, cigarette shops, hair salons, breakfast stalls, and fried dough twists—they were delicious, coated in sugar, and I often bought t...
