I came across a bizarre argument on Zhihu claiming that China’s current rape rate is higher than India’s, questioning whether China remains a safe country. After some research, I found some intriguing phenomena behind this claim.

Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly got a call from the security office saying someone had come to deliver a commendation banner for me. I thought I must have misheard, so I asked them to repeat it. They mentioned that the person had called me about it on June 19th. Given the sheer number of calls I handle daily, I couldn’t recall such a conversation, so I told security to let them in to see what this was all about.

Recently, I came across a rather intriguing judicial interpretation provision. Article 11 of the Several Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on the Audio and Video Recording of Court Hearings states: “Parties, defense lawyers, litigation representatives, and others may, in accordance with regulations, copy the audio or transcribe the audio and video recordings of court hearings, and the people’s court shall provide the necessary facilities when required.” To some extent, this reflects the evolution of judicial philosophy over the past decade.

This year, during the 618 shopping festival, I wanted to build a gaming PC for fun, but I found myself stuck when it came to choosing the right setup. As mentioned in my previous post 618: The Struggle of Buying a PC, I ultimately decided against purchasing the Mechrevo gaming laptop and instead opted for a semi-DIY approach, resulting in a half-new, half-old PC.

The annual 618 sale is here, and I originally planned to upgrade my PC. But turns out there’s no room for upgrades—only a full replacement. Then, assembling a new PC led to a series of bizarre issues, leaving me stuck after a whole day of frustration.

Recently, I made time to attend the 22nd anniversary celebration of Foshan University’s Law School. Having previously been involved in the preparations for its 20th anniversary event—which was ultimately canceled due to overlapping with the university’s main anniversary activities—this felt like making up for that missed opportunity.

Recently, my wife asked if there was a quick way to format and edit WeChat Official Account articles. My first thought was to use StackEdit to automatically generate a preview. After trying it out, it worked quite well. Here’s a simple guide on how to use it.

Last year, I wrote an article titled Publishing Hugo Blogs on Mobile Using StackEdit, but I haven’t used it much since then. The main reason is that I rarely update my blog on my phone, and I also found another excellent tool called PageCMS (see: Using Pages CMS as a Hugo Blog Backend). However, overall, smoothly updating a blog on mobile remains quite troublesome, so some adjustments to the original method are necessary.

During the May Day holiday, I hadn’t planned on traveling far, but my mother-in-law urgently needed to return to her hometown, so we had to make a rushed trip. To avoid heavy traffic, my wife suggested leaving early in the morning. Unexpectedly, my mom called at 3 a.m., asking if we could leave then—she wanted to tag along for a visit too.

The past month has felt both idle and yet strangely hectic. By the end of each day, I’m never quite sure what I’ve been busy with—nothing concrete comes to mind. So, I thought I’d jot down a simple diary to keep track.
