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.

Qingming is hailed as one of China’s four major traditional festivals, but in my memory, it has never held much significance, and I’ve rarely participated in its activities. Scrolling through my Onedrive photo timeline, I realized I’ve only actively taken part twice—in 2012 and 2019. Now, in 2025, it’s my third time.

Recently, I came across a disciplinary commission notice online and realized that an old friend of over a decade had been placed under investigation for corruption.

Around 2021, I started reading a lot of web novels. Some were classic works topping historical rankings on Qidian, others were filler novels I stumbled upon through a random Douyin video, and a few were books I abandoned after only a few chapters.

On Wednesday evening, while driving to pick up my child from school, my wife called to tell me that my cousin’s baby had been born. Hearing this news, I suddenly felt a weight lift off my shoulders.

It has been a long time since I last wrote about the Russia-Ukraine war. Over the past few years, this topic has become excessively heated online, with everyone holding their own opinions—many of which are irreconcilable and sharply opposed. After writing a short piece early in the war titled As an Ordinary Chinese, How to View the Russia-Ukraine War, I never updated my thoughts on the matter. Now, it’s time for an update.
