  • [Archive] FW’s 2013 Three-Line Love Letters

    Around October 2013 Shandong Exp. High School ran a three-line love letter competition … it’s still a popular format of literature in East Asia today. The following images were my entries, recovered from a 2014 backup hard drive, which I am currently exploring before its retirement.

    Over the next weeks I will attempt to remake them (alongside the English translations) with my since-evolved typographical style.

    Chronologically, during the summer holiday before, I’d discovered Space Engine 0.97, and you can see it bleeding into these, and working its way to inspire an eventual physicist’s imagination.

  • Rainy Road Found Poem – 11

    Rainy Road Found Poem (RRFP) is a series of mysterious texts that I find in the gutter during my night walks

    Irrelevance called,
    not for eventual degeneration
    but for overdue return.

    Analogies of analogies. 
    Pieces of washed away wisdom and attention:
    “Nor is it infinity in your hands!”

  • We are small. Time is short.

    I guess I’d grown and experienced enough such that, as I look back, there existed moments of my own past which I can regard as having met greatness. The renewed personal motto taken from my own poetry archive is one such example.

    In Series …
    THE APERIODICALS
    Local (personal, potentially shallow, and subject to change) outlooks on science, technology, growth, and occasionally culture and history. The goal is to write something every week, but whether it can make its way to FWPhys is random. Hence the series title.
