  • [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.

  • Back in the Funfactory

    On the occasion that I am turning 28, I look back at the chapter of my life when I was a player and modder of games by Synetic: The Funfactory, a small German studio that, without meaning to, taught me to be a designer of cars, a scientist, and, somehow, a resident of Germany.

  • 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.
