因为我妈自小的忽冷忽热、情绪过山车、毫无预兆的劈天盖脸的长时间咒骂,以及父亲的不讲道理和要求绝对服从,我是个非常典型的anxious avoidant。这跟manic depressive 差不多,只不过是在关系中,在焦虑、和逃避之间不断来回的翻来覆去。

整个大学期间的记忆都非常的阴郁、似乎一直在所有的选择中不断的前进、后退、重新观察、否定自己、结果最后还是作出原先第一反应做出的选择。很简单的事情,不管是去哪所图书馆、晚饭吃什么、到所有待办事项的优先级、不断的因为peer pressure一直出现在早就不该出现的练舞房。更别说在本科专业的选择上,一开始是单纯因为好奇概念性的理论而学习物理、同时也想证明给我妈我也能行(当初做这个选择相关的记忆已经有些模糊),但后来加上的心理学、单纯的是因为我想知道,我怎么了,我妈怎么了,我家里人都怎么了。


ChatGPT translation:

Because of my mom’s hot-and-cold behavior since I was little—her emotional roller coasters, her sudden, long, overwhelming verbal outbursts—and my dad’s unreasonable expectations and demand for absolute obedience, I’m a very typical anxious avoidant. It’s kind of like being manic depressive, except it’s within relationships—constantly flipping back and forth between anxiety and avoidance.

My entire memory of college is dark and heavy. It felt like I was constantly moving forward and backward through every decision—re-evaluating, doubting myself, only to end up making the same choice I initially wanted to make. Very simple things—whether it was which library to go to, what to eat for dinner, the priority order of to-do items—I kept going to dance practice rooms I shouldn’t have gone to, just because of peer pressure.

And that’s not even touching on choosing my major. At first, I studied physics simply because I was curious about abstract theory—and probably also wanted to prove to my mom that I could do it (the memory of that initial choice is a bit blurry now). Later on, I added psychology, purely because I wanted to figure out: what’s wrong with me, what’s wrong with my mom, and what’s going on with my whole family.

I’m an independent creator born in 1993 in Changsha, now based in California. My writing started from an urgent need to express. Back in school, I often felt overwhelmed by the chaos and complexity of the world—by the emotions and stories left unsaid. Writing became my way of organizing my thoughts, finding clarity, and gradually, connecting with the outside world.


Right now, I’m focused on writing and filmmaking. My blog is a “real writing experiment,” where I try to update daily, documenting my thoughts, emotional shifts, observations on relationships, and my creative process. It’s also a record of my journey to becoming a director. After returning to China in 2016, I entered the film industry and worked in the visual effects production department on projects like Creation of the Gods I, Creation of the Gods II, and Wakanda Forever, with experience in both China and Hollywood. Since 2023, I’ve shifted my focus to original storytelling. I’m currently developing several scripts and will shoot when the time feels right. You can check out my IMDb: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12651401/.


I’m currently revising my first script. It’s not grand in scale, but it’s deeply personal—centered on memory, my father, and the city. I want to make films that belong to me, and to our generation: grounded yet profound, sensitive but resolute. I believe film is not only a form of artistic expression—it’s a way to intervene in reality.

我是1993年出生于长沙的自由创作者,现居加州。我的写作起点来自一种“必须表达”的冲动。学生时代,我常感受到世界的混乱与复杂,那些没有被说出来的情绪和故事让我感到不安。写作是我自我整理、自我清晰的方式,也逐渐成为我与外界建立连接的路径。


我目前专注于写作和电影。我的博客是一个“真实写作实验”,尽量每天更新,记录我的思考、情绪流动、人际观察和创作过程。我16年回国之后开始进入电影行业,曾在视效部门以制片的身份参与制作《封神1》《封神2》《Wankanda Forever》等,在中国和好莱坞都工作过,23年之后开始转入创作,目前正在创作一些剧本,时机合适的时候会拍。可以看下我的imdb:https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12651401/


我正在重新回去修改我第一个剧本——它并不宏大,却非常个人,围绕记忆、父亲与城市展开。我想拍属于我、也属于我们这一代人的电影:贴地而深刻,敏感又笃定。我相信电影不只是艺术表达,它也是一种现实干预。
