为什么我不会表达,为什么我词不达意,为什么我总是想要靠近、却下意识把别人推开,为什么想要亲密关系、又害怕产生依赖,想要稳定关系、又总喜欢没事找事,想要予取予求、又嫌随叫随到没意思。一切的一切似乎都是在找各种的借口避免真正的confront我自己的各种毛病和不想被了解的面相。

这样ok吗?如果他们看到我这样,会怎么想?他们会觉得我可怜吗?会同情我吗?我爸来我家第二周末的时候,由于我在想到一些不愉快的事情的时候、他连着三次通过关紧的门大叫我吃饭、每次间隔五分钟,还数次不敲门直接冲进来、对我大喊,直接trigger我崩溃。我立刻被带回小时候,在房间里只能靠听音乐稳定一下情绪的自己、然而这个空间也是不安全的,因为我爸已经在一次争吵中把锁捶坏了。一直到读大学,潜意识里我大概还是为小时候无法控制父亲的脾气感到不安、直接导致我在Daiga某次派对时耍酒疯时冲上去给了他两耳光。

我爸trigger多次的十分钟里,我崩溃了。我大声告诉他:You are the villain in my story you’ve always been. 我告诉他,我没病、我只是深刻地认为我的人生没有意义。过去没有、现在没有、未来也不会有。因为我行尸走肉、没有自主性、不被允许自己做决定。我不是人,我畜生不如。我是您家的畜生。我不记得我还说了什么,我只记得他那之后阴郁了快一个星期。虽然我知道当时很崩溃,但我知道,我说的每个字、都是认真的…

我很自责让他见到我那样。那之后,他天天提醒我吃药、直到我重新“稳定”下来。


ChatGPT translation:

Why can’t I express myself properly? Why are my words always off? Why do I always want to get closer, yet subconsciously push people away? Why do I want intimacy, but fear dependency? Why do I crave stability, yet always end up stirring up unnecessary drama? Why do I want to have everything on my terms, yet find it boring when people actually respond to me at any time?

It feels like everything—all of it—is just me finding excuse after excuse to avoid actually confronting my own flaws and the parts of me I don’t want anyone to see.

Is this okay? If they saw me like this, what would they think? Would they pity me? Would they feel sorry for me?

The second weekend after my dad came to stay with me, I had a breakdown. I had been thinking about something upsetting, and he shouted at me to eat three times through the closed door, each time five minutes apart. He also barged in multiple times without knocking, yelling at me. That directly triggered me. I was instantly taken back to my childhood—me, trying to calm myself down with music in my room. But even that space wasn’t safe, because my dad had already smashed the door lock during a previous argument.

Even when I went off to college, I think part of me was still deeply uneasy about never being able to control his temper when I was a child. That probably explains why, during one of Daiga’s parties, when he got drunk and acted out, I slapped him—twice.

In those ten minutes of repeated triggering, I broke down. I shouted at my dad: “You are the villain in my story. You’ve always been.” I told him I wasn’t mentally ill—I just truly believed my life had no meaning. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. Because I’ve been like a walking corpse, with no autonomy, never allowed to make my own decisions. I’m not a person. I’m worse than an animal. I’m the family’s animal. I don’t remember everything I said, but I remember he stayed gloomy for nearly a week afterward.

Even though I know I was having a breakdown, I also know that every single word I said—I meant it.

I still feel guilty for letting him see me like that. After that, he started reminding me to take my meds every day—until I was “stable” again.

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。
