我想跟他说,你回去吧,你在这里现在给我带来的麻烦大过益处了。他似乎感觉到了什么、一整周的小心翼翼、生怕犯错的样子也让我心疼。但我没有过度反应吧、我是真的崩溃了,他们从小对我造成的神经递质的失调、就是会给我这样的无法控制的情绪出现。情绪来的时候,会完全淹没我的全部感官、半死不死、类似waterboarding. 

但即便这样,我也不知道怎么委婉的告诉他,最后只好假装他影响了新婚夫妇的性生活(笑):一个作为父亲都不想听到、更别说拒绝的借口了(事实上,没有影响到)。


ChatGPT translation:

I wanted to tell him, go back. At this point, the trouble you’re bringing me outweighs the benefits. He seemed to sense something—he spent the whole week walking on eggshells, afraid of doing something wrong. That made me feel sorry for him.

But I wasn’t overreacting, was I? I really did break down. The neurochemical imbalances they caused in me since I was little—that’s what leads to these uncontrollable emotional episodes. When the emotion hits, it floods all my senses. It’s half-dead, half-alive. It’s like waterboarding.

And even with all that, I still didn’t know how to tell him gently. In the end, I had no choice but to pretend he was affecting the sex life of the newlyweds (lol)—an excuse no father would want to hear, let alone argue with. (In reality, it hadn’t affected anything.)

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。
