我不是个浪漫的人,也不会说很多甜言蜜语、比喻修辞。我比较会用实际行动:照顾你、支持你、来看你、帮助你、听你说话、帮你解决问题、替你出主意,确保你的未来可以跟我在一起、花时间了解你、记住你的喜好、了解你的深层动机和逻辑。有时间就联系,但也会因为得不到回应而默默切断联系方式。我是一个这么实际的人,表达爱意的方式就是见到你、时时刻刻在你身边。我会用我的方式保护你,我会在你不留意的时候、偷偷帮你,你错过的事情、提醒你。重要的决定,会给你建议。我也是个不那么懂潜台词的人,我会告诉你:我喜欢你。我会告诉所有人:我喜欢你。我会反复地告诉你,每天多次,直到你不再怀疑。

我不相信远距离,我不知道那是什么意思。人都见不到了,还有什么联系?我不懂。人与人之间的磁场即便可以感应,如果不能相见,对我来说会过于煎熬到宁愿放弃。我没耐心,我想见到你、立刻见到你、多远我都会来。

我喜欢钻牛角尖,好像和我妈一样有些“听话不懂”。用语言表达的爱意似乎我们消化起来总要慢半拍,我们是行动派。爱你,就会一直陪着你。


ChatGPT translation:

I’m not a romantic person. I don’t say sweet things, I don’t use metaphors or fancy language. I express things through actions—taking care of you, supporting you, coming to see you, helping you, listening to you, solving problems for you, thinking things through for you, making sure your future can be with me, spending time getting to know you, remembering what you like, understanding your deeper motivations and logic. If I have time, I’ll reach out—but if I don’t get a response, I’ll quietly cut off contact. I’m that kind of practical person. My way of showing love is to see you, to be around you all the time.

I’ll protect you in my own way. I’ll help you when you’re not paying attention, remind you of things you’ve missed. For important decisions, I’ll give you advice. I’m also not great with subtext. I’ll tell you: I like you. I’ll tell everyone: I like you. I’ll tell you again and again, many times a day, until you stop doubting it.

I don’t believe in long-distance. I don’t even know what that means. If I can’t even see you, what kind of connection is that supposed to be? I don’t get it. Even if people can feel each other’s presence from afar, if we can’t meet, it’s too painful for me—I’d rather give up. I’m impatient. I want to see you, right away, no matter how far I have to go.

I tend to overthink, maybe like my mom, a bit “tone-deaf” when it comes to emotional cues. Words of love always take us a little longer to process. We’re action-driven. If we love you, we’ll stay with you.

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。
