Things I’ll Never Say #2 / 不想说 #2

为什么这人这么高?为什么他可以打篮球?为什么女生都不喜欢我、还挺多喜欢他?我还没开始的青春期就要结束了吗、我这辈子都没机会谈恋爱了吗。

说实话,我不喜欢这种感觉,有种来者不善、未知、即将失控的第六感、立刻心里警铃大作。我觉得很奇怪,大家都好清闲、还有时间想这些有的没的、真好。我已经一天都不想在这待了。什么历史、什么地理、什么文学、什么生物、化学,我到底在学什么,我到底为什么要学这些。他们可能以为把他们所谓的“正确”、零碎、片面、断章取义的信息填鸭进我大脑,我就可以成为没思想的机器。不巧的是,我从来记不住没道理、说不通、与个人感知相悖的信息。我的世界,我的感觉最大。我想做什么,理当我自己决定。我相信什么,也不需要别人来告诉我。没有问你的意见,只是在和你分享。如果你想留就留,想走请便。这是我的一贯思路。


ChatGPT translation:

Why is this guy so tall? Why can he play basketball? Why don’t any of the girls like me, and why do so many seem to like him? Is my puberty ending before it even started? Am I never going to get a chance to fall in love in this lifetime?

Honestly, I hate this feeling—a kind of sixth sense that something bad is coming, something unknown, about to spiral out of control. The alarm in my head goes off immediately. I find it strange—how is everyone so relaxed, with time to think about all this nonsense? Must be nice. I don’t want to be here another day.

History, geography, literature, biology, chemistry—what am I even learning? Why am I learning any of this? Maybe they think if they force-feed me their so-called “truths”—fragmented, one-sided, out-of-context bits of information—I’ll turn into some mindless machine. Unfortunately for them, I’ve never been able to remember things that don’t make sense, that don’t hold up, that go against what I personally feel and perceive.

In my world, what I feel matters most. What I want to do—I should be the one to decide. What I believe in—I don’t need anyone else to tell me. I wasn’t asking for your opinion, I was just sharing. If you want to stay, stay. If you want to leave, go. That’s always been how I see things.

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。
