Who I am #15: 我真的不会说 / I really don't know how to stay it

我真的不会说,不是骗你的。我不知道我为什么不会说,好像我不相信自己即刻的表达,似乎它总是情绪化的、不全面的、让人不舒服的,至少我爸这么说、我妈也这么说、我的某前男友也这么说。我不知道,用写的会好一些吗?

但似乎被讨厌的不仅仅是我的语言,还有我的表情、行为、偏好,我似乎总藏不住我的情绪,我的反感、冷漠、讨厌、喜欢都很明显,以至于我不理解我是被监视了吗?有人在我脑海里安装了窃听器吗?为什么我爸妈总是知道,为什么别人也总是知道,为什么我总是不知道。


ChatGPT Translation:

I really don’t know how to speak. I’m not lying.

I don’t know why I can’t.

It’s like I don’t trust what comes out of me in the moment—

Like it’s always too emotional, incomplete, uncomfortable for others.

At least, that’s what my dad said.

That’s what my mom said.

That’s what one of my exes said too.


I don’t know—maybe writing is better?


But it seems like it’s not just my words that get rejected.

It’s also my expressions, my behavior, my preferences.

I don’t seem to be able to hide my emotions.

My dislike, indifference, annoyance, affection—they all show.

Too clearly.


Sometimes I wonder—am I being watched?

Is there a wiretap planted in my brain?

How do my parents always know?

How do others always seem to know?

And why am I always the one who doesn’t?

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。
