Explorer building bridges between technology and humanity
Profile Snapshot v2026.1
I build bridges between technology and humanity.
If you remember three things about me, let them be: Authentic, Curious, Connector.
Where I Come From
I was born in China in 2001 (currently — years old). Like most people, I followed the beaten path — school, exams, an ordinary undergraduate university, technology. No prestigious name on my diploma, which taught me early: credentials aren't the starting line, curiosity is.
The real turning point came in 2024. I made a decision: step out of my comfort zone and rediscover the world with footsteps and curiosity.
From Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur, from Singapore to Bangkok, from Pokhara to Kathmandu, from Tokyo to Seoul… 12 months, 9 countries, 35+ cities. Not a gap year — an intentional life experiment.
"If I was a geographic explorer in early 2025, now I'm more like an astronaut diving deep into the wilderness of thought."
What I'm Doing Now
AI & Open Source
AI entrepreneur and active open source contributor. I believe AI + Human = Superhuman and work toward new paradigms of human-machine collaboration. Projects: OpenIM, OpenKF, Sealos.
Writing & Thinking
Writing is how I dialogue with myself. Four threads: AI & Technology, Growth & Cognition, Travel & Observation, Projects & Practice.
Hiking & Walking
400+ km of trails completed. Walking is moving meditation. At Tilicho Lake (5,416 m), I found the space to converse with my inner self.
Why Follow Me
First-Hand Experience
I believe in Raw Data Priority. I go verify things myself rather than consuming second-hand knowledge. Everything you read here carries authentic warmth.
Cross-Cultural Perspective
Living across multiple countries gave me the ability to step outside single narratives. I understand China's tech ecosystem, Southeast Asian life philosophies, and the global AI community.
Rationality Meets Emotion
My operating system: find sensuality in ultimate rationality; calibrate rationality in waves of experience. Logical rigor and human warmth, together.
Continuous Evolution
I'm not afraid to admit limitations or show confusion. I believe growth comes from facing your own ignorance.
My Core Themes
Understand the world, construct the self, build bridges between technology and humanity.
- How to make AI an extension of human cognition, not a replacement
- How to be a connector in an era of deglobalization
- How to preserve human softness in a world obsessed with efficiency
- How to bridge the gap between "knowing" and "doing"
