I write whatever comes to mind, organize my travel photos, record my daily step count, and manage my bookmarks.

if you don't expect anyone to read it from the start, then you won't be disappointed, and you won't have to doubt whether what you've written is meaningful or mature enough, or whether it's embarrassing to show your imperfect self.

It won't be, because I assume from the beginning that no one will read it. But I still want to write, because as a freelancer who works from home all year round, I say a few words a day. I need a place to express myself, a channel for my emotions.

而对于一直生活在这里的人们，这是两回事。有句笑话说，我可以捐款100万，因为我没有，但是我不能捐一头牛，因为我真的有。

I think many hackers on HN are overly naive, holding a dreamlike view of authoritarian states because they're so far away from them. Therefore, articles like these appear on the front page regularly.

But for people who have lived here their entire lives, it's a different story. There's a joke that goes, "I can donate 1 million yuan because I don't have it, but I can't donate a cow because I actually do have it."

I'm a Chinese who has lived in China my entire life and am almost 40. Personally, I think the core point of this article is wrong. China has never been run by engineers, but by officials. In ancient times, it was scholars, or literati, while craftsmen were considered lowly. Even in modern times, do officials or engineers have the final say in factories? If it were the latter, there wouldn't be so many state-owned enterprise closures and layoffs. Just go out and survey 100 people on the street and ask them who they think is running the country.
