I started this personal website as a place to record what I learn, notice, and think about.

My main interests include personal knowledge management, language learning, parenting, everyday life in China, and helping foreigners better understand China.

I believe a personal website is not just a blog. It is a long-term home for notes, reflections, projects, and useful guides. Social platforms change quickly, but a personal website can become a lasting archive.

On this site, I plan to write about:

- How I organize information and build a personal knowledge system
- What I learn from language learning
- My thoughts on parenting and education
- Everyday observations in China
- Practical guides for foreigners who want to understand or visit China

This is only the beginning. I will keep the site simple, write regularly, and improve it step by step.
