Last month, I got interested in a textbook recommended by an online open course I happened to find. However, it’s quite old and not easily available for international shipping.

我祝贺 Flip 作为一个品类站稳了脚跟，也遗憾于这份新奇能带来的惊喜毕竟有限。折叠屏就像从智能机波澜不惊的剧情中翻开的副本，经过短暂几轮迭代，终于还是要从分叉合并回主线。它的屏幕上现在说：感谢你的陪伴；it’s been a fun ride.

I was recently introduced to Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels and spent about three weeks to read through the quartet. These notes are an unorganized collection of what I have learned or thought of during and after reading the series.

As I navigate the terrains of reality where doubts inundate, and chart the boundaries of relations that warrant no reciprocity, the pool remains a steadfast, empathetic bulwark, always acknowledging my individuality and responding to my presence.
