About

Born in 1979.

I learned to read in the Daba Mountains
and later left for Xi’an to study.
Electronic engineering was my first discipline;
computer science became the second—
hardware and software growing together.

I once worked as a telecom engineer in a multinational,
and also as a small webmaster on the early Chinese internet.

For a season the site breathed
with a million visitors a day,
twenty million views,
a small crew of more than sixty—
a tide that has since withdrawn.

I design systems, shape products,
and try to understand the people who use them.

Muay Thai keeps my body honest.
I dive into the sea with a spear,
where fear becomes clear and simple.
The guitar is a conversation only with myself.

I am drawn to physics and to time,
to the quiet way civilizations appear and fade.

Rome and Chang’an share the same room in my mind,
so do Greece and the Han.
Through Fourier I sense the texture of things;
through Maxwell the hidden strings beneath order;
within the folds of Calabi–Yau
quantum tides arrive and withdraw.

Above me—the afterglow of the Big Bang.
Below me—a mote at the Planck scale.

I keep a wide, untidy library:
history as my desk,
engineering as my boat.

I have climbed the steps of the pyramids,
walked the streets of Jerusalem,
felt the wind of Istanbul in my hair.

I sang by the Wall,
and floated on the Dead Sea.

The world does not choose its heroes by learning alone.
I am only a brief traveler in the current of time.

The capable grow busy, the clever grow anxious;
those who understand ask for little.

Ambitions in the chest,
a quiet life by the Mediterranean.

Each day: rise early, train, read, think, raise my child—
treating the rest of life as a long practice.

This is where I leave my thoughts and traces.
True resonance is rare;
may we recognize each other.
