Getting a PhD is a period of delayed decision-making that is often romanticized.
This Spring Festival, I met up with a few old classmates. Some are pursuing a PhD, while others are already working. We had a lively chat, but as soon as the topic turned to plans after graduation, the atmosphere instantly grew quiet.
Many people pursue a PhD not because they are certain about an academic career, but simply because they don’t want to face reality immediately, they want to wait a little longer, delay a bit more. A PhD is more like a buffer zone, temporarily helping you avoid the pressure of life ch

Just finished skincare and my face feels much better. As I was lying there, I was thinking, being a KOL and skincare are really very similar.
Neither can be achieved overnight; you have to persist every day and maintain a steady output over the long term.
Skincare requires good cleansing and consistent moisturizing—you can't just do it for three days and then slack off.
The same goes for content creation: you need to focus on your niche, continuously bring useful things to your followers, rather than just messing around.
Being a KOL isn't about how glamorous it looks; it's about genuin

1. The trick:
Treat people to pure water costing 5 yuan, which is better than a 50-yuan meal.
Treat people to ice cream costing 38 yuan, which is better than a big feast.
2. The giving trick:
When giving to a benefactor, say “just passing by”; when giving to a client, say “on purpose”;
When giving to a leader, say “following”; when giving to a peer, say “gratitude”;
When giving to a subordinate, say “care + nurture”; when giving to a supplier, say “win-win”.
3. Find the right moment to discuss serious matters:
After three rounds of drinks, during a solo tea invitation, or on the way back after

Divorce rates are increasing nowadays. Among your friends, colleagues, and even relatives, many are drifting apart in marriage.
Watching them go from once being sweethearts to a mess, I really want to say a few heartfelt words to everyone who is about to get married.
1. Marriage is the one thing you absolutely cannot afford to choose wrong in your life
Marriage is essentially a resource reorganization between two families—everyday expenses, elderly, children, all require money. If you can't even take care of yourself, you'll only end up with chaos after marriage. Money can't solve all problems

Every New Year, there's a scene in our family that feels especially familiar:
In the kitchen, mom, my aunt, and my aunt-in-law are busy in the steam, washing vegetables, chopping, cooking, and tidying up, working from morning till night.
In the living room, most of us women of the younger generation are sitting, chatting, resting, and keeping company with the kids, rarely diving back into the kitchen.
Some say it's because young people are becoming lazy.
But the more I grow up, the more I realize it's not laziness; it's that the times are quietly changing.
The busyness of the previous generati

Every year during the New Year, before many people even step into their homes, familiar opening lines already ring out on their phones:
“Do you have a partner this year?”
“When do you plan to get married?”
“It's getting late to choose.”
It’s during moments like these that I increasingly realize that most people ultimately cannot escape the step of “spiritual disconnection.”
Especially between the ages of 25 and 35, we are almost all experiencing an invisible family revolution: gradually detaching from the emotional co-dependence of our original families.
This process is like performing surgery

Don't look at me working hard outside this year; in a few days, I will return to the village to manage the farm.

Some essays...
"What's so great about Hong Kong?"
The day before yesterday, I was walking through Central with a friend. He looked at the endless stream of "suit-clad characters" on Queen's Road Central and asked this question.
I didn't give a direct answer, but my mind drifted to the differences in perception I've witnessed over the years while "folding Hong Kong":
Regarding time span: While we're still anxious about current KPIs, those young people in their early 20s at the Central family office are already discussing how to make wealth pass through cycles and be handed down to future genera

Top 10 Reasons Ordinary People Can't Make Big Money: 1. Being too honest 2. Can't swallow pride 3. Lack of vision 4. Never learn 5. No mentor 6. Poor network 7. Surroundings are all workers 8. No resources 9. Insufficient working capital 10. Lack of courage

In the past, Wenzhou people had a catchy saying about doing business: Make big money in wholesale, make small money in retail. Familiar customers rely on prices, newcomers rely on service. Men sell women's clothing, women sell men's clothing. In summer, sell cold drinks; in winter, sell cooked food. Open big stores in small towns, open small stores in big cities. At construction sites, open foot baths; in the food industry, gather together. Auto repair shops should be exclusive; pharmacies should stay open until midnight. Milk should be delivered in cups; open a hotel near the university. Phar
