Some notes about this new site
In 2022, it was a very challenging year for me due to two major losses, resulting in devastating consequences.
-
Firstly, my WeChat account, which I had been using for over 10 years, was permanently banned. This has caused me to lose contact with a large number of friends, some of whom are now impossible to reach. The loss extends beyond just monetary value. I still don’t know the exact reason for the ban, as WeChat has not provided me with any explanation.

Secondly, my computer’s hard drive was damaged, resulting in the loss of a large amount of valuable data, including years of documents, notes, open-source project code, and original blog files. These data are invaluable to me given the years of hard work that went into creating them. The only silver lining is that I have backups of recent years’ open-source project code on GitHub, so not all of the data is lost.
As my previous blog only had compiled static files, I am unable to recover the original files from it and will have to start over. This time, I have decided to use Hugo as the tool to generate my blog due to its speed and support for Markdown syntax, which is perfect for someone like me who enjoys writing in Markdown.
