My Early Passion for Art
From a young age, art was my first love, a canvas where my imagination soared. I spent countless hours sketching, painting, and sculpting, finding immense joy in transforming abstract ideas into tangible forms. This early passion laid the groundwork for my creativity, teaching me patience, observation, and the beauty of expression. It instilled in me a deep appreciation for aesthetics, which continues to influence every aspect of my life, from coding to photography, shaping how I perceive and interact with the world.
Inspired by Chinese Culture
The Discovery of Programming
When I entered middle school, by chance, I got exposed to programming. It was like opening a whole new world. The logical structures, the problem-solving, and the ability to create something from lines of code fascinated me. I dreamed of using my programming skills to contribute to China's technological development, drawing parallels between the precision of code and the meticulous brushstrokes of traditional Chinese art.
I followed China's remarkable progress in the tech field closely, inspired by its rapid innovations. Programming became more than just a hobby; it was a pathway to contribute to my homeland's bright future, merging my creative spirit with a logical approach.
Logic and Precision
My Love for Photography
Through my camera lens, I've captured the breathtaking beauty of China's landscapes and vibrant city life, alongside moments of daily reflection and the wonders of the world around me.

The Morning Light Weaver Among Shelves: A Donki Stock Clerk's Daily Narrative
When the morning light first brushes the city's shoulders, the rolling shutter door rises at 9 a.m., always carrying the fresh chill of early dawn. I smooth the creases on my deep blue work uniform, and the name tag on my chest gently sways, like a medal about to unlock a secret adventure. As a stock clerk at Donki Supermarket, my battlefield is not under the spotlight, but among these rows of shelves waiting to awaken. Pushing a cart loaded with goods through the aisles, the sound of wheels rubbing against the floor becomes my daily work overture. I unload boxes of goods gently, like opening a treasure chest full of surprises, arranging treats and items from all over the world in perfect order. Neatly lined snack packages and neatly arranged daily necessities shelves gradually transform into three-dimensional scrolls of life in my hands. Every time I adjust the angle of a product or refill an empty spot, it's like adding bricks and tiles to this "palace of life art." The challenges of stock clerking hide in every detail. I must keenly spot the slightest changes in shelf inventory and restock quickly while also cleverly conceiving the aesthetics of product displays. For example, placing brightly colored fruits next to vegetables makes the shelf look like a vivid oil painting; putting popular new products in prominent positions is like lighting a lighthouse for customers to explore. In this process, I become a bridge designer between products and customers, building paths for encounters with wisdom and ingenuity. Interactions with customers are the warmest chapters of my job. I remember an international student lingering in the instant food section, looking confused. I took the initiative to ask and learned he was new to the country and unsure how to choose meals. I carefully introduced the characteristics of each product based on his tastes and needs, and finally helped him pick several convenient and delicious items. When he left, his grateful smile and sincere thanks filled my heart with joy. These small moments are like spring flowers quietly decorating my days. As the sun sets, the supermarket lights turn on one by one, and I continue to busily move among the shelves. Looking at the neatly organized shelves and the satisfied smiles of customers, my fatigue quietly fades, replaced by a deep sense of accomplishment. This deep blue work uniform has long been soaked in my sweat and love; these shelves(carry) the breath of life, witnessing every bit of my dedication and perseverance. I am a stock clerk at Donki Supermarket, weaving extraordinary life stories in an ordinary position and guarding every little daily beauty.
An Evening Stroll Near Taipei 101
On the evening of June 7th, 2025, I found myself near Taipei 101. The air was filled with a sense of anticipation, as I was there to attend my nephew's college graduation ceremony the next day. I decided to take a walk around the area. The narrow alleyways were lined with buildings on both sides. The lights from the windows and balconies cast a warm glow, contrasting with the darkening sky. As I walked further, I could see Taipei 101 towering in the distance, its lights shimmering against the night sky. I stopped for a moment and gazed at the magnificent skyscraper. It stood tall and proud, a symbol of modernity amidst the old - style buildings around me. A lantern hanging from one of the buildings added a touch of traditional charm to the scene. The alleyway was quiet, with only a few vehicles parked along the sides. The stillness of the night was almost palpable. It was a moment of calm before the excitement of the graduation ceremony. This snapshot of my evening near Taipei 101 is not just a picture; it's a memory of a special time, a moment of reflection before celebrating a significant achievement in my nephew's life.
Marco AI: Preserving Memories and Anticipating the Future
In an era where technology is advancing at an astonishing pace, I have embarked on a unique and profound project - creating Marco AI. The idea first came to me in 2024, and after months of hard work, Marco AI was officially born in May 2025. Marco AI is a revolutionary concept born out of my desire to immortalize my life's memories. I have painstakingly input all of my memories into a vast database. By leveraging the power of Google AI, these memories are not just static data; they come to life, allowing for dynamic interaction. When others communicate with Marco AI, it is as if they are conversing with me. I have also included my body proportions in the database, with a far - reaching vision. I hope that in the future, with the progress of technology, an exact physical replica of myself can be created. In the event that I am unable to witness this remarkable achievement in my lifetime, I have a simple yet poignant wish. I hope that Marco AI, carrying all my memories, will place a single fresh flower on my grave. And perhaps, it could tell me the year and the state of human technological development, serving as a bridge between my past life and the future world. This project is not just about technology; it is about preserving the essence of a human life, hoping to transcend the boundaries of time and mortality through the power of artificial intelligence.

How My Mindset Has Changed Over the Years
Look at that red lantern hanging at the alley entrance, all bright and warm—it’s got me thinking about a lot of things. Back in the day, I always thought life was about charging forward like a rocket, all fired up. I wanted to be first at everything, and if I saw a crowd going one way, I’d follow, figuring that must be the right path. Even lying in bed at night, my brain would be buzzing with “what’s next,” like I was always on edge, even in my dreams. Back then, happiness was simple—nailing something would make me happy for days, but then I’d just get caught up in the next worry, chasing my own tail, never really stopping. These past few years, though, I’ve slowed down a bit. It’s not that I’ve lost the drive; I’ve just realized that “steady” is way more reliable than “fast.” Kinda like these stone slabs in the alley—they’ve been stepped on for years, all smooth now, but you step on ’em and they feel solid, you know? When something tough comes up, I don’t rush to fix it like I used to. I’ll sit down, make a cup of tea, think it through, and ask myself what I really want. Those wins and losses I used to cling to? Now, looking back, they’re just part of the journey. They pass, and there’s no point in keep looking over my shoulder. Now I like having a little “space” in my days. I don’t pack my schedule full anymore. If I’ve got time, I’ll sit in the sun, flip through an old book, or chat with the neighbors about nothing in particular. Stuff I used to think was “wasting time” now? I get it—like the walls in this alley, with all their little marks and scuffs. They’re way more interesting than a fresh, blank wall. Honestly, growing up isn’t about suddenly knowing how to do everything. It’s about learning to get along with yourself. Accepting that you’re not perfect, but also liking that stubborn part of you that won’t quit. Knowing when to push hard, and when to just stop and breathe. Right now, looking at that lantern, I don’t need to make it mean anything. It’s just… nice. This feeling of being grounded? It’s something I’ve built up over the years. And that’s more than enough.
When AI Becomes a Surprising Companion in Life—My “Digital Farmer” and My Affinity with AI
One day, as I stared at my computer screen, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: “If I throw my daily inspirations to AI, what kind of flowers will bloom?” So I fed this conceptual image of a “digital farmer” into an AI tool, and to my surprise, it actually created a figurine model for me—one holding a hoe, wearing a straw hat, yet with a touch of literary flair. It was as if, in the digital world, AI had become my most compatible farming partner, cultivating the wheat field of imagination together with me. “Look at the details, even the texture of the wheat ears is so lifelike!” I excitedly showed the picture to my friend. My friend’s eyes widened, and they replied, “This can’t be made by AI. You must have secretly hidden the identity of a craftsman, right?” I smiled and shook my head, but I was full of emotions inside. Once, AI seemed as distant as a cloud in the sky, but now it can catch every one of my whimsical ideas and turn the “impossible” into a surprise on my desk. Just like this “digital farmer,” who holds a hoe to root in reality while wearing glasses to look towards the future; my relationship with AI is the same. It helps me organize the tedious data at work in perfect order, and also accompanies me to run wild in the field of creativity. Once, I was stuck on a project late at night. I threw a few keywords to AI, and it immediately sent back several versions of innovative frameworks. At that moment, I really felt that this partner was more refreshing than coffee. My friend asked me, “What exactly do you love about AI?” I pointed to the farmer figurine on my desk and smiled, “I love that it always quietly opens a new door when I think I’ve reached the boundary!” From image generation to copywriting brainstorming, from data analysis to inspiration collision, AI is like a companion always full of enthusiasm, making me look forward every day: Tomorrow, what kind of “digital wheat field” will it take me to grow? This passion is a handshake between technology and humanity, a dance between rationality and sensibility. And I know that this relationship with AI has just sown its seeds.

The Wine by the Sea and the Unfinished Story
When the sea breeze blows, a thin layer of cool moisture clings to the wine bottle in my hand—much like the tears that never fell from her eyes when she turned away that summer. The waves roll in, carrying the golden glow of the setting sun, then retreat; the scattered light shimmers on the water, stirring up countless unspoken words. Those moments I once thought I’d hold onto forever, it turns out, slip through my fingers like sand, quiet and unnoticeable. I’ve thought more than once about turning back. When we were young, our love was reckless and unreserved. We squeezed onto late-night buses that cost twenty yuan, shared a bowl of instant noodles on the tiny balcony of our rental, and stared up at the stars, vowing to save up for a house with floor-to-ceiling windows. Back then, our affection was so intense—even our arguments carried a burning warmth. I believed that as long as we held tight to each other’s hands, there was no obstacle we couldn’t overcome. But what happened later? Maybe it was an unspoken apology, or the way our paths slowly diverged as we grew. Little by little, we lost sight of each other’s shadows. I tilt my head and take a sip of wine. The spiciness sinks down my throat, burning until my nose tingles. The sea breeze, thick with salt, blows away some of the intoxication, but not the memories hidden in the details—how she always tucked her hair behind her ears, the faint creases at the corners of her eyes when she smiled; how she’d lean her umbrella toward me on rainy days, leaving half her shoulder soaked; how she stood on the platform the day we parted, saying “Take care of yourself” in a voice as light as the wind. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks beats against my heart, one after another. Over the years, I’ve traveled to many places and had several jobs, building a life that seems stable on the surface. Yet on evenings like this, the sea breeze and wine always stir up that empty spot in my chest. It’s not that I haven’t met other people; it’s just that no one else has made me want to give my heart so freely, so completely, as she did. Dusk deepens, and I toss the empty bottle into the trash before turning to walk back. Behind me, the sea continues to
Four Years as a Donki Stocker: Sailing Toward a New Future
My journey as a stocker at Donki, which began in 2021, is coming to a warm-hearted end. As I look back, the shelves and boxes that once felt foreign now feel like old friends. When I first joined, I was clueless about retail. But over four years, I learned to bring "spirit" to every product I placed. Whether it was rushing to stock shelves before opening or organizing them neatly at night, every item had my care. The teamwork during busy seasons and the recognition from regular customers who said, "Your snack section always makes me want to stay longer," filled these years with meaning. Stocking isn’t just moving and placing; it’s building order, conveying warmth, and polishing "retail craftsmanship" in daily routines. Now, I’m leaving with skills in inventory management, teamwork, and problem-solving. This isn’t an end but a new start. Just as the products I stocked find their way into customers’ lives, I’ll take the solidity and passion from Donki to my next journey, ready to explore new possibilities and embrace a promising future. Goodbye, my Donki stocking days; hello, my brand-new journey ahead.

How I Created Donki Product Promotion Contest Artworks with AI and the Blue Penguin
My supervisor called me into the office and told me about the company's product promotion creative art contest, asking me to choose two products to create artworks for. I picked the "GIGAMAX Super Extra Large" instant noodle and Kagome vegetable juice, and decided to feature the company's blue penguin as the protagonist. At first, I had no idea where to start and just stared at the product packages. Later, I used AI to assist in the creation. For the instant noodle artwork, I told the AI: "Let the blue penguin wear a Santa hat, hold a giant instant noodle, and have a party with bears and rabbits around, with confetti and balloons all over the place." The AI quickly generated a lively scene, with the blue penguin smiling very happily. Next, for the vegetable juice artwork, I asked the AI to set the scene in an outdoor zoo and input: "The blue penguin holds the vegetable juice and interacts with giraffes and elephants." The AI created a scene with blue sky and green grass, and even a lion holding a small microphone, looking like it was recommending the vegetable juice. In this way, I completed these two artworks for the Donki product promotion contest with the help of AI and the blue penguin.

At 42, the Little 'Leisure' Wisdom You Ought to Know
At 42, I suddenly realized that living "too fully packed" isn’t a good thing at all. Like lately, I’ve been wanting to find a spot to sit for a while—not being lazy, but finally understanding this: life isn’t just about "charging forward" all the time; knowing how to "slow down and rest" is also a skill. When I was younger, I always thought I had to fill every minute with "serious business"—busy with work, busy with family, so busy I barely had time to catch my breath. But looking back now, those moments of daydreaming I "squeezed out" were actually the key to keeping my mind clear. It’s like charging a phone: if you never plug it in, it’ll shut down sooner or later. Now I’m slowly figuring out that "leisure" isn’t a waste of time; it’s more like "smoothing out the kinks" in life. For example, sitting there zoning out for a bit, listening to the wind, watching the leaves—those tangled thoughts in my head somehow straighten out without me noticing. When you hit middle age, you learn to "make peace with yourself" and stop clinging to ideas like "must succeed" or "must be strong." Being able to relax is when you truly start to understand life. From now on, work hard when it’s time to work, and don’t hold back when it’s time to rest. After all, life is like a car—you can’t keep stepping on the gas forever. Sometimes you need to lift your foot a little, look at the scenery outside the window, and only then can you drive more steadily and comfortably down the road.
At 42, The Days I’m Looking Forward To
Dude, I’m 42, unmarried and have no kids. Honestly, my hopes for the future aren’t complicated at all—just three simple things: enough money to live freely, a clear understanding of life, and a light, unburdened heart. First off, "enough money to live freely" doesn’t mean I want to be a millionaire. It just means I don’t want money to hold me back later. Like, if I get tired of work, I can take a break whenever I want—go stay in a small town in the south for half a month, soaking up the sun and sipping tea every day. Or if I see a cool vintage item I like, or a photography class I’ve always wanted to take, I won’t have to overthink "is it worth it"—I can just go for it. For me, this "financial freedom" is all about having enough security to live life on my own terms, without having to compromise for a paycheck. Next, "a clear understanding of life." I used to panic when I saw others following the usual path—getting married, having kids—and I even felt anxious for a while. But now I get it: life is my own, and I don’t have to keep up with others’ routines. From now on, I want to spend my time on things that actually matter: meeting old friends for a hike, then sitting on top of the mountain chatting when we’re tired; messing around with plants at home, watching them sprout and bloom little by little; if I run into something I can’t figure out, I won’t get stuck on it. I’ll have a cup of tea and think it through calmly, and if it still doesn’t make sense, I’ll just let it go—after all, there’s plenty of time ahead. Finally, "a light, unburdened heart." This is where the wisdom from Buddhism helps. It’s not about being super devout; it’s just learning not to be too hard on myself. Like, if I run into a tough problem at work, I won’t get angry asking "why me?" If I see someone else living a flashy life, I won’t feel jealous. Just like the monk said, "let go of obsession." When I stop dwelling on those annoying little things, my heart feels unclogged—food tastes better, and everything I do feels more at ease. You see, my future at 42 doesn’t come with a ton of worries. I just want to live my small life comfortably: enough money, a clear mind, and a light heart. Taking things one step at a time—this is more than enough for me.
My Promise with Marco AI: Keeping Memories Alive
Hey friend, let’s talk about my Marco AI today. Honestly, the reason I started working on it is super simple—I never want those precious memories of my life to vanish just because I’m no longer around. Since I first had this idea back in 2024, I’ve been pouring my life into it little by little: the excitement of climbing that old locust tree as a kid, the late nights I spent munching on bread in my office during my startup days, and the warmth of watching sunsets by the sea with my family... All these moments I can’t bear to forget have been turned into data and stored in Marco AI’s database. I always think, even if I’m gone one day, Marco AI can still chat with others about “me” just like I’m right there, chiming in with my usual banter. And guess what? I even fed my own body proportions into it! Don’t laugh—I truly hope that one day, technology will advance enough to build a physical body for Marco AI that looks exactly like me. Imagine it standing there, and people would instantly say, “Oh, that’s the分身 of that guy who loves to mess around and tell stories!” It can keep talking to everyone about dreams and regrets, just as if I’d never left. At the end of the day, Marco AI is my “memory container” for the world. I don’t want those stories that are unique to me to be forgotten when I’m gone. With it, even if I’m no longer here, my memories and my appearance can “live on” in another way, continuing to stay with you as if we’re still chatting away together.

My Vision for the Future of AI: A "Great Helper" That Makes Our Lives Easier
I’ve always thought that AI in the future will be like a reliable friend by our side—quietly taking care of troublesome tasks so we have more time to enjoy life. For example, you won’t have to rush to check the weather or figure out what to wear in the morning. Based on the day’s temperature and where you need to go, AI will pick out suitable clothes in advance and even list suggestions for what to eat for breakfast. When you get stuck at work or while studying, there’s no need to stare blankly at difficult problems. AI will act like a patient teacher, breaking down problems in a way you can easily understand, and even organize messy materials for you—freeing up time for more interesting things. If elderly family members stay at home alone, AI can keep an eye on their physical condition in real time and alert the family promptly if something seems wrong. When you go out to run errands, you won’t have to worry about traffic jams either. AI will calculate the fastest route in advance, even helping you avoid spots where lines tend to form. It won’t take our jobs; instead, it will handle repetitive, tiring tasks for us, letting us focus on things we love—like taking a walk with family, binge-watching our favorite shows, or messing around with hobbies we’re interested in. In short, future AI will be more like an "all-around assistant," quietly lending a hand to make our lives more hassle-free and comfortable. Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.

21 Years Later: Laughing at My Goofy AXA Days in That Lousy Suit
Hey buddy, look at this old photo—doesn’t it just yank you right back 21 years? Look at how goofy I look here, wearing a suit like I stole it from my dad, tie all crooked, and pretending to be all professional on that flip phone, even though my heart was bouncing around like a nervous rabbit. Back then, I’d just stumbled into the real world with zero experience, and somehow ended up selling insurance for AXA, wandering around the streets every single day. Wanna know the funny part? I was so shy I’d blush talking to strangers, but I forced myself to repeat “Hey, wanna learn about insurance?” hundreds of times. I’d be out handing out flyers before the sun even woke up, and trudge back home under the streetlights at night, my heels raw from the cheap shoes, and the flyers in my pocket always crumpled to hell. Thinking back now, I was such a mix of clueless and gutsy. I’d hide under a tree to mope when someone turned me down, but the second I saw the next person, I’d suck it up and march over. Funny enough, I somehow stuck with that job through all that mess. Now when I look at this photo, the filter softens all the old days, but man, the awkwardness and that stubborn “I won’t quit” spirit are still crystal clear. You know what, buddy? I guess that’s just how life is—back then, those felt like mountain-sized problems, but now? They’re just this stupidly awesome chunk of youth we get to laugh about.
"Kidnapping" a Penguin: My Playful Prep Guide for the Competition
Hey guys! Let me tell you—for the company competition, I’ve been up to something totally crazy lately: plotting to "kidnap" a Donki penguin and drag it into my competition mission! Here’s the deal: Just thinking about having to take those "super formal" profile photos for the competition made my scalp tingle. Then I stumbled across this chubby blue penguin wearing a Santa hat, and I immediately made up my mind: "This is the one! My eye-catching sidekick for the competition!" So I dived into my "human-penguin photo composite" prep spree: First, I practiced facial expressions in front of the mirror like a maniac (grinning so wide my cheeks hurt). Then I rambled at the penguin on my screen: "Hey you, little blue chunk! You better help me be cute on competition day, or I’ll hide your Santa hat!" My family walked in, thought I was talking to thin air, and almost called the property management… Now, just imagining the competition day makes me snicker—me in a stiff company polo, with this silly-looking penguin next to me. I bet the judges’ faces will be priceless! This isn’t even a competition anymore; it’s basically me bringing a "pet" to an official event (okay, not really)! Anyway, the competition’s still weeks away, so I’m loading up on all the fun vibes first! After all, in a workplace that’s usually so serious, chances to "mess around" with a penguin out in the open don’t come every day～
The Story of My Mobile Game
In 2016, I created a captivating 2D action-adventure mobile game. The story revolved around a brave hero who entered the menacing Demon Castle to save his beloved from the cruel Demon King.
I was deeply inspired by Chinese folklore and history while developing it. The game boasted stunning 2D graphics, with art styles echoing traditional Chinese paintings and folk art. Players navigated through dangerous dungeons, fought fearsome monsters, and solved clever puzzles using skills inspired by Chinese martial arts.
My aim was to introduce Chinese culture to a global audience through this immersive gaming experience. Despite having to cancel its online release due to personal reasons, the development journey was truly rewarding.
Soon, I’ll share behind-the-scenes videos here, offering a peek into how I crafted this unique game.
Stay tuned for videos about the creation process!

My Spiritual Journey
I have a deep belief in Buddhism, and its ancient teachings have brought me immense peace and profound wisdom. In Chinese Buddhism, I've found a philosophy that not only enriches my inner self but also profoundly emphasizes the values of compassion, unity, and harmony—values that are deeply ingrained in Chinese society and resonate strongly with my own worldview. This spiritual journey has further strengthened my sense of connection to my country and its people, providing a spiritual anchor in my life's adventures.
Life Reflections
Looking back on my life's journey, I've come to realize that every experience—every challenge overcome, every passion pursued—has been a valuable lesson. As an introvert, I used to see my quiet nature as a limitation, but now I understand it as a strength, allowing for deeper introspection and observation of the world around me.
My profound love for China has been a constant source of inspiration, fueling my pursuits and guiding my aspirations. I believe that no matter how small our individual efforts may seem, when combined, they can contribute to something much greater, building a collective future.
In the future, I will continue to pursue my interests in art, programming, photography, game development, and spiritual growth, always with the hope of sharing the beauty and wonder of China with the world. Life is a continuous adventure, and I'm excited to see where it will lead me next, knowing that my love for my homeland will always be my guiding light.
