We hide in the highschool. A man is riding his car to send us home. I don’t where he comes from, but likely he is related to the school. He is a good man, and the old school master is good. But things have changed now; the master has retired, and the school was rebuilt.) ...

I migrated from jekyll to hugo, but one thing is missing: the custom theme. I spend a log of time debugging my old blog’s theme: adding dark theme, fix layout, add google search, etc. the strength of hugo is that it just works. but it’s not totally true: there is still some things bugging me, and that’s the “baseURL” and “themes”. baseURL without this setting the browser cannot be opened automatically. and I have a good reason for it. ...

From child, I’ve taught the thought of “listen to your parents”. And I have been vulnerable; because I rely on my mother for food and money. But after I start working, this is not the case anymore; why I sink into thoughts when she send me suggestions for money and work? that makes me reflect on my own relations about parent an people.

Recently I’m interested on a Chinese mobile game that’s similar to Fornite.

Preface In order to cure my carpal tunnel syndrome, I go to Jishuitan Hospital to do a MRI/NMR scan. I live far off the city center. Go there by subway costs around 2 hours - unacceptable. (I used public transport in the past and it was painful…) So I use Didi Hitch recently. It costs around 50 cny halfway (then I use subway) or around 80 cny full way. BTW the time is around 1 hour. ...
