Devotion Manifesto

Selfless dedication is not a fantasy — sometimes, we can do it too.

Why I Open Source

Open source is like one's face: you can tell good from bad at a glance. Flaws may draw ridicule and criticism; merits win praise and respect. Don't worry — they are shaping a better you.

Interests & Hobbies

Always curious about new technologies, devoted to open source, and happy to share technical insights; fascinated by tattoo culture, keen on tech gadgets, playing handheld consoles in spare time, and occasionally relaxing in CrossFire and Minecraft. Often found on OSChina, CNBlogs, Zhihu, ITHome, GitHub and Gitee, also browsing Douyin, Bilibili, anime and American dramas.
