In recent decades, with the tightening of speech control on all Chinese Internet platforms, more than a dozen of my Internet accounts have been either temporarily banned or permanently banned for ‘inappropriate’ political speech.
In the past, I have used several public Internet platforms as archives for storing memories, channels for obtaining information, and squares for exchanging different opinions. But, today, not only in China, but worldwide Internet platforms no longer seem like a beautiful utopia. In August 2022, like most accounts registered in China, my Behance account was deleted without any notice. Those graphics and passages documented my past life, studies, and work have disappeared… Or rather say, part of my digital existence has been erased.
So I built this website to recollect my past bit by bit, and wish all those pieces can guide my path step by step.
