Today’s updates:
I wrote something casually, probably as a reply to the me from six months ago.
It’s hard to imagine that half a year has passed since I built this floor on Shuiyuan, and how many unpredictable changes and unimaginable joys and sorrows have occurred during the building process. Back then, YuYu could not have imagined leaving Shuiyuan, let alone landing on Tuzhi, growing more freely.
This was my wish on the first day after leaving. Looking back at reality, how much of it has actually come true?
My exam preparation goal was basically achieved; aside from a few courses that gave me a hard time, my final exam scores this semester have improved significantly compared to last semester. Tuzhi, with its Tang‑dynasty‑like hospitality that embraces people from all over, welcomed me—a cyber‑wanderer from SJTU—giving me a sense of belonging that “where the heart feels at peace is home.” In the process of carving out my own little corner, I gradually rebuilt a new steady state. Compared with the endless explosive scandals on Shuiyuan, I prefer the slow‑moving, tranquil atmosphere of Tuzhi for settling and growing. In Shuiyuan’s “Share My Ordinary” I confidently said “I love Shuiyuan,” and now I can confidently say I love Tuzhi, and add that the Tuzhi community is my home.
Previously I mentioned hoping to “keep my love for reading.” Unfortunately, I still didn’t manage to read many books outside my major last semester; I hope to read more over the summer.
As for the memory part, I hope to write more during the summer, but it feels like I covered most of what I wanted to write last semester. I wanted to write a final chapter about the college entrance exam after the high‑school mock exam, but what final chapter can there be for senior year? The anxiety and terrible sleep that originated in senior year still torment me, and even during countless inefficient study sessions I wish I could regain the efficiency I had back then. My senior year was far from happy, but precisely because of that, I think I need to record everything I experienced as faithfully as possible before poetic memory completely deceives me. Still, there were happy moments in senior year—like chatting with teachers—that feel worth writing about, so I’ll leave a placeholder.
It’s still hard to believe I’m already a sophomore; my confusion continues, so the quest for “what to do” and occasional answers to that question will not stop.
I’ll stop here because I can’t write any further.

Below is the content from six months ago:
Back to the main topic, this is a diary floor I finally created after much hesitation. I’ll briefly talk about its name origin and composition.
lz’s username “Comment faire” means “how to do it” in French. Naming the floor “How to do it?” first clarifies its ownership. Second, the question conveys lz’s confusion at a crossroads in life. Since entering Jiaotong University, lz has been in an emo state for various reasons: can’t master the major courses, grades are poor, there are few people to talk to, and even online contacts may not respond… As for future direction, lz knows almost nothing , but the only thing lz knows is the desire to escape Shanghai at all costs, because the city’s memories are almost all painful; its commercial, career‑driven atmosphere doesn’t fit me. lz doesn’t know where to go, but definitely doesn’t want to stay in Shanghai any longer…
In addition, “How to do it?” is also a book title used by Chernyshevsky and Lenin. lz hopes to (keep a love for reading) like those predecessors, clarifying the direction of one’s own journey through repeated questioning of “how to do it?” and the ensuing reflections, reducing confusion and increasing resolve.
This floor may contain fragments of daily life and scattered thoughts. Since childhood lz has been more interested in “the great” than “the minute” (an imperfect metaphor; lz knows the two shouldn’t be set up as a vulgar opposition), and does not like focusing on trivial daily matters, but as a not‑very‑senior pig2 still has considerable interest in food and travel. Also, because lz does not want their offline identity exposed, this floor will likely not contain real‑life photos or specific academic content. lz does not engage with the “二次元” (anime) scene and has no time for games, so there will be no anime or game‑related content here.
This floor may randomly drop lz’s recollections as a problem‑solver of past life.
Here are a few lines from the beginning of “Past Events and Musings” that moved me greatly:
“I decided to write it down; but one memory summons a thousand other memories; everything that was almost forgotten comes back to life: the ideals of youth, the aspirations of early adulthood, the heroic years, imprisonment and exile—these early misfortunes left no shadow on my heart, but rather, like thunder across the sky, their great roar awakens and inspires young life.”
“Some past events need a long time to form a clear notion—a notion that is helpless, sad, yet understandable. Without this step, what is written may be sincere but cannot be genuine!”
lz obviously does not have the experience of Herzen (the obvious things are also written above), and the memories lz can recall have not been polished by enough time, so objectivity is probably zero; if anyone reads this, it’s just for fun, which isn’t important anyway.
This floor has no summoning spell, because lz doesn’t know whom to summon.
Finally, if you’ve made it this far,
(Chuunibyou warning)
then—
We still stand together…
And will once again set out on a lonely, sorrowful journey,
Unweariedly calling out truth—
Even if hope flies away, people won’t look back!
