Plaza Weekly (Retrospective): So Usual

Suddenly, the intention arose.

After reading through the Plaza Weekly, which has been updated since August ’23, and the monthly magazine, which was only issued for one issue and has been on hiatus since then, I have compiled this compilation of weekly magazines.

Personal feelings, as several selves experiencing and lamenting the usual in the multiverse.

1. Small City Zigong

August ’23|There is nothing more cozy than this small town life when you have enough wine and food. In the small town of Zigong, it is enough to have a long board like this. On the way to the car I was thinking: people are the same, do not need to do everything everything, in one or two areas sufficiently advanced is the road to success for ordinary people such as me.

2.Baotou Dongdashan Art District

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

August ’23|At least know what Chinese medicine is first, Chinese medicine is empirical statistics.

Until he said, “It’s not cut right, fix it again.” (via@Kouseki

7. Technical jokes

November ’23|I adore real technology, like sending rockets into the sky and retrieving them. But some of the technologies that are called “technologies” are not technologies at all, such as opening Taobao with a shake. In the case of the latter, the technology is a joke. (via@Big Little Snail

8. Unstoppable

November ’23|Why can’t we stop a habit or a behavior that we know is harmful? For example, if we smoke excessively, stay up late for a long time, or compulsively swipe our cell phones, we still can’t stop it even though we can no longer derive pleasure from it. (via@Lilimon

Red umbrellas, white poles. After eating, we’ll lie down together. Lying on the floor, sleeping in the coffin, and then burying the mountain together. When they are buried, they cry and shout, and the whole village comes to eat, and there is an umbrella for the meal, and the whole village lies down together. The village will lie down together, and no one will be buried, and then they will dry up together in the sun. The sun dries up and smokes, and then they ascend to Xianxian together, go down to the mortal world as Xianxian, and pick up umbrellas after going down to the mortal world. (via@Nothing but fun.

Three aspects of healthy life and its decline are mentioned: cognitive decline, physical decline, and emotional health that is not related to age. Personal understanding: with an open mind, live to learn, in the overall inevitable cognitive decline to achieve the point of relative rise is to earn; exercise is greater than drugs, prevention is greater than treatment, a reasonable judgment of the “early control” and “over-treatment” of the different; more to see! We should look at nature and the world, feel the beauty of all things, and cherish the preciousness of them.

Issue 1: What We Remember (August ’23)

I often look at your square, the harvest is quite a lot, thought of an idea, see if it is worth it: when your square content is more and more rich, maybe you can come out with a “square weekly” or monthly, it should not be too much trouble, you as an editor, just every once in a while in the square to pick a few you think more appropriate, the formation of a weekly magazine? —- By@xRat

Issue 2: Life Elsewhere (August ’23)

This blog has been drummed into my hands for some years now, and there are fewer and fewer times when I can write quietly, but there are actually more and more things I want to write about. I haven’t been able to think of a way or a rhythm to record it. The point is, what exactly am I documenting. —- By@Elizen

Issue 3: After Organizing the Weekly (August ’23)

Time is passing by faster than I can imagine, and as we approach the end of August, it suddenly occurs to me, “Who am I? What am I doing?” There’s always a sense of busyness that seems to be marching to war, where you can’t let up or fall off the wagon at every turn. —- By@Ringing Rock Pool

Issue 4: Selective Attention (August 23)

Ordinary people lead ordinary lives, and most people spend most of their time wandering between two points and one line. Give yourself some quiet time, sometimes drinking leftover herbal tea made in the early morning, sometimes looking out the window at a ray of sunset. Be quiet, review, think. Add another glass of water and look at the light for a while. — By@宇

Issue 5: Temperament and the Body (September ’23)

Looking back on this time, I realize that devoting myself wholeheartedly to something more than just actually making a dream come true (most of the dreams listed at one time, didn’t actually come true), there’s a deep satisfaction that I didn’t get when I was pursuing several metrics at the same time (e.g., reading, waking up early, writing). — ByDiary of a Night Cat

Issue 6: Self-fulfilling prophecy (September 23)

People who blog a lot don’t care much about tools; while many people who love to toss websites have a small number of posts, and many of the blog posts themselves are related to building a website: “Configure a xx static blog from scratch”, “Good-looking and practical xx theme plugin sharing” — ByThird Shire

Issue 7: Disaster (September 23)

At first, no one cared about this disaster, it was just a mountain fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until it became relevant to everyone. — via@cooolrSelf-fulfilling prophecy (August 23)

Issue 8: Homecoming (October 23)

We seem to live our lives for only a few things: the college entrance exams, the brief return home for Chinese New Year, the sadness of waving goodbye, the anticipation of holidays, the double breaks after an exhausting week at work, and the daily countdown before the end of the day. — via@404

Photographs and words always have their own power; there is time, space, flavor, and emotion in a photograph in addition to lovely people. These are the things that happen to make up the entire meaning of life. — By@Elizen

Issue 10: Avoiding Thinking (October ’23)

On rare weekends and holidays, you have to go to the “net red” restaurant to eat some delicious food, go to the “net red” neighborhood to have fun and relax, how can you afford to work hard during the weekdays if you don’t spend some money? — By@欧雷

Issue 11: Heavy Moments (November ’23)

Your weekly is no longer your weekly if you don’t organize it. Getting rid of the manual model is a sign that you don’t want to continue, and that’s the decline of the content industry. — By@dimlau

Issue 12: Eating dirt on what? (November 23)

This year’s double eleven or basically did not buy anything, on the one hand, may be because there is really not much discount, on the other hand, is also really do not have any very need to shop for their own needs. — By@YeungYeah

Issue 13: Write a blog (November ’23)

For those who have not experienced the pre-mobile internet era, there must be a lot of confusion as to who is still blogging? And who is still reading blogs? Why don’t these bloggers care about the disparity in traffic between blogging and self-publishing? — via@2WeCode

Issue 14: Habits …… (Dec 23)

I was just reminiscing a while ago about being afraid of the dark as a child, and now I’m thinking that one probably grows not so much to stop being afraid, but to get used to facing it. I’ve become more accustomed to finding out what’s going on than I am to fearing the dark. — By@dimlau

Issue 15: Remembering Oblivion (December ’23)

There are too many things that we all know happened yesterday, right in front of us. The only way to fight forgetfulness is to remember, to fight negativity with optimism, and to believe in the power of light!

Issue 16: Only to Qian (January ’24)

Talking so much about making money seems a bit too secular and utilitarian, but one doesn’t steal, two don’t rob, make money, and no one should look down on anyone. — Bygreen hills

Issue 17: Home for the Year (January ’24)

The Spring Festival ticket rush has begun. Although there are many ways to go home, I, like most people, chose the train, and could not avoid participating in the rush for tickets. I was very anxious when the tickets were delayed. (By@阿锋

Issue 18: Is it as good as new (February ’24)

I received a regular email late last month reminding me that the blog is seventeen years old. In those seventeen years, updates have become less frequent, but it has always been a part of my life. It has documented my growth, experiences and changes, as well as the joy of old friends in the comments section. (By嘀咕

Issue 19: Spring is here (March ’24)

There is just something so penetrating about the life force that spring brings.

I have reason to believe that spring is all about fresh starts.

All I have to do is nothing:

Give time a little time.

Let the past be past and the beginning begin.

Issue No. 20: Buddhadasa (April ’24)

When I received the news that my grandmother was seriously ill, my sister joked that I should go back two days later, saying that she had to go back two days later, worrying that my grandmother would be gone if I went back, and in one sentence, my grandmother was gone on the day I went back, and at that time I wondered what my grandmother was thinking about in her last moments. (By橙子

Issue 21: Different Worlds (April ’24)

Outside the training, along the road to see the morning “nine o’clock in the world”, familiar can not be familiar with the street, but completely different people. The most impressive scene: one hand pulling a cart with wheels for groceries, one hand on a hiking stick, is she walking slowly, or is someone else walking too fast …

Issue 22: Traveling the Miles (May ’24)

Even on the most jam-packed May Day, you can’t help but be one of the “traffic jammers”. Even at City Walk, we had the misfortune of encountering tourists who were packing 10 of them. The good news is that it’s finally back to normal as of next week!

Issue 23: Difficulty in relaxing (May ’24)

My body is such a weakling, I get exhausted when I move and it’s limited to my eyes and face. The muscles in my face are constantly tense and have to be deliberately relaxed, even to the point of needing to open my mouth all the time. Maybe one day I’ll die suddenly, a cerebral hemorrhage or something. (By61’s life

Issue 24: You’ve Matured (June ’24)

We have all learned how to play a “good” social person, but we have forgotten how to play “ourselves”. When I realized this change, I was a little bit sad, not sad that I had changed, but sad that this was the growth, the “you’ve matured a lot” from my family and friends. — By@pseudoyu
