I will laugh at Dafang’s family

No, it should actually be “My long-term laugh at Dafang’s family”.

This reflects some of the difficulties I’m currently having with writing.

I looked through my blog, the last time I wrote seriously was about half a year ago, and this blog post has been lying in the draft box for a long time, except for the first two introductions, the text is empty.

Part of the reason may be that there is nothing to write about. Because of my delusion of being persecuted, I will not involve too much real life in this blog. In addition, the long-term denial of emotions also erases the ability to hurt the spring and the autumn. When I was young, my Chinese teacher taught me: “There is something to be said.” But in the endless journey of pushing the stone to the top of the mountain, the scenery that can be mentioned is indeed very limited.

Of course, the reason is not only here. I often fantasize about being a long-form writer (like Tim Urban ), but whenever I try to do it, there is always a fear that surrounds me: if there are some simple common sense mistakes in the text what to do?

In fact, when the fear was at its height, I couldn’t even utter a word of my own. Instead, frantically search for more incisive and persuasive sentences. Since other people have had such thoughts, at least they can be forgiven for saying similar things. 1

Thinking about it carefully , this kind of shackles may have been put on me by years of stereotyped essays or technical report writing-but it just applies to the present, an era where everyone can be a reviewer.

Having said that, I find myself speechless because of the pursuit of perfection…or the fear of getting bashed, even on a blog that’s all my own.

after all

Once I’m human, I’ll only talk to you about things that don’t really matter or matter at all, and I try to avoid talking about religion and politics because if we don’t agree, you won’t like me anymore.

Incidentally, this phenomenon might be called the “spiral of silence” in communication. When I was preparing some serious (…) material, I found that many ideas had already appeared in communication studies. For example, I found this word in the catalog of “Mass Communication Theory: Paradigms and Schools”. For an undergraduate journalism student, this theory is so-called simple common sense; and I have just read the second chapter of this tome, and the materials will continue to be dusted in the notebook.


  1. Another side effect is that I prefer to use some idioms. For example, I searched for a long time and found the word “Winging the moon and laughing at flowers” just now, but I didn’t put it in – and the thought of typing was interrupted. ↩

  2. Also brings “abuse of abstract verbs” and the like. Of course, this is a trivial matter of style. And, yes, my mind wandered again. ↩
