Recently, because my NetEase Cloud Music membership “expired”, in a very bad mental state, I angrily uninstalled the app and started looking for other music platforms.

As the weather has been getting warmer recently, I chose an Airmate FA18 electric fan on the JD.com app. The promotional poster claimed that it is a high-quality, silent fan with AI voice function, but the product I received made me suspicious. It looks like a poorly made product. Firstly, the product logo has many signs of use, making it look like it has been used for a long time, which means it could be a second-hand product. In addition, I found many flaws in several parts of the electric fan, which made me question whether it is a fake product. Since I purchased it from the Airmate official flagship store on JD.com, according to my 20 years of online shopping experience, it is almost impossible for such a channel to sell fake products. Moreover, I have shopped online on JD.com nearly a thousand times and have never encountered such a problem. I sent these pictures to customer service, and they quickly arranged a return. Due to this extremely unpleasant shopping experience, I no longer want to continue buying products from this brand and immediately purchased another electric fan produced by Midea Electric.

The 2024 Chinese Lunar New Year holiday lasts for a total of 8 days, and most places also have a holiday on the eve of the New Year, which is considered part of the actual holiday, making it 9 days. Taking advantage of the long holiday, I didn’t hesitate to bring the children back to my hometown in Hunan to celebrate the New Year. Even though the traffic jams on the way back and forth exceeded ten hours, such minor difficulties seemed insignificant compared to the joy of family reunion and the warmth of kinship.

Recently, I rushed back from Guangdong to Hunan to attend two weddings. One was my cousin’s wedding, and the other was the wedding of a high school classmate whom my wife and I both know. These two weddings have been long awaited and are considered well-deserved. Among them, my cousin’s wedding began to be planned at the beginning of 2023. His wife comes from a remote mountainous area in Yunnan and belongs to the Lahu ethnic group. Another classmate’s wedding was planned three years ago but was unable to be held due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has always been difficult to gather a large number of people. Therefore, it was only held this year during the Spring Festival when everyone had spare time to make up for the wedding. In fact, their son is already three years old.

Recently, due to some reasons, we have had to move from our original office building to another office building. I worked in the previous office building for 9 years, during which time I also changed several offices, but none of these moves were as impactful as the current one, which involves a complete relocation to a different building. Although the original office building was constructed in 1983, it was still adaptable to current office needs. However, the newly occupied office building, despite being built at a later time, has an interior that seems very serious and oppressive.

Today, I had the great pleasure of attending the Foshan High-Quality Development and Rule of Law Forum. The theme of this forum was bankruptcy and the rule of law. The event featured two top experts in the field of bankruptcy law in China: Professor Li Shuguang from China University of Political Science and Law, and Professor Xu Yangguang from Renmin University of China. In addition, Judge Ding Haihu, an expert in bankruptcy adjudication from the High People’s Court of Guangdong Province, was also invited to speak at the event.

Seven-Star Rock is located in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. The scenic area covers a total area of 8.23 square kilometers. It is named Seven-Star Rock because the seven limestone peaks are arranged in a pattern similar to the Big Dipper constellation in the sky. It is a AAAA-level scenic spot in China.

Today, I participated in our company’s union activity and went to Zhaoqing Ziyun Cave Scenic Area with my colleagues. It is a relatively niche attraction with not many tourists, but the scenery is quite beautiful. Additionally, it is conveniently located near the city, making transportation relatively easy.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a three-day training program in Jiangmen City with law professionals from various cities in Guangdong Province. During the program, we were invited to visit several legal construction sites in Jiangmen City, including the Jiangmen Public Legal Service Center, the Grassroots Legislation Contact Point in Jianghai District, the Juvenile Judicial Protection Center in Xinhui District, and the Social Governance Center in Xinhui District.

Previously, I had been using Alibaba Cloud servers registered with a promotional offer, with a configuration of 2 CPU cores and 2GB of memory. However, since that product is about to expire and I cannot continue to renew it with the promotional offer, I don’t plan on using it anymore. So, during this time, I have been searching on the Nodeseek forum to find a cloud server with a suitable price.

It’s a Chinese brand SUV that I purchased in 2017. I mainly use it for commuting to work and driving my kids around. So far, I’ve been driving it for six years and the mileage is only 50,000 kilometers. However, the tire treads were worn out, so I decided to replace all four tires. The original tires were German brand Continental, size 235/55/R18, but they were quite expensive, costing around 700 Chinese yuan per tire. So, for all four tires, it would have been 2,800 Chinese yuan. That’s why this time I opted for Chinese brand tires of the same size, which only cost 1,000 Chinese yuan for all four. It was a more affordable option.

Yesterday I took hehe and dodo to a pristine tourist area, and they were both very interested in this SkyMirror.

Recently, I have been commuting to a prosecutor’s office that is 40 kilometers away. Initially, I planned to drive my own car, but then I discovered that the office had an unused official vehicle, so I applied to use it for work purposes. It’s an old car, over 20 years old, a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser with a 2.7L V6 engine and AT tires. It’s the type of car that makes all sorts of noises except for the horn. Since driving became quite monotonous, I ended up bringing a Bose Bluetooth portable speaker and connected it to my phone to play music. Surprisingly, the overall effect was pretty good. It turns out that as long as the speaker volume is loud, road noise, wind noise, and various interior noises are not a problem.

Last night, when I went to pick up Hehe from school, I was a few minutes late. She had a displeased expression on her face and complained that the other classmates had already left on the school bus. She asked why I was late and requested to take the school bus instead. On the way back home, I also thought about it. I have to make four trips to school every day, which adds up to 80 kilometers. If we calculate for a semester of 100 days, it would be 8000 kilometers. Considering the current price of gasoline, the fuel expenses alone for this semester would amount to 5000 yuan. So, I reluctantly agreed to her suggestion of taking the school bus. Later, I realized that the cost of the school bus was also not cheap, amounting to 2500 yuan per semester.

This is my junior high school alma mater, and I spent 3 happy years here from 2000 to 2003. The building was built before 1980, when it was built on top of a remote hill because arable land could not be occupied. At that time, the building standards were not high and the quality was not very good, but as a rural middle school, it was not easy to do this. Unfortunately, with the urbanization of China, this school was abandoned after 2005 and a new school was built in the center of our town.

On weekends, I took my wife and children out to enjoy the wind. The Xijiang River is the fourth longest river in China (the first three are the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and Heilongjiang River), the second in shipping (second only to the Yangtze River), and the second in overall water flow (the main stream of the Pearl River, which is the third separately)

It was the first time I ran a long distance, and I brought back dozens of bottles of wine and hundreds of catties of vegetables. More than 1,500 kilometers back and forth, a total of 16 or 17 hours of driving, the spirit was highly concentrated, and I couldn’t squint my eyes when entering the service area.
