To the Mystery (1) 去秘境（1）
The driver called me at 7:41 in the morning saying he’s waiting for me outside the hostel, which was 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Very punctual. We picked another guest, Ms. Zeng, and set off for the two lakes that are not ravishingly exploited yet - Wusute Yadan Geo-Park and East Taiji Nai'er Lake. 司机师傅早上7:41打电话说他已在旅馆外等我。比原计划提前了20分钟，非常守时。我们接上了另一位客人曾小姐姐，便出发去两个尚未充分开发的湖泊-乌素特雅丹地质公园和东台吉奈尔湖。Driver Mr.… Continue reading To the Mystery (1) 去秘境（1）
On the Road 在路上
The mid-aged man next door did not sleep for the whole night. When I finally shut down my laptop and ready to rest at two in the morning, he called up a prostitute. One thing you usually suffer from cheap hotels is horrible soundproof. Luckily, he’s a boring person and doesn’t seem to be good… Continue reading On the Road 在路上

Which Train Are You Taking?
Life is a train trip toward death –the destination indiscriminate to anyone;The view along the way is what matters,and the symbiosis of you and the others. When I sit on a train I look out the window. I get excited when there is something interesting - new landscapes, animal fights, unusual weathers, etc. The view… Continue reading Which Train Are You Taking?
Excerpts of Libro de Las Preguntas
Excerpts of my favourite pieces from Pablo Neruda's <Libro de Las Preguntas>, with my experimental translations to Chinese. Original TextTranslationIIIDime, la rosa está desnudaO sólo tiene esse vestido?Por qué los árboles escondenEl esplendor de sus raíces?Quién oye los remordimientosDel automóvil criminal?Hay algo más triste en el mundoQue un tren inmóvil en la lluvia?III告诉我，玫瑰是赤裸着还是仅有那件衣服？为什么树木藏匿起它们根部的光辉？谁听那肇了事的汽车内心的不安？世上还有何物比雨中静止的火车更忧伤？XXIIAmor, amor, aquel… Continue reading Excerpts of Libro de Las Preguntas
Conversation: From Milan Kundera to Morality
Three is a charm. Recently I finished reading Milan Kundera's masterpiece <The Unbearable Lightness of Being> for the third time. The first time I read it I was in middle school. By then I understood absolutely nothing. I don't remember if I finished reading, but I remember saying '什么玩意乱七八糟的！(WTF was that!)' The second time was… Continue reading Conversation: From Milan Kundera to Morality
