Commentary on the Huawei Bamboo Cicada Incident

Huawei's 'Zhuzhile' incident went viral due to two factors: the positive/negative nature of the event and the issue of perspective. When Lei Jun faced the 'Are You OK' meme, he embraced it, and it remained harmless. In contrast, Yu Chengdong's situation sparked widespread ridicule not because he failed to embrace the meme, but because Huawei's commercial strategy of removing all related videos angered the public. People perceived it as an inability to accept criticism and a disregard for traditional culture. The public, seeing this as an overreaction, began questioning whether Huawei's aggressive marketing and negative-content removal were masking product quality and false advertising issues. Outsiders won't side with Yu just because of Huawei's industry standing. If the debate had only been about his speech, the outcome would have been completely different.

Muttering

It's half past twelve, and I can't fall asleep. No sleeping position feels comfortable. Lying flat gives no sense of security, and curling up always presses on my arms and clothes, no matter how many times I adjust. I wish I had someone to hold, but I've realized I no longer trust love in the real world, yet I still hope the fantasies in my mind could become reality. It's contradictory. Every night, the same thoughts repeat, and I refuse to accept reality. I feel very uneasy...

From ACGHK to Xinjiang: Full Story — On July 24 I went to the Hong Kong International Gaming & Anime Festival with friends, and less than 12 hours later I was on a plane to Xinjiang

The author recounts a trip to the Hong Kong ACGHK convention with two friends. They met at Austin station, bought newspapers and drinks in Mong Kok, and visited a csl store looking for a Nothing Phone but failed to find one. After lunch at Ajisen Ramen, they entered the convention, finding it crowded. They explored Hall 1 and Hall 3, noting a lack of exciting new exhibits compared to the previous year. A visit to the empty Hall 5 was disappointing. They later returned to Sino Centre, where the author previously found a complete set of Chobits manga. The day ended with a KFC dinner and a late return home. The author reflects that the experience felt less enjoyable due to time constraints and crowds, preferring more relaxed past visits. They then traveled to Xinjiang the next day, visiting a winery and noting the late sunset.

【ACGHK to Xinjiang Part 1】On 7.24 I went to the Hong Kong International Gaming & Animation Convention with friends, and less than 12 hours later, I was on a plane to Xinjiang

The author recounts attending the Hong Kong ACGHK convention with two friends. Last year's trip was postponed due to a lost travel permit and a typhoon. This year, they went on the 24th instead of the 25th due to a schedule conflict. They met at the station, bought a fast pass and a custom water cup. They visited a csl store to check for a Nothing Phone display and to replace a lost eSIM. They stopped in Mong Kok for drinks and newspapers, noting a headline about US criticism of Kimi K3. After lunch at Ajisen Ramen, they entered the convention with a moderate wait. The author concludes by mentioning they are now in Xinjiang, visiting a winery, and will finish the diary later.

To the Next AV Commissioner of Class 5 (Other Readers Can Skip)

The author apologizes for a mistake, explaining that after the college entrance exam, they expected to access the classroom on graduation day but were denied. They mention that the classroom computer likely still has automatic programs: a noon news player, a self-study countdown timer for the 2026 exam (which updates but shows a minimized timer), and a morning study screen. If the teacher has cleaned the computer, this message won't be seen. To remove these, two methods are provided: first, find a teacher with the password to disable Ice Point Recovery, delete startup shortcuts from a specific folder, then re-enable recovery. Second, without a teacher, open Task Manager, screenshot the Startup tab, post it in comments, and the author will provide a deletion script. Contact info is included.

7.10 Another unlucky day, following those days before.

The author describes a series of technical failures. Their Surface Pro X failed to boot, likely due to compressing the Windows partition in Linux. After fixing it, the Surface keyboard malfunctioned due to a loose connection. Their note-taking app, White Paper Notes, then failed to open. They discovered their Oracle Always Free server (purchased for 500 yuan) was down, with incomplete backups. The last backup was on July 3rd, and no backups existed for the 2c12g server's containers or application source code. This caused the loss of code, an AI Agent, and a promotional video for the app, which they had paid 50 yuan to promote on Bilibili. They warn against buying servers prone to account suspension, like Oracle and Azure. They advise running services in containers, backing up data to object storage, and packaging containers every two days. Ironically, their other data is safe, but their blog, which they moved to Alibaba Cloud for speed, is affected.

The author reflects on July 1st, marking the 105th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party and the 29th anniversary of Hong Kong's return, expressing blessings for the party, Hong Kong, and the nation. They are busy filling out college applications, watching videos, and avoiding other tasks due to time constraints. They mention being criticized for not exercising due to allergies, but prioritize applications and driving theory. They also plan to study English, Japanese, read, work on video projects, and blog. Feeling tired after a month of vacation, they note the endless cycle of busyness, from high school expectations to summer plans, and wonder about future thoughts.

A Day Trip to Hong Kong with Classmates on the Day Gaokao Results Came Out

The author recounts a day trip to Hong Kong with friends, initially planned before the early release of Guangdong Gaokao results. The day begins with a late start and a walk to the Ferris wheel, which is closed until noon. During a break, the author learns their score is 523, 30 points below expectations but still above the special control line. They attribute losses to English and geography. The group proceeds to take the Star Ferry, eat at McDonald's, and visit the Sino Centre, where the author buys a figure. After parting ways, the author explores Wan Chai and Causeway Bay alone, riding a tram and visiting a mall. They dine at a cha chaan teng and enjoy the evening view of Victoria Harbour before returning to Shenzhen, feeling tired and dehydrated. The day ends with the author's mother researching university applications.
