I was a handful when I was young: I had a crush on the class beauty, threw tantrums and rolled on the floor, skipped class and stayed out overnight, drank until I threw up blood, choked on cigarettes, and went through a 'shamate' phase—the loud, scene-style look that once spread across Chinese social media.

I’m 代代付, male, 34. (The 30, 31, 32, and 33 are all crossed out now.) I call myself a pseudo-literary type. I’m not a native of Guiyang, Guizhou. I don’t gamble or smoke, but I do enjoy a drink now and then.

Games I’ve played: Fantasy Westward Journey, Audition Online, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Red Alert, Counter-Strike, QQ Speed, Dou Dizhu, and Sanguosha.

After I started working, I got seriously hooked on Honor of Kings. Then my son saw me playing, and I worried he’d copy the habit and get addicted, so I uninstalled it without much ceremony. I’ve now quit all games.

I’m a big fan of Luo Yonghao—his clear sense of right and wrong and his habit of getting back up after losing. I was once a heavy user of Smartisan phones and a devoted fan of Smartisan OS.

My taste in film and TV is fairly light and clean. I’m a devoted fan of high-quality Chinese animation such as Soul Land, Battle Through the Heavens, The Legend of Qin, and Perfect World.

I love Hayao Miyazaki’s entire body of animated work.

I enjoy tinkering with odd and interesting things on the internet—software, source code, websites, and more.

I’m more emotional than rational. I want to be an idealist, and I hope to be a light that shines on other people.

The name

代代付 has been my handle for more than ten years online, and I’m still fond of it. It sounds like 代代富—wealth, generation after generation.

The blog

Why I started an independent blog, and a few other things I wanted to say, belong in a separate welcome note.

Here’s the short timeline:

Quite a few friends keep asking for the RSS address. I figure the blog might be worth at least a little subscription, so I’ll keep the entrance link here for reference.
