Some European women in Shanghai Jing’an have already started researching how to improve their success rate when dating Chinese men:

Don’t try to force your facial features—highlight your figure and temperament instead;
Try to arrange dates at night when the lighting is dimmer;
Talk less and provide more gentle companionship;
Control your diet, do SPA treatments, and take the initiative to align with Chinese aesthetic preferences.

In the past, people said Chinese people worship a white beauty standard.

Now it’s the other way around:
Some people have started researching how to win over Chinese men.

When you’re blind dating and meet someone with this kind of face

Just turn your head and walk away

Don’t ask why

Earlier, the taxi driver chatted with me. He said that when the Russia-Ukraine war first broke out, he received a client who lived at Shenzhen Bay No. 1. In the car, the client called the other side and said, “Keep an eye on the news. If that place turns out to be on Russia’s side, immediately get rid of all the properties at Shenzhen Bay!” The driver sighed, saying that some people are able to make money within his own range of understanding.

Fields Medal, two Chinese people—this is too normal. We’ve said it already: the demographic delayed dividend. China will still be able to enjoy it for another 15 years. In the next 15 years, there will be nearly 100 million college graduates. Among them are many engineering and technical talents who have gone through the systematic gaokao education system and have solid foundational training; most of them will become key cornerstones for engineering. This is China’s biggest strength in manufacturing—besides its industries and supply chains. Then, even if China’s social system and values have significant disadvantages, it’s still because the base is simply so huge that, within this group, when you layer the talent pipeline accumulated over the past 20 years (graduates from 2005–2025) with the youth teams over the next 30 to 40 years (2005–2045), there will surely be a continuous stream of Nobel Prize winners. And there’s one X factor: artificial intelligence. Which country is best at putting AI into applications? It’s China. What is an AI Agent’s way of thinking? It’s architecture and application thinking. So the long-term AI dividend will be taken by China the most. So, hey—don’t keep singing the downfall of the Communist Party. Our old friend already told you with a knowing smile: the fate of a country isn’t just determined by individual effort; in most cases, it depends on the course of history.

Today I saw a quote—actually posted on an internal network—and it really shocked me.

“If being a good wife and a proper mother is a form of kidnapping for women, then being responsible and taking charge is a form of imprisoning men.”

That one copy got more than ten thousand likes. Of course, the comments were probably zero.

I didn’t expect that there are people with such sharp words even on the internal network. The land is renewed by new talents as the old ones pass on.”

In 2019, a student from Henan scored 536 points—34 points above the undergraduate first-tier cutoff.

He casually filled in Peking University’s national scholarship program, and as a result, he was admitted right at the cutoff line.

Peking University was stunned.

536 points to get into Peking University? The gap between his score and the usual admission cutoffs was nearly 140 points.

The university applied to revoke his admission three times in a row. Later, as public opinion gained momentum, they had no choice but to keep him.

Many people waited to watch him fail.

Some said he couldn’t keep up, others said he had taken someone else’s place, and still others claimed he would eventually drop out.

In the end, four years later, he secured a top-ranked position and got into Peking University for graduate studies without an entrance exam in his major; after graduating with his master’s degree, he continued on to pursue a PhD.

Only then did people realize:

What Peking University was truly worried about wasn’t that he couldn’t learn.

It was that everyone else thought he couldn’t learn.

The person who scored 536 points and entered Peking University was named Zhao Siqi.

Just saw someone exchanging foreign currency at a bank inside China. At the same bank, the same branch, and the same teller, the cash USD exchange rates were like this: Buy USD cash: 7.43 yuan RMB for 1 USD. Sell USD cash: 1 USD for 6.53 yuan RMB. The difference between the two is 0.90 yuan/USD. If an ordinary person completes one buy and then one sell at the bank, they lose about 12% instantly. Behind this phenomenon is not just a simple bank spread; it reflects the ongoing strengthening of foreign exchange controls, and a defensive reinforcement against bigger, more uncertain risks in the future.

Don't be too straightforward when you speak

Can you hear it so clearly?

At night we gathered with fellow villagers, and only then did I learn that the valedictorian in the sciences from my hometown in 2005 (a Tsinghua University graduate) is now the vice principal at one of the most top-tier high schools in Shanghai—one of the “top four”—and also leads the district’s math subject. He even compiled supplementary math textbooks.
😂

And our class—the county science valedictorian from 2008 (also a Tsinghua University graduate)—apparently started working on robots and AI quite early, and became successful as an entrepreneur (his company was acquired by a major giant), achieving financial freedom.

Plus another young attorney, Min Da, who earns over ten million per year (also a Tsinghua University graduate, though not from the same hometown as mine)…

It all feels a bit surreal and makes me sigh: true geniuses are always geniuses. They’re so strong it doesn’t feel like they’re from the same universe… and also… Tsinghua really is full of extraordinary talent and virtue.
