Talent is not enough; hard work makes up for it.
I originally did not want to write an end-of-year summary, but after thinking about it, I decided to write down a few words. At the end of 2024, I still continue to write.
Last year, I watched a movie that I couldn't forget for a long time, "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles," which depicted the tumultuous life of Li Bai.
Chang'an was once a dream for everyone, and "thirty thousand miles" symbolizes everyone's journey in pursuing dreams during the "Great Tang" (Chang'an).
There was a character in the drama that left a deep impression on me, Pei Shier; she disguised herself as a man, exuding grace and heroism, and when she competed with Gao Shi in swordsmanship, at the moment she won, she took off her cloth hat, and in an instant, silver hair filled the screen as she softly recited:
"The pear blossoms intoxicate in the spring colors, and the clear stream plucks the night strings. The beautiful time cannot be repeated, and the wind and rain seem to stretch like years."
Indeed, there is a similar Tang poem titled "On the Jade Spring Stream": "The red leaves intoxicate in the autumn colors, and the clear stream plucks the night strings. The beautiful time cannot be repeated, and the wind and rain are as distant as years." Signed by the Xiangyi woman.
There are many talented women who are unrecognized in every era.
I have also experienced confusion; unemployment, being abandoned by my partner, being psychologically manipulated by my loved one, not knowing where my future lies, crying in pain, feeling like I was done in the blanket at home.
However, in the past month on the blockchain, I have seen new possibilities, leading me to realize what true female empowerment is. Because I hold countless codes that command the respect of men. That feeling is that when you seriously study something, you really can achieve a sense of accomplishment in return. Those who used to criticize me as a 'dog-lover' have all come back; they send me messages saying they want to join my group.
At that moment, I realized that being a 'dog-lover' is not such a bad thing, as long as it leads to results. At that moment, I realized that true female empowerment and awakening of thought do not come from expressing so-called gender antagonistic language, but from genuinely having the ability to uncover codes. This way, no one will look down on you just because you are a woman.
