Why I Started Writing Public Notes
The value of a personal blog is not replacing platform traffic. It is preserving the judgments that matter over time.
AI translated from the Chinese source text.I am not building this site because I believe personal blogs will become the center of content distribution again.
Most reading still happens on platforms: WeChat, Zhihu, social feeds, newsletters, and recommendation systems. A personal site does not naturally bring traffic, and it is not the best place to chase trends.
But it has another value: accumulation.
Platforms are good for discovery. A personal site is better for understanding. Platform posts disappear into timelines. A personal site can stay as a public archive of what I think, build, and learn.
I want this site to hold three kinds of material.
The first is writing: AI agent practice, how finance people can understand AI, investment research notes, HK/US market observations, and career decisions.
The second is projects: One-sentence Ledger, OpenClaw Agent, market liquidity observation tools, and more small experiments. The point is not to collect buzzwords. The point is to show real work.
The third is personal material: a resume entry, representative essays, representative projects, and contact links. If someone wants to understand me quickly, they should not need to search across many platforms.
So the positioning is simple:
This is not a traffic funnel. It is my personal knowledge site.
The Chinese version is the source text. English versions will be AI-translated or rewritten for clarity, and clearly marked. That keeps the original thinking intact while making the site easier to read internationally.
