The annual summary is quite interesting (in my opinion). It allows me to calm down and review what I have done this year. I hope I can develop this good habit and summarize more.
I built this blog in the middle of the year and it has been almost half a year now. I haven't done much SEO optimization or thought about promotion. I just simply write some of my own things. The main reason is that my writing skills are too poor and I dare not let others discover it, haha.
I have had a fulfilling four years in college, learning things that I am interested in and cultivating hobbies such as traveling and hiking. However, I have only climbed Songshan Mountain (within Henan Province) because I studied in Zhengzhou. I haven't been to other famous mountains yet. I have set a plan for myself to climb Mount Tai within two years, but because of work, I dare not say that I will definitely have time in the short term. I want to experience the feeling of "standing at the top and overlooking all the other mountains."
However, I feel that my college life ended a bit anticlimactically. Due to the pandemic, the school prohibited entry and only allowed students to return in batches shortly before graduation. Many classmates did not get to see each other and hastily ended their college lives. So the graduation photos that I have been looking forward to were also gone. Originally, I had planned to take a group of interesting graduation photos with my friends. It is truly the biggest regret of this year.
Leaving campus, there are really fewer opportunities to meet. We mostly communicate through phone calls and video chats, each going our own way and getting busy with life.
2020 is a memorable year. It started with the outbreak of the pandemic in January and we have been on edge ever since. It is still spreading globally. Just a few days ago, I saw in the news that the situation in the UK is getting worse, with the virus mutating and cities being locked down again. I really hope this pandemic will end soon.
I don't understand why the control measures in foreign countries don't seem as strict. Maybe this is what they call "yearning for freedom." I hope everyone on Earth can take it seriously and fight against the virus together, ending this crisis as soon as possible.
This year, I came from Zhengzhou to Hangzhou, entering a new environment. I have a common goal with everyone at work and have learned a lot. However, there are also some regrets. I originally planned to read two books, but in the second half of the year, I only read "The Self-Cultivation of Full-Stack Engineers" by Yu Guo and "CSS World". I also wrote a book review recently, "Some Thoughts on Full-Stack" 《对全栈的一些思考》. In November, I bought "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" on a certain online platform, but due to lack of time, I didn't finish reading it.
Here, I set a small goal for myself: I must finish reading four books in 2021.
In terms of technology, I switched from Vue to React. I have to complain a bit here. React was developed by Facebook, while Vue was developed by Evan You. I feel that the logical thinking behind React is different from that of Vue. Vue's syntax is more in line with the thinking of Chinese programmers, while React is more in line with the thinking of foreigners. Since I am not a foreigner, I can't say for sure what kind of thinking it is, but I just feel that it is harder to understand than Vue. However, because of the company's requirements, I started working on React projects.
I hope to continue this in the new year, learning more technology stacks and doing better in the things I want to do.
I have been in Hangzhou for some time now. This city looks young and vibrant, probably because there is a large proportion of young people here. Occasionally going out and exploring, I can discover things that I couldn't before, broadening my horizons. I have to praise the scenery of West Lake, it is really beautiful. Walking on the Su Causeway and feeling the breeze can relax a person. When I am under a lot of pressure, I will go out for a walk. But it seems like traveling alone lacks some fun.
These days are Christmas. Although it is a Western holiday, I can also enjoy it. Here, I wish everyone a good ending in 2020, marking the completion of a circle, and welcoming the new year of 2021.
I took some time to write this summary, which is like watching a movie. I reviewed the plot and gained a different feeling.
Hello, myself. See you next year.
