Hello, everyone.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon move like a shuttle. Now, after two years of establishing this humble abode, on this joyous day, I write this article to express my thoughts and to encourage you all.
Beginning#
A blog, this is how I understand it literally: "bo" means "many" and "ke" means "guests". With the help of Wikipedia, Baidu Baike, and others, we can quickly understand its meaning, but it is still not simple enough. You will find that all blogs have one thing in common: the main content is the blogger's articles, and they are long articles. This is the biggest difference between blogs and "microblogs" like Sina Weibo and WeChat Moments. Two years ago, I made my first commit to GitHub for my blog. At that time, I saw it as a tool for practicing Chinese, so I directly put it on GitHub Pages. But now, I tend to see it as my "cyber diary" to record my life and share my achievements.
Journey#
In these two years, I have become a member of the Ten-Year Covenant, joined the Kaiwang team, and tried my best to contribute to the open-source community.
I have met many bloggers. I saw a new junior high school student who had his own blog on Fanke at the age of ten, just like Lin Lin once did. It seems like I have traveled back to the millennium that I have never experienced before and witnessed the "blossoming" of personal blogs. However, the requirement in most provinces in China that the person in charge of website filing must be at least 18 years old sometimes makes me wonder if "underage people in China are not worthy of building websites" and if the requirements for website filing in China are too strict.
Challenges#
Personal blogs will inevitably face two "challenges": speed and traffic. Let me give you two examples. Yunyoujun solved the problem of page loading speed by using domestic CDN and developing Valaxy, which uses Vue.js and Vite.js as frameworks. Sukaka rebuilt his blog using Next.js and hosted static files on Cloudflare Workers Site, and made many targeted optimizations. Yunyoujun and Sukaka, as members of the Element Plus team and the core developers of Hexo, respectively, have a large number of technical articles on their blogs. In addition to the high quality of their articles, they naturally have considerable traffic. Their personal projects (such as air conditioners, themes, etc.) also help drive traffic to their personal blogs to some extent.
Conclusion#
I don't have many skills, so naturally I can't write technical articles. I treat my blog as a diary, and this is one of the reasons. There are still eight years left. What will future me think when looking back at everything I have written?
May we all strive together.
