我是一个很普通的80后，但我普通的家庭小背景和时代的大激流为我冲刷出我独特的内心和面貌。坚韧而努力的父母不仅给了我健康的身体，也是我心态稳定、内核自信的根源；从学校到社会职场历经的时代变革则教会我保持客观理性和谦逊低调、常常反思内省并且保持开放学习。

I am an ordinary child of China's post-80s generation — but an ordinary family and an extraordinary era shaped who I am. My resilient, hard-working parents gave me not just health, but a steady mind and quiet confidence; the transformations I've lived through, from school to the workplace, taught me rationality, humility, introspection, and openness to learning.

我因为想突破一个小的生活圈子而选择了我的大学，与其说选择学校专业，不如说我只是坚定的选择了一个漂泊的方向。大学并没有真的让我学进去，我的"大学"开始于2006年加入仍是创业公司的同程做实习生的时候，截至目前，我仍在上"大学"。

I chose my university not for its name, but for the direction of drift it offered. University never truly taught me — my real "university" began in 2006, when I joined Tongcheng, then still a startup, as an intern. In a sense, I'm still enrolled.

同程是个意外，当时完全不在我头脑中极其有限的未来画面中，感谢互联网产业的发展，这个意外是时代的馈赠。然后我学会了自己制造意外，工作两年多后，我辞职去留学。那是一个我开始感受外界信号和内心信号的时期，我第一次听到了内心的声音——"视野是另一种学历"。从那时起，我的成长和我为自己设计的成长路线就一直是两种作用力结合的产物，一种是外界的输入，我努力听更多、看更多让自己有更好的消化能力；另一种是我内心的声音，我不停的发问和反问，让自己假设和决策，塑造着我真正的价值观和人格。

Tongcheng was an accident — nowhere in my narrow picture of the future. I owe it to the rise of China's internet; the accident was the era's gift. Then I learned to make my own accidents: two years in, I quit to study abroad. That was when I first heard my inner voice — "vision is another kind of degree." Since then, my growth has been the product of two forces: input from the world, which I take in widely and digest carefully; and my own questioning, which shapes my judgment, my values, and who I am.

对我的专业旅游管理来说，我满意自己见识和参与了产业链的尽量多的环节，对产业链的理解是丰满的，这算是我对自己专业的不辜负。对我的行业互联网来说，我庆幸自己经历了"周期性"，帮我把经济学理论的很多文字描绘映射进现实；也兴奋于自己通过互联网产品、运营的岗位进行创造性和优化性产出的过程。很多时候我想象自己是爸妈一辈更能理解的农民、工人、厨师、教师这些职业人，我种地、修零件、试验食谱、培养后辈，我的岗位让我体会了这么多种不同的职业画像。

I studied tourism management, and I'm glad to have touched nearly every link of that industry chain — a full, lived understanding. In the internet industry, I'm grateful to have ridden whole cycles, watching economic theory turn into reality; and I loved the creative, iterative craft of product and operations work. I often imagine myself in the trades my parents' generation understands — farmer, mechanic, cook, teacher. My roles let me live all of them: tilling soil, fixing parts, testing recipes, mentoring the young.

现在，AI时代。

And now, the age of AI.

有意思的是，就在这短短几个月时间里，我感觉自己像一个重新选专业的高中生了。我对AI时代的公司、岗位充满陌生和好奇，我相信自己即将接受社会的考核和选择，以及做出我自己的选择。我感觉时光倒流了一次，像《夏洛特烦恼》。

Strangely, these past months I've felt like a high-schooler choosing a major all over again. The companies and roles of the AI era feel unfamiliar and fascinating. I expect to be examined and chosen by the world — and to make my own choice in return. It feels like time folded back on itself.

我带着20年的记忆、回到了20年前的状态，看看这一次我跟AI一起会开启一段怎样的旅程。

I carry twenty years of memory in a twenty-years-ago state of mind — curious what journey AI and I will begin this time.
