The cover was taken over the weekend when we went to Qiao Village for lunch. Right at the door we saw two kittens basking in the sun, looking very comfortable and not afraid of people at all.

The cover was taken on a walk after lunch one day, when I came across osmanthus in full bloom and it smelled wonderful. Hangzhou is really comfortable this time of year and great for walks, and you can smell osmanthus almost everywhere.

The cover was shot with a drone while camping at Shuangxi in Jingshan over the weekend. The scenery was lovely overall, though I felt there were a few too many mosquitoes. Looking at all that green is nice, and I put the video near the end so you can take a look.

The cover photo is from a few days in Lingshui over the National Day holiday, a small city next to Sanya with the sea, few people, good snacks and not much commercial feel, though it was pretty hot those days.

The cover photo is from a restaurant upstairs at B1OCK in Tianmuli, where I went this weekend for a meal with beautifully presented food. I used to like eating there a few years ago. This time it felt more like an Instagram spot. The food was still decent, though I didn’t enjoy it as much as before, and quite a few dishes had changed, which was a little disappointing. These bottles were by the entrance, so I took a photo. I like the feel of it.

The cover photo is from my trip to the cinema this Saturday to see The Shawshank Redemption. It moved me and left me with a lot to think about, almost as if I could feel what it was like to watch it in a cinema back in 1994.

The cover was taken a few weeks ago in Shanghai, on a foggy evening just before dark. It has a real feel to it. The title should probably have been Fog Shanghai, that would have even more of that feel.

The cover photo was taken at the Zhejiang Museum over the weekend. I had gone to see the exhibition of the four bronze animal heads, but it was packed, so I walked through the regular halls instead and found something really beautiful. This sword, worn by the son of King Goujian of Yue, looks wonderful, and it made me think how good the taste of the Yue state was back then.

The cover photo was taken at the newly opened Hang Lung mall in Hangzhou, where I wandered around over the weekend. I had a cup of AITCoffee, which tasted pretty good, and spotted this paper window on the wall with the character for Song on it. I have been using this typeface on my product sites lately, and it feels quite classical.

The cover photo was taken during a weekend trip to the Valley of the Wind in Lin’an, where I took my kid to play in the water. The place is wide open, though there are lots of children and adults on weekends. My kid liked it. From a distance, the water had an unusual blue-green look. I took the photo by a large lake outside.

The cover photo was taken during a weekend CityWalk in Shanghai. I spotted a sign outside a shop called “Buzhuo,” meaning “not clumsy.” It reminded me of the saying “great skill appears clumsy”: someone may work in a plain way and avoid shortcuts, while carrying a lot of wisdom underneath. I hope my products feel the same.

The cover shot is a tiny potted plant sitting on the speaker on my desk, a brush cherry. It looks full of life and works well indoors, though its small leaves drop pretty easily. Still looks great, and I like my study having a bit of life in it.
