荒废了多年之后，又重新开始写博客。只是为了一个契机。

前天在和欢欢小朋友聊天，说起过苦日子的事。突然想起我外婆。她和说过，在她少女时候，正值抗日战争，国军军队行军经过她家，把家里用来喂猪的猪潲都吃光了。当时在湖南的战局确实焦灼了很久。白云苍狗，一晃已经过去了近百年，当时经过外婆家的那些士兵，不知道有几个人能平安的回家，有几个人又去了台湾。现在，外婆也过世10多年了，若干年后这段记忆碎片，将无人得知。

我想，我脑袋里有时候有一点点火花，所以应该记录下来。在大学时我开通过新浪博客，只是现在都访问困难。我写过一段时间的QQ空间，但是访问有权限。想来想去，还是自己搭建一个博客网站吧，我也是一个不怕折腾的人。GitHub是开源软件的大本营，应该持续的时间会比较久，网址就用它了。至于后人有没有兴趣，我就不管它了。毕竟现时代的一切最终都会湮灭。

今年我目前过得不是很顺利，去年投的一篇文章，被拒了多次，现在还在外审，专家还没有接。今年年初信心满满写了一篇文章，被目标期刊秒拒，现在转投在一个3区杂志，一个月了，连编辑还没有找到。普通话考了两次，第一次差2分就过了，第二次成绩反而降了一截。不管什么语言，发音确实是我的软肋，提升还不知从何着手。写写东西，或许能保持一下内心的平静吧。

Origin

After neglecting it for many years, I have decided to start blogging again. All it took was a simple conversation.

A few days ago, I was chatting with my daughter about tough times. Suddenly, I remembered my grandmother. She once told me that during her childhood, amidst the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Nationalist soldiers passing by her house ate all the pig slop. Indeed, the battle in Hunan was intense and prolonged. It's been nearly a century since then. I wonder how many of those soldiers made it home safely and how many ended up in Taiwan. My grandmother has been gone for over ten years now, and in a few more years, these memories will fade into oblivion.

So, I thought I should record the occasional sparks that light up in my mind. In college, I had a blog on Sina, but now it's hard to access. I also wrote on QQ Space for a while, but access was restricted. It seems better to set up my own blog. GitHub, being a hub for open-source software, might last longer. Whether future generations are interested or not, I don't mind. Ultimately, everything will fade away.

This year hasn't been very smooth. An article I submitted last year has been rejected multiple times and is still under review, with no experts taking it up. This year, I wrote another article with high hopes, but it was instantly rejected by the target journal. It's now with a Q3 journal for a month, and the editor hasn't even been assigned yet. I took the Mandarin proficiency test twice; the first time I almost passed, but the second time my score dropped. Pronunciation is indeed my weakness, and I don't know where to start. Writing might help keep my mind at peace.
