Who I am #11. 自由

Free Spirits

自由当然仅存于他们创作的那一瞬间、和我放松的那一瞬间,现实生活中的各种限制还是在。人都是不自由的,都是有责任和义务的。曾经的我以为我没有,只要好好活着就可以了,做想做的就可以了。但随着对世界的了解越来越多,我想我也有这样社会责任、和社会义务。我们一直推着社会往前走、社会也推着我们往前走,大家都需要出自己的一份力。不管大部分人怎么认为,我还是认为,没有人可以真正的逃脱他/她的责任、或者是命运、或者是所谓该做的事情,也就是来这一趟的意义。

Of course, freedom only exists in that fleeting moment when they’re creating—or when I let go and relax. In real life, all the limitations are still there. People aren’t truly free. We all have responsibilities and obligations. There was a time when I thought I didn’t—that as long as I lived well and did what I wanted, that was enough. But as I’ve come to understand more about the world, I think I do carry a kind of social responsibility, and social duty. We’re always pushing society forward, and society is always pushing us forward too. Everyone has to do their part. No matter what most people might believe, I still think that no one can truly escape their responsibility—or their fate, or what they’re meant to do. That, to me, is the meaning of being here at all.

I’m an independent creator based in California. My writing started from an urgent need to express. Back in school, I often felt overwhelmed by the chaos and complexity of the world—by the emotions and stories left unsaid. Writing became my way of organizing my thoughts, finding clarity, and gradually, connecting with the outside world. Right now, I’m focused on writing and filmmaking. My blog is a “real writing experiment,” where I try to update daily, documenting my thoughts, emotional shifts, observations on relationships, and my creative process. It’s also a record of my journey to becoming a director. I’m currently revising my first script. It’s not grand in scale, but it’s deeply personal—centered on memory, my father, and the city. I want to make films that belong to me, and to our generation: grounded yet profound, sensitive but resolute. I believe film is not only a form of artistic expression—it’s a way to intervene in reality.

我是base湾区的自由创作者。我的写作起点来自一种“必须表达”的冲动。学生时代,我常感受到世界的混乱与复杂,那些没有被说出来的情绪和故事让我感到不安。写作是我自我整理、自我清晰的方式,也逐渐成为我与外界建立连接的路径。我目前专注于写作和电影。我的博客是一个“真实写作实验”,尽量每天更新,记录我的思考、情绪流动、人际观察和创作过程。我正在重新回去修改我第一个剧本——它并不宏大,却非常个人,围绕记忆、父亲与城市展开。我想拍属于我、也属于我们这一代人的电影:贴地而深刻,敏感又笃定。我相信电影不只是艺术表达,它也是一种现实干预。
