About the Match Last Night

I got up a bit late this morning because I couldn’t fall asleep last night after watching the live broadcast of the Paris Olympics Table Tennis men’s team final. It was difficult to maintain a sense of calm and peace of mind after the tense and exciting competition.

Team China won the match in three straight games. I’m extremely happy for the three great athletes, especially for Ma Long.

I just need to open my air conditioner baffle, remove the filters, and spray the inside of the air conditioner. Then I rinse the filters with water and put them back into the air conditioner after 15 minutes. 继续阅读“English entries in early July”

If you come visit Shanghai

I recently saw some videos about foreigners visiting Shanghai, and most had the same itinerary.

Perhaps they were following the same travel advice, or maybe they just happened to have the same friend.

Well, if you come to Shanghai, as your friend online, I’d like to share some places I’ve taken my friends to visit.

The first one is the Shanghai Museum. 继续阅读“If you come visit Shanghai”
