Hope everything is getting better

Getting an injury is upsetting. I can’t do much besides lying in bed all day, so I’m trying to make some changes. Let me start by writing something.

Today, we’re talking about the Chinese College Entry Examination (CCEE). Every year, more than 10 million young Chinese students take the CCEE. It is extremely competitive and involves a lot of pressure.

This exam represents a unique culture in China, often described as “involution.” The CCEE, work, and many aspects of life feel like constant competitions or battles for everyone. You have to invest all your time and effort to achieve any kind of success. It is hard, especially for ordinary people. However, the problem is, what happens if you don’t work as hard as everyone else? I’m not sure. Perhaps there wouldn’t be any difference.

In the second part, I would like to discuss computers or machine learning, recording some technical insights.

Let’s talk about Python today. Python is a versatile and powerful programming language widely used in various fields, including web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing. Its simplicity and readability make it a favorite among beginners and experienced programmers alike.

One of Python’s most notable features is its extensive library support. Libraries such as NumPy and Pandas are essential for data manipulation and analysis, while TensorFlow and PyTorch are popular for machine learning and deep learning applications. Python also excels in automation, with libraries like Selenium and Beautiful Soup enabling web scraping and browser automation.

Understanding Python’s core concepts is crucial for leveraging its full potential. These include data structures like lists, dictionaries, and sets, as well as control flow mechanisms such as loops and conditionals. Additionally, mastering object-oriented programming in Python allows for more efficient and modular code design.

To get started with Python, you can install it from the official Python website and explore various online tutorials and courses. Practice is key to becoming proficient, so consider working on small projects or contributing to open-source initiatives.

In summary, Python’s flexibility and wide range of applications make it an invaluable tool for both personal and professional growth in the tech industry. Whether you’re interested in web development, data science, or automation, Python provides the resources and community support to help you succeed.
