2025 Annual Summary

Foreword

If you ask me how 2025 is going , I might say it's both awful and incredibly enjoyable. Why awful? The reason is I still don't have a job and am staying at home, which means I have no income. On top of that, the stock market has been beating me up. As for the enjoyable part, having no job is a blessing in itself, it allows me ample time to do what I like to do.

Life

As the saying goes, life always is repeating. This year , my life was quite simple. My daily routine revolved around playing games, watching movies and TV shows, trading stocks and study English. In March , I determined to lose my weight and made It within two months. July brought two trips. I had two travels. Oh, and I almost forgot that I went on quite a few blind dates throughout the year as well.

Work

After being out of work for so long, I've started to feel like that I'm running away job hunting and can no longer get into a working mindset, it is quite terrible to me. In China, you probably don't know, from an HR perspective, a gap in your resume can be as negatively as time spent in prison . So it's difficult to find a new job in the future. How the hell anxious it is!

Stock

This has been the worst-performing trading in recent years for me. I lagged the ShangHai Index nearly by 25%. Frankly, it crusted me. Sometimes, effort seems futile--it all comes down to making the right choices.

Blind date

I'm sick of Blind date, but it seems necessary to keep the family relations harmonious. However, I'm willing to share a couple of interesting stories from my experiences. Part1 I once met a women who was 4 years older than me, when we talked to about splitting the bill, she agreed it was quite appropriate way. After we went our separates, I texted to request my share, she didn't reply. Instead, she told the matchmaker, which led to me getting an earful from parents. The next day , he finally texted back, calling me cheap, and sent me a screenshot showing she had donated 'my share' of the money to charity. Part2 Another woman I barely knew would constantly send me short videos about “family values,” “duty,” and “wealth.” I made it clear I wasn't interested, but she wouldn't stop. Later, she insisted on meeting in person. Eventually, I turned down the meeting, but she kept bothering me with endless questions. Of course, maybe I'm a freak , who knows? But given how things are going, I have a feeling I'll be on my own for a long time yet.

End

If life were only about earning money , then my 2025 would count for nothing, but I don’t see it that way. This year, I've gotten much happiness , my cooking skill have improved, my English is also progressing step by step.

Wishing the whole family health and happiness in the new year!
