After fifteen years, I logged into the Cat Paradise BBS station again.

They all say, “If you have a dream in life, build your dream with a solid foundation.” But the reason why a dream is a dream is that most of the time we can only hang it high in our hearts and not dare to imagine that one day it will come true…

It seems that since childhood, I have been particularly fond of certain universities. In addition to National Taiwan University, which is my favorite, I also like National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, National Chung Cheng University in Chiayi, and National Chung Hsing University in Taichung. What’s interesting is that I originally liked these schools for different reasons, but unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to attend them (well, luckily I finally set foot on Coconut Grove Boulevard).

Although I failed to squeeze into the narrow gates of these universities, I have traveled around BBS sites such as Chengda Cat Paradise, ZTE Tianshu, and ZTE Legal Business Polaris. I even served as a storyboard host and webmaster at the Cat Paradise BBS station. Looking back now, it is such a wonderful memory.

Two days ago, my Exclusive Interview (opens in a new tab) was published on the “Dateline (opens in a new tab)” website of “World Magazine”. I still remember that when I was interviewed by He Zewen (opens in a new tab), he especially wanted me to talk about my previous career development, so I started from the beginning, starting from the time I entered the workplace after graduating from a junior college. I also shared how I gradually changed my career path from an electronic engineer to the Internet industry and media, serving as a product manager, producer, reporter and editor-in-chief.

Once this report was published, many friends exclaimed again and again. Many people were surprised by my cross-border development. Not only did I work as an electronic engineer and programmer, but I even published a novel?

Yes, I have not only published computer books and business management books, but also written many stories and novels. I was fortunate enough to serve as the storyboard master and webmaster of the Cat Paradise BBS station of the Department of Materials Science and Technology at National Cheng Kung University in the era when Internet literature was surging in Taiwan!

Although writing is still my favorite now, I am also very lucky to be able to work in “Economic Daily (opens in a new tab)” and “Independent Comment@天下 (opens in a new tab)” media write columns, but I can never forget my literary creation, and I also hope to start serializing novels again. Recalling the happy days of writing in the Cat Garden, my eyes are red…

Hey, Catland, I’m back.
