Preface
2025-04-14 to 2025-04-20 life & records & thoughts & null
Cover photo taken at Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall in Huai’an, Jiangsu
New Camera
Taking advantage of the national subsidy (saved 2k), finally got the long-coveted Sony A7C2
Originally considered buying in Hong Kong and disassembling the package for customs clearance
But worried about potential customs taxation during future border crossings
Ended up purchasing the Chinese mainland version
Compact and stylish, using the 28-60mm kit lens
Will probably carry it for street photography frequently
Future cover photos will be taken with this camera
TODO: Camera photo
Jiangsu - Huai’an
Visited Huai’an, Jiangsu during Easter holiday
A small city with slow-paced lifestyle, quite relaxing
Loved Jiangsu cuisine - slightly sweet but delicious
Affected by recent sandstorms, air quality was poor with yellowish sky
Douglas Is Cancelled
Highly Recommended!!!
The most impressive recent TV series A story about news anchor Douglas facing career crisis due to a sexist joke Typical British black humor Compact 4-episode format with fast pace
Some Thoughts (Spoilers!) Open after watching
Discomfort
The most impactful scene in Episode 3: Toby’s intense sexual harassment towards Madeline Paradox of claiming feminism while undressing
Camera switching creates escalating sense of oppression Douglas’ attitude shift after seeing “Do Not Disturb” sign Madeline’s tearful eyes showing helplessness
Reflects concepts from “Misogyny” by Chizuko Ueno:
- Male solidarity in sexual harassment cases
- Victim-blaming rhetoric like “She didn’t say no”
Inappropriate “Joke”
Douglas insists it’s just a joke But his daughter’s disappointed expression reveals the truth
As Luo Xiang said: “If you wouldn’t tell a joke to your mother/daughter, don’t tell it to female colleagues/classmates”
Brave Madeline
Madeline’s calm and methodical counterattack Though such rational responses are rare in reality
Most victims get trapped in self-doubt This reflects the power imbalance trap in patriarchal society
