Today's homepage is all about Changsha's Liberation West, which aligns pretty closely with my impression of this city's culture.

Let me tell you about Changsha from my perspective — a city with very distinctive "characteristics."

I went to Japan in 2019 after I stopped streaming, and then I flew directly to Changsha. That was my first exposure to the concept of blockchain in my life. Actually, what I was playing was fund pools — I came into contact with Qibao, Flashstep, Quifenlei, Chaininfo, and a few other projects that were particularly famous at the time.

Before that, my world only consisted of League of Legends streaming. Then during 2019-2020, I went to Changsha probably 7 or 8 times.

First of all, when you go to Changsha, the most famous thing is definitely eating crayfish. The bosses would take everyone to Wen and You. Honestly, whether it tastes good or not doesn't really matter — if you go to Changsha, you have to check in there.

After eating and drinking your fill, you absolutely have to experience the local specialty — going to a Changsha KTV. Honestly, my cousin has traveled far and wide, but Changsha's "touching and singing" is definitely one of the best in KTVs — they really know how to have fun! I'm from Changchun, and I'd still recommend everyone go to Changsha to experience it. Changsha is a city with extremely vibrant nightlife. Back then I used to call Changsha the "foot massage city."

At that time, basically all the popular projects launching on the market were starting in Changsha. A bunch of team leaders would get together just to eat, drink, and have (P)lay (D)ay.

My crypto trading started in Changsha — in a Flashstep boss's office watching him stare at the K-line chart. The first exchange I registered on was pretty tedious back then with real-name verification. You even had to hold a blank piece of paper with the date written on it, then I deposited money and bought $EOS as my first coin. It's all out of circulation now.

I had some name for myself in the project circle back then. Basically, whatever project I did, I stood out. At first, I was quite stubborn and single-minded — if I was doing something, I wanted to do it perfectly. I got hurt pretty deeply later on, but looking back now, it's actually quite an interesting memory from my life.
