关于伊丽莎白二世逝世 / About the death of Queen Elizabeth II 

(For English translation, skip the Chinese part.)

打完喷射战士,睡前看了一眼新闻,发现英国女王去世了。

​我想,伊丽莎白二世除了作为英国女王,可能也象征了一代人。这一代人经历了二战,经历了战后重建,经历了冷战,经历了互联网革命,也经历了我们这一代小鬼是怎么加入又退出欧盟,怎么愚蠢又聪明地推动了各种各样的社会变革,当然,她也和我们一样,见证了新冠肺炎,见证了安倍遇刺,也见证了许多其他可笑而荒谬的事情。女王去世了,这一代人也逐渐消亡,接手的下一代未曾经历过战争,不曾亲身体会到生命的脆弱与自由的可贵。我们,会把人类文明塑造成什么样子呢?

​我不知道。我无从预测未来这个世界将向哪种方向发展,也不知道中国将会发生何种变化。但我对这二者皆持有悲观态度。

​逝者安息,R.I.P.

After playing Splatoon 3, I glanced at the news before went to the bed, and I noticed Queen Elizabeth II had died.

​I think, in addition to being the monarch of England, Queen Elizabeth II may also symbolize a generation. This generation has lived through World War II, through post-war reconstruction, through the Cold War, through the Internet revolution, through how our generation joined and left the European Union, and how stupidly and cleverly pushed all kinds of social changes. And, of course, she also, like us, witnessed the covid, witnessed the assassination of Abe, and a lot of other ridiculous while absurd things. The Queen passed away, and this generation also gradually passed away. The next generation who took over has never experienced a war (part of them, they do), and has never experienced the fragility of life and the value of freedom. How will we shape human civilization?

​I don't know. I can't predict which direction the world will take in the future, nor how China will change. But I am pessimistic about both.

R.I.P.
