Who I Am
蔡一峰?

This is truly a philosophical question, one that might not be possible to be answered. And yet people keep asking this question: during an interview, on every social media, in college applications, etc. I always have a hard time answering this question. Not only do we have multiple identities all of which are themselves fluid and unstable, but our lived experiences are so subjectively specific. So by asking who one is, it is in fact asking one to explore the complex set of cultural and historical consciousness. It cannot be answered in this short paragraph, nor in an article, a book, or even multiple books. Alas, the very process of writing and the passing of moments have already left traces on my existence and consciousness. Thus, I will just leave some "hard facts" on this page, which is what I usually tell the interviewer when they ask me the ultimate philosophical question.
