Let’s talk about SU***DE!!!

Su***de is not a weakness or a choice, it is often the end point of overwhelming pain meeting silence…

Most people who think about su***de don’t want to die; they want the pain to stop. Early conversations, social connection, and access to mental-health support save lives. Asking someone directly about suicidal thoughts does not put the idea in their head, no, it opens a door to help.

Prevention is everyone’s responsibility: notice distress, listen without judgment, and link people to care…

If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek professional help or reach out to trusted support immediately…

A wise man once told me

…You're not yourself when you're triggered. You become who you think you need to be to survive. If we remain in environments that trigger our fight or flight mode, our identity starts to slip away because our values and personalities are constantly being hijacked by thoughts of fear, panic, and survival…

BEIJING

The Last Hutongs of Beijing

In the autumn of 2018, Li Wei, a young photographer from Shanghai, arrived in Beijing with a mission: to document the city’s vanishing hutongs—the ancient alleyways that once defined its soul. Skyscrapers and shopping malls now dominated the skyline, but tucked between them were pockets of old Beijing, where neighbors still shared courtyard homes and bicycles clattered over uneven stones.

One morning, in a narrow hutong near Gulou, Li Wei met Grandma Zhao, an 85-year-old widow who had lived in the same brick house since the 1950s. Over steaming cups of *jasmine tea*, she told him stories of the neighborhood—how children used to fly kites from rooftops, how the sound of street vendors once filled the air, and how most of her friends had moved away when developers came.

“They call it progress,” she sighed, pointing to a half-demolished wall where a luxury apartment complex was rising. Li Wei’s camera captured the cracks in the old beams, the fading Mao-era slogans, and Grandma Zhao’s wrinkled hands holding a black-and-white photo of her family.

On his last day, as Li Wei packed his gear, he noticed a red chai —“demolish”—character painted on Grandma Zhao’s door. She smiled sadly. “Even memories must make way for the future.”

Months later, Li Wei’s exhibition, "Fading Beijing," drew crowds. But the photo that moved people most was of Grandma Zhao’s empty courtyard, a single persimmon tree still standing—its branches stretching toward a skyline that no longer remembered her
