About the Editor
A new mother. A returning runner. A daughter, and an annoying reader who still gives harsh comments.
我是 Shan,一个产品经理、写字的、读书的,最近多了一个新身份:新妈妈。曾在 TikTok、Shopee 当 PM,半年前开启了一段新工作:WFH 5/5,上班和带娃共用一张桌子,我还在慢慢适应这种新节奏。
吾生皖南,少时慕书画文法,后习格物之学。
岁在甲午,习社会学,四人居一狭仄之室,寒暑往来,旦暮晨昏,始觉珍贵。
戊戌年,渡海至美东,折节向生物统计之学,求经世致用之道,增广见闻,欲以此驰骋当世。
及至大疫,感与惭并,庚子仲夏,终返故国。
壬寅孟春,申城缄制,去至南洋,远望当归。
每有所得,思之于心,则存之于目。
闲时常恣情山水,穷览朔漠,行幽谷大都;常著文章自娱,忘怀得失。

生于皖南,学于北京和纽约,浪迹过上海,如今工作和生活的物理活动范围,主要在赤道旁的小破岛(1°17′N, 103°50′E),非常崇尚互联网空间的侠客情结,常分享一些新鲜的可视化技术或统计tutorial。
传统意义上的人生里程碑,不应该成为日常生活的压力来源,上学/上班/结婚/生子/再升职,固定范式下的人生轨迹,大多围绕着这些里程碑展开,但事实上,从哪个学校毕业,在哪里工作,每年的年收入,只能勉力定义量化问卷里的模糊个体,个体的可贵在于每个人自身的独特性,在于当下的体验,在于对于情绪的掌控和多重角色的平衡。
I’m Shan, a product manager, writer, reader, and (newly) a mother. In 2020 I graduated from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. From 2020 to 2022 I worked at TikTok as a rookie PM; after being locked down in Shanghai for two months, I sought a new place to continue my professional life. I moved to Singapore and spent fifteen months at Shopee on cross-border e-commerce recommendation strategy until October 2023.
Six months ago I started a new chapter at a new company. Fully remote, 5/5. Work and home share the same desk. I’m still trying to adapt to the new tempo.
But occupational identity is a tiny facet of any of us:
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
-- Blowin' in the Wind, Bob Dylan

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
