A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

A visit to Taipei after Shanghai prompts Kefei to compare his impressions of movement and stagnation with his first year in New York. The anniversary of his transition becomes a chance to ask how much reflection has turned into action.

He connects writing, engineering, and curiosity about AI to a continued desire to contribute. The essay expresses a personal resolve to keep learning and designing a purposeful life after retirement.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
