The Past and the Future Are Equally New [中]

Apr 13, 2026

I really like a line from Xu Zhiyuan: “The past and the future are equally new.”

Lately I keep getting lost in short videos and short posts across different platforms. I feel both bored and restless. In the earlier internet era, Weibo was just an intro — it led people to longer, deeper content. Now, these short forms have become the whole of content.

There is no platform anymore that curates great things from the past and puts them in front of me.

So I keep wondering: could we build a product that doesn’t chase trends, but instead selects high-quality content from the past and keeps presenting it to users?

I really need this.
