When I’m searching for information online, I’ve found that regular search engines often fall short of my needs. For example, when looking for free e-books or specific videos on Bilibili, using Baidu or Google usually requires scrolling through many pages before I can find what I’m looking for. That’s why I frequently use various search aggregator websites. These sites integrate multiple search engines, allowing users to search across various platforms from a single page. Below, I’ll share four search aggregator sites I use frequently in my daily life, which significantly improve

For so many years, I’ve always cared deeply about how others see me and about success. It felt as though only my success could earn others’ admiration and understanding. I was laid off recently and have been unemployed for a little over a week now. I’ve been constantly afraid that others might think differently of me. But when I stop to think about it, people don’t really have any particular opinions of me—at most, they might offer some life advice. The real problem lies within myself. Deep down, I’m really struggling with this unemployment,

Today is April 2, and it’s my seventh day of unemployment. Although I found out about the layoff on March 5, I’m still feeling anxious.

During this period of adjustment after being laid off, I felt quite distracted every day. A friend told me I was too concerned about the value my job brought me and how the people around me perceived me; he said that even if I weren’t unemployed now, I’d still face this issue once I turned 30. My friend encouraged me to try finding value outside of work. He noticed that right after I was laid off, I was constantly fixated on why my former company had let me go instead of another colleague—even though I later explained to my
