The Plan

Jia Yuanchun 賈元春

If I had one piece of advice to give to content creators, it would be this:

Be flexible.

You never know what your audience will demand — and you never quite know where your projects will take you.

We’ve reached the end of July 2025, and we’re finally almost done with the long run of 12 cryptic poems in chapter 5 of Dream of the Red Chamber. We’re not quite out of the woods yet, though. There’s more poetry to come in this chapter. However, we have just about made it through the most difficult part.

I thought this might be a good chance to give you a little preview of what I’m planning on working on in August.
