The future is chaotic. Since we began to walk upright, such doors have opened five or six times.

This is the best of times; almost everything you think you know is wrong.

—— Tom Stoppard, "Arcadia"

My name is Twone, and I'm trying to help you understand me in just a few sentences.

I enjoy reading, writing, animals, and exploring the world, always with curiosity.

The name "Twone" was chosen by me at the age of 12. My Chinese surname is rare, and existing English names didn't capture my essence; thus, I created my own.

"Twone" sounds like "Two-one," similar to the pronunciation of my Chinese name, and represents the two characters with the fewest strokes in Chinese.

It also pays homage to my favorite Japanese novelist, Otsuichi, whose pen name derives from the model name of an engineering computer, "Z-1," he used.

Here are some conventional aspects of Twone:

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Economics from Minzu University of China and a master's degree in Government and Politics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

I am a certified intermediate economist, former product manager at BGI, and content product manager for Alibaba Health's Knowledge Graph.

Currently, I lead Uncommons (formerly Green Pill CN, https://www.uncommons.cc/), serve on the investment committee of GCC (https://www.gccofficial.org/), and I'm also one of the operators for the Gitcoin DeSci Round Q1 2024 and a multisig holder for DeSci Asia (https://t.me/DeSciAsia), dedicated to promoting DeSci in Chinese-speaking regions and Asia.

As a gaming enthusiast and a proponent of Autonomous Worlds, I am also developing independent games. I aim to use gaming as a platform to craft and convey narratives within autonomous worlds.

My first game is "Escape form Censorship" (https://github.com/0xtwone/escape-from-censorship).
