What I want to say is

Once again, I find myself splashing ink on the page, and it feels a bit embarrassing to be wasting so much cyberspace. Though there's no稿fee, I can't let the people forget that I am a romantic poet. Looking back suddenly, I realize I've managed to survive in society with shameless persistence until now. To sum myself up: society is like a marketplace, and when a person exists within society, they are essentially a person of the marketplace. Those who have transcended worldly concerns have already relocated their household registration to deep mountains and forests. Unfortunately, you and I mostly belong to the category of "small" people of the marketplace, so it's only natural that we have more private desires and pursuits. Besides, in the primary stage of socialism—a path all of humanity has traversed—we must also go through this phase. I'm no different; I've pursued material goods, though not in abundance, and I've sought spiritual fulfillment, though it still requires comfort. But fundamentally, I remain a harmonious note within the main melody.

The existence of society, I believe, cannot escape the essence of human beings as social creatures—like Taobao [a metaphor for communal exchange]. In society, those who passively lag behind are pitiable, while those who voluntarily drop out are proud. On a spiritual level, humans are complex composites, each with their own core values that differ from one another. Thus, the entire society resembles a kaleidoscope (though they're not sold anymore). Despite the variety of colors, everyone survives within a space that the collective can tolerate. What I want to say is, over these past few years, various events have unfolded before my eyes. As an independent individual, I've learned to sometimes follow trends (which means "birds" in Korean), other times transform into a hermit sage ("When did the moon appear? I raise my head to look"), and occasionally yield three steps ("To quarrel over trifles with others, how does one's capacity compare with those involved?"). As a "small" person, the things I've done are hardly worth mentioning, and naturally, the mistakes made along the way are also insignificant. From this perspective, my performance has been quite commendable.
