About this Blog

This blog is the personal blog of Zuojin the Tiger. 

You can find articles by Zuojin the Tiger in this blog, which are mainly about physics (my profession), sociology (my calling) and film as fine art (my hobby).

I would expect to update one article every two months. But it is not exceptional if my job keep me away from blogging.

The blog was previously a self-host WordPress blog named Simba on Diet and was moved here in August 2023.

About Me

My pseudonym is Zuojin the Tiger, written as 瘦虎左进 in Chinese. As a native Chinese speaker, I use Chinese as the starting point of my pseudonym. 瘦虎左进 contains four Chinese characters, 瘦 means thin, 虎 means tiger, 左 means left, 进 means progressive. However, 左进 can be seen as a name, where 左 is a family name and 进 is the given name. So the pun is that the pseudonym can be understood as a thin tiger named Zuo Jin, or a thin tiger progress to the left. The former is a rather neutral term, while the latter has political meaning indicating my stance (left in economic and progressive in culture). I am heavily influenced by Michel Foucault, Herbert Marcuse and Louis Althusser. 瘦虎 is my nickname because that I was born on the year of tiger and I am thin.

I am currently a PhD student in Physics. You can reach me at contact ~[ AT ]~ zuojinthetiger.com
