A communication engineer’s year-end summary is actually like this

The base station failed again, and I had no choice but to brave the snow and walk toward the distant tower.

It was a cold, lonely journey, but I had to keep going.

A rainy morning, standing at the threshold with one foot inside and one outside.

I was torn between staying and leaving, but in the end, I had to go for survival.

I left home, heading from south to north, through spring and into winter.

This wasn’t a vacation—it was a long wait, full of uncertainty.

I hoped for peace, for a return, and for a clearer path ahead.

I heard today that my plan has changed. I was worried all night, thinking about the approaching deadline.

If the project could move step by step instead of making big leaps, it would be much better.

Whether we change or not, the leadership’s opinions are fixed.

I either stay late in the computer room or take my laptop home and write reports under pressure.

Early summer arrived, but I still felt cold and sweaty.

My plan was constantly being adjusted, and I had to revise everything.

Responsibility didn’t feel like mine anymore. If I used to fight with a knife, now I’m just holding a stick—can I still do this?

I looked up at the wall calendar. Half a year had passed, and I gently tore off a page.

I knew the first half of the year wouldn’t meet the targets.

Wind and rain were everywhere, and I prepared for the storm.

Communication had to remain smooth, even if the signal wasn’t perfect.

Where there's signal, someone is waiting for you.

I stared at the lights outside the window, wondering where 5G is headed and how we can transform.

I traveled alone, enjoying the beauty of the world and tasting local food.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, will I be able to go home and reunite with my family?

I lay in the bed, watching the network at the scenic spot crash under the crowd.

I explained why I was leaving, hoping for the year-end bonus before I went.

What? Only half of the year-end award?

Don’t forget your goals. Fight harder next year!
