Who Is Jacky, the Author of 網絡暴民 Jacky's Blog?

Updated

Jacky is the author of 網絡暴民 Jacky's Blog (jacky.seezone.net), a long-running personal blog written in Chinese. The blog's own anniversary posts show it has been running for at least eighteen years, and Jacky uses it mainly for personal reflections, reading notes, and commentary on films, books, and technology.

What the blog reveals about Jacky

The available page evidence comes from the blog's own posts, so the picture of Jacky is drawn from what he has published there:

  • A long-term blogger. Posts titled "十八年" (Eighteen Years, Feb 18, 2022) and "十七年" (Seventeen Years, Feb 1, 2021) mark the blog's anniversaries, indicating he has maintained it for close to two decades.
  • Writes in Chinese. The posts are written in Chinese, even though the site's declared language is en-US.
  • Reflective and personal in tone. In "十八年" he describes the blog as running at a low level of activity ("流水帳" and "網摘"), notes that he still reads but finds it hard to write notes, and reflects on the pandemic and the wider mood, suggesting a more stoic outlook focused on what can be changed.
  • Interested in books and ideas. Several posts are reading notes ("開卷筆記"), covering titles such as Permanent Record (Snowden's memoir), Why We Sleep, The Fountains of Paradise, The Truth Machine, and books on science fiction and humanity's future. He also posted a 2019 reading summary, mentioning 38 books read that year.
  • Interested in film, theatre, and anime. Posts discuss TENET, Akira, Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, a National Theatre Live production of Frankenstein, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
  • Engages with publishing platforms. A 2020 post, "試Matters發佈," describes experimenting with publishing to Matters via a Likecoin WordPress plugin. Posts also note cross-posting to Medium, Matters, X, and Mastodon.

How to read the blog

If you want to understand who Jacky is or follow his writing, the practical approach is:

  1. Go to jacky.seezone.net and open the anniversary posts ("十八年," "十七年") — these give the clearest sense of his voice and the blog's history.
  2. Browse the "開卷筆記" reading-note posts if you are interested in his book commentary.
  3. Check the linked platforms (Medium, Matters, Mastodon) if you prefer to follow him where he cross-posts.

What the evidence does not establish

The available material does not give Jacky's real name, profession, location, or any biographical details beyond what he shares in posts. It also does not indicate pricing, subscriptions, or login requirements for the site. Treat any claim about his identity beyond "the blog's author" as unsupported by the source.
