In 2021, I was invited by my friend Qiye, to design a central building in the center of the creative industry park that I renovated for him. However, we are both spaced out those days as our wives are facing a similar dilemma. We are distracted yet tried to take our minds off anxiety by working, but it was hard to fully concentrate.
