At that time, I felt that I couldn’t let those friends pay attention in vain. I hope that those who follow me can learn some knowledge from what I do. For example, I made a treadmill. Maybe they don’t need this treadmill. But they may need this governor. They need to adjust the time for something they make in the future.
