Me

My name is DongXu Zheng. I am currently a senior software engineer in HSBC, China. I major in Java back end.

With more understanding of software enginne, I found the theory used to describe a phenomenon is more and more elegant but in the same time complicated. I was happy about the Microservice, impressed by distributed system, struck by cluster technology and now mesmerized by python and go. I am aware that software requires much more than just java. In the same time I believe that with more programming language there will be deeper software enginne.

As for my current interest, on my CV I wrote:

I am interested in the internet technology. In a different perspective, I am also interested in how to Establish Cloud Ecosystem . I also like coding and enjoy sharing my thoughts.

Here is my CV (last update: 2019-03-16).

This Site

When I started writing on this website, I wanted to share notes on what I have learned. I benefited a lot from many insightful blogs and now I have something to give back. Watching my notes published on websites also gives me motivation and a strange consolation.

I also realized that this website can be used as a billboard of my professional backgrounds. This is a great proof for what I have learned.

The Name

I named this website “A Finger Pointing to the Moon”, as in the Buddhism story:

佛告阿难。汝等尚以缘心听法。此法亦缘。非得法性。

若复观指以为月体。此人岂唯亡失月轮。亦亡其指。何以故。以所标指为明月故。

岂唯亡指。亦复不识明之与暗。何以故。即以指体。为月明性。明暗二性。无所了故。

Which has been beautifully put by Bruce Lee:

It’s like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will all that heavenly glory.
