走暗路，耕瘦田，进窄门

About Me

I am Wuchuan (Velan), a one-man system builder walking the path of a 'Super Individual'. This is my story, my philosophy, my iteration path, and my thoughts & practices on building the personal system Zenvel.

Who I Am

Hello, I'm Wuchuan (Velan).

The name "Wuchuan" (无川) draws inspiration from Daoist philosophy, symbolizing the "uncontending flow." It represents the core principle I practice: Act without contention, simplicity holds the Way.

I am a "one-man system builder," based in Beijing, currently on an exploratory journey evolving from a "coder" to a "Super Individual." This blog (zengfeiyang.com) serves as the launch point and logbook for this path, documenting my practices, thoughts, and pitfalls.

My Goal

This conviction for exploration stems from deep reflection (around the age of thirty-five or thirty-six) on my direction for the next 5 to 10 years—I aim to become a business entity that is not dependent on or limited by any specific platform or organization, capable of directly facing the market and independently creating value and receiving returns. This is what I understand as a "true Super Individual."

My Path

To achieve this ultimate goal, I've planned a clear evolutionary path from "employee" to "independent business entity":

Coder —> Indie Developer + SEO —> MVP Super Individual —> Super Individual

The core of this path lies in Indie Development (building the technical system) and SEO (building the business and influence systems). My opening manifesto elaborates on this:

Why "Indie Development + SEO"? — My Super Individual Manifesto

My System & Practice

Supporting this path is a personal operating system I am building— Zenvel.

Zenvel (https://www.zenvel.io) is the productized manifestation of my personal philosophy (Rationality · Order · Self-Drive). It aims to empower individuals to build clear, efficient, and self-driven systems through a Learn (Principles) -> Build (Tools) -> Create (Practice) approach.

On this blog, you can delve deeper into how this philosophy translates into practice:

  • In the System module: I explore in-depth how to apply Zenvel principles to build the technical, business, and influence systems required by a "Super Individual."
  • In the Case Studies module: You can see real project reviews (like CompressImage, NanoBananaEdit) and industry teardowns where I put these concepts into practice.

My Toolbox

A craftsman must sharpen his tools to do good work. Believing in "simplicity holds the Way," these are the core tools I currently rely on:

  • AI Assistants: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude
  • Knowledge Management: Notion, Feishu (Lark)
  • Writing: Typora
