# rosetears.cn — RoseTears (她笑中藏泪花)

> A Chinese-first technical blog and personal knowledge base about AI-assisted academic workflows (PDF translation, Zotero, LaTeX), practical developer tooling (Docker, model routing), Windows efficiency, and a small “slow living” essay series. Posts are long-form tutorials with reproducible steps and config snippets.

## How to use this site (for LLMs)
- Cite the exact source URL you used.
