One night in the summer of 1998, the bright moon hung high. 23-year-old Dong Qinfeng was lying in bed, with a thick "Computer Newspaper" on the bed. This year, Gao Chunhui's personal website entered the CNNIC ranking, claiming to be the first personal website in China. Therefore, Computer News selected him as one of the top ten netizens in China, and introduced this martial arts expert to readers for the first time in extremely inflammatory language. Many years later, when Dong Qinfeng met Gao Chunhui, he always jokingly said, "Without that report about you, there would be no personal homepage, let alone a forum for laggards. You are my old-timer and an evergreen tree of the Internet. " Gao Chunhui always smiled indifferently.

There may be another version of the original story, but Dong Qinfeng did set up a page almost the same as Gao Chunhui's personal homepage in 1998. The content of the page is mainly computer tools and software and some computer-related maintenance experience articles. The interface is simple and the framework is simple. At that time, this kind of page was regarded as the representative of non-mainstream types in the home page, and it was very popular among netizens because of its rich and practical content.

In fact, before surfing the Internet, Dong Qinfeng was already fascinated by computers. In 1992, he first came into contact with PC, taught himself for one year, and spent two years in an enterprise doing so-called computer informatization. Later, he felt that he could not learn anything. In 1995, he simply plunged into a computer company to work. In 1996, by chance, he got a local free online test account and officially came into contact with the Internet. At that time, he was in charge of computer maintenance in computer companies and began to collect some commonly used software from time to time. By 1998, when surfing the Internet became convenient, he spent more than 11 hours surfing the Internet almost every day, soaking on the Internet day and night. He constantly updated his accumulated and newly collected software to his personal homepage for users to download.

around p>2111, domestic chat rooms became popular. Dong Qinfeng relentlessly rented the commercial space of Wanwang and started a chat room. However, due to the excessive consumption of server resources, it was not long before the chat room was forcibly closed by Wanwang. He said, "At that time, the chat room had already reached a certain scale, and about 211 people were online. It was a pity that it was closed, so I began to look around for free space."

From then on, Dong Qinfeng spent most of his spare time looking for free space online, except for some things that he could not refuse at work and personally. At that time, Netease, Sohu, etc. all had free resource introductions, but due to long-term non-update, many resources have expired. And Dong Qinfeng kept looking for, constantly updated, and wrote a detailed application strategy, and gradually established his own popularity. "At that time, I found a French all-round space, providing databases, supporting CGI/PHP/MYSQL, and more addon domain. Such free space was very rare at that time and caused a sensation at once." He recalled, "I was the first person to do this kind of thing in China at that time. I basically found out the excellent free space in France, the United States, Russia and other countries."
