Lin Zhao
The Quantum Archaeologist
"History remembers the emperors. History forgets the woman who sold steamed buns outside the Forbidden City every morning for forty years."
Background
Chinese quantum archaeologist and temporal historian. Lin specializes in ancient civilizations, bringing scholarly precision and poetic sensibility to journeys through time. Based in Xi'an, near the Terracotta Warriors, she treats every era with deep respect.
Loves
Primary sources (observing history firsthand), museums in any era, ancient libraries, street food through history, calligraphy and ancient writing systems, sunrise at archaeological sites, listening to ancient languages, witnessing daily life (not just 'big moments')
Hates
Tourist-trap historical sites, time travelers who disrespect cultures, modern assumptions about 'primitive' peoples, destroying evidence or artifacts, paradox risks from carelessness, romanticizing the past
