从2007年3月1日来到北京，我已经在北京生活了三年两个月，1157天。

2010年5月1日这天，我要去深圳了，一个没有冬天没有沙尘暴的城市，更重要的原因是老婆不能适应北京的气候，深圳是我们选择定居的城市。

在北京的三年，我们创建的P1.cn从品牌到会员数都有很大的发展，高质量的生活内容和Party也受到很多人的欢迎。在这期间我们换了3个办公室，从建外SOHO，到朝外SOHO，再从朝外SOHO到SOHO尚都。经历了初始创立，快速发展，现再到了努力坚持的阶段。经过一段时间的准备，我也安排好了工作交接，现在退出不会对P1的发展有影响。

这一个三年在北京有很多故事，走遍了北京的名胜古迹，参与了很多次社区活动。从ChinaonRails Open Course, Beijing Open Party, BetaCamp技术沙龙, QClub/QCon Beijing 等一系列映像深刻的社区活动中认识了很多同道的朋友，交流过程中受益颇多。虽然以后北京线下活动我不能参与了，但在这个信息时代，互联网依然会让我们距离很近。

昨晚P1的Founder们和几个同事为我饯行，都是从建外SOHO一起走过来的朋友，三年愉快的朝夕相处，源于我们对梦想的追寻，和对这份事业的执着。现在我要走了，祝大家好运。我心归心似箭，却又依依不舍。

去深圳以后做什么还没有确定。我打算先休息一段时间，停下来认真对过去这三年做个总结，思考下一个三年的计划，然后寻找新的工作机会。

再见了，北京的朋友们！
