The author of this book is Mr. Cai Lan , who is 80 years old. Together with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, and Huang Fei, he is also known as the "Four Talents in Hong Kong" . Compared with the other three talents, I am relatively unfamiliar with Mr. Cai Lan. Yes, but after reading this book, I was amazed. I didn’t expect someone to write about food so fascinating. Even me, who has no research or interest in food, can read it with relish. I have tried to read other famous food writers in the past. However, Mr. Cai Lan's brushstrokes are very relaxed and comfortable. From his words, you can feel the unrestrainedness of life, whether it is with friends. Gathering and chatting, travel experience, food observation, life experience, etc., can all become interesting stories written by Mr. Cai Lan. There is no cliché and no preaching of relying on the old to sell the old. It is like making a cup of tea in an afternoon and listening to the old gentleman beside him. We talk about his own philosophy of life.

This book is divided into five chapters, namely "Good Things in the World",​​"Delicious in the World", "Fun in the World", "Love in the World", and "Laughing at the World" . At first glance, each article seems to be just the author. My own mood and daily documentary are all the author's impressions after years of hardening. Through the dialogue and interaction between many people, these life philosophies are brought out, and many of them are related to the names of those who have just passed away. The interaction of writer Ni Kuang, if Ni Kuang fans want to know the private life of the great writer, they can also get a glimpse of some appearances from this book.

In addition to being good at depicting cooking and enjoying delicious food, Mr. Cai Lan also put forward his own opinions on the topic of love. He believes that as long as he is not married for one day, there is no problem of loyalty, it is just a matter of choice! Just like when we eat something for the first time and think it’s a delicacy in the world, it’s because we haven’t tasted other delicious food. Of course, the author is not trying to excuse the fussy behavior, but from the perspective of human nature, it doesn’t make sense. When you communicate with a person, you have to guard the other person and have no other choice, right? ! Of course, under the principle of not hurting others, we don’t need to be attached to anyone or anything, and don’t think that others must choose us. Also, when we were broken up in love, we always said that we couldn’t live without anyone. Now we don’t either. Are you living well?

After reading this book, I can fully understand why Mr. Cai Lan holds an unshakable position in the hearts of many people. When an elder has an open mind and does not need to criticize and despise young people, he will definitely make people listen to him. Entering his advice and winning respect, I agree with Mr. Cai Lan's book that treats people with sincerity and does not deliberately offend others, and gets along with friends indifferently and not deliberately. Respecting each other is the best relationship.

We are very fortunate to read this book, and I admire Mr. Cai Lan's wisdom in life. We can get a lot of firm support in this book, and we can also perceive our own contradictions from it, and unknowingly inject an open-minded outlook on life into our own blood. I believe that every day in the future will feel brighter than ever before.

Quotes from this book:

There are two kinds of wealth: one is money; the other is to cultivate interest and accumulate life experience. For me, the latter is more important than the former.

No one can bind your mind. An occasional indulgence is a good thing. But to indulge, you must first learn to clean up. If you can't clean up, you are not qualified to indulge. Uncontrollable indulgence is an instinctive impulse. The indulgence that will be cleaned up is improvisation.

The most important thing a person needs to save in his life is to tell the truth.

There is no contradiction between being serious and being chic, because if you are not rigorous, there is no condition for being chic.
