About This Novel
On the other side of the ocean, in Flushing, New York, celebrity chef Chen Cheng explained the art of gourmet food in detail with guests from his hometown. Chen Cheng has been cooking since he was a child. His uncle was his uncle. Later, he became a master and learned a lot about the art of cooking. His personal experience is also strange. He has always lived with his aunt in Shanghai since he was a child. He has little memory of his parents and sister's home in the Northeast. He studied art as a young man and received almost no school education. After the country opened, she and her sister immigrated one after another. The sister studied and was successful in her studies, while he used his skills to settle down and make a living. Their father, who was a widower, was also taken in to live with them. Life on the other side is certainly peaceful, but there are long shadows behind everyone. Looking back from time to time, I am filled with emotion.

I didn't expect that Wang Anyi could write such a tense and vital article in his later years.
