The author uses delicate female writing styles and a childhood perspective to connect delicious delicacies for young readers. Rather than describing food, it is better to describe the faint taste, which is long and timeless, becoming an endless red thread. It embodies the love of the elders, is filled with deep family affection, and represents the understanding of "home" in traditional Chinese culture. Just like Feng Zikai's family paintings, they are flavorful and worthy of repeated reading by readers.
Reader comments
When I first started watching it, I felt it was very ordinary, but after watching it, I actually felt a little disappointed. And, big cities are really different. The author was born in 1971. Her childhood spanned from 1971 to 1981, and the foods she wrote about were something I had rarely seen in periodicals. Of course, another very important reason is that she is the only child in the family. The only child, cherished and brought up, certainly had more.
I usually read novels with Eggplant, but I didn't expect that I could also read something serious.
Delicate and simple narrative, eating together is the connection between people, the bits and pieces of life, the longing for beauty, and the happiness of childhood. As we age, we seek out the flavors in our memories more and more.
This book takes the author's childhood as a line and depicts a series of delicacies that the author ate during his childhood. It involves a series of characters such as mother, grandmother, neighbor aunt, etc., With sincere emotions and detailed content.
The author's writing style is very contagious. He describes the beauty and delicacies of his hometown in detail, and the detailed process of the delicacies is very comprehensive. Grandma's love is selfless, great, sincere, and irreplaceable by others. Childhood is really beautiful, we were carefree at that time. Our grandparents pampered us, opening our mouths when we had food to eat, and reaching out when clothes came to us. They really take care of us every day like a nanny.
The book describes various childhood foods in detail, from street snacks to meals cooked by elders in the family. Every taste is filled with memories and emotions. Those simple but extremely delicious foods seem to take us back to that innocent era, allowing us to feel the carefreeness, warmth and happiness of childhood again. It is not only a record of food, but also an affectionate memory of the passing time. It is touching to read and will be remembered for a long time.
