This novel was written ten years ago. When I am in a book shortage, I always dig it out and read it again. I personally think this novel is among the top ten in Jinjiang Literature City.
After thinking about whether to write it in this article or in "Shang Shan Shu", I finally decided to write a long review in this article. It seems to be my first time to write a long review. In order of reading, I read "Shang Shan Shu" first, and then I was touched by the author's great outlook on life, and then I read "Reluctant Heart" recently. In fact, it is very rare that I read this kind of work that makes me feel like I can see the sun through the clouds. I have to say that Xiaocao's writing is worth reading again and again, both in terms of writing and core. In these two articles, I can almost concretely feel Xiaocao's understanding of the true taste of life. First of all, I am very, very grateful to Xiaocao for bringing these two articles. I am very grateful that I read these two articles at such a time. I came across these two articles when I was at a low point in my life. Whether it was Song Wanzi's big pot full of smoke, or Shen Hexi's freedom and relief after she completely ended her unwillingness, they are extremely important to me. I seem to have caught something in these two articles, maybe not, maybe I have. It may take time in the future to see clearly what he has learned from Xiaocao. Xiaocao writes about food, writing about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar is life, and writing about the various flavors in the pot is also life. What impressed me most in "Reluctant Heart" was a passage before my brother competed in the competition. ——"Brother, what do you think is outside the door?" ——"It's just oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar." Perhaps many of the so-called sufferings in our lives are nothing more than grease, salt, sauce and vinegar. The synopsis of "Shang Shan Shu" is "If you take part in the human world, you will get smoke from heaven and earth." In fact, this is probably the same truth. Whether it is Shen Hexi's path or Song Wanzi's "Tao", their lives, the world, or the so-called world in the first place, are just a pot and a stove with a set of ingredients. And what is life? It was probably the sushi that Xiao Xi got up to make for the little girl when she was exhausted. It was Brother Chao who thought of various ways to make new dishes for his sister who was far away in Fu country day after day. It was also Shen Baoshi's awkward temperament that was tough-talking but also secretly paid attention to the weather in Fu country. It was the Mid-Autumn crab that Song Wanzi always recalled after leaving the Su family in "The Book of Shangshan". It was the mutton soup that Miss Mu Jiuxun ate with her legs crossed on the tower. Perhaps it was also a hurdle that Wei Yumeng and Yi Bansheng would find difficult to overcome in their lives. But no matter the daily life or suffering, it is not worth Song Wanzi's big pot. Tiao Ding's hand-cooked dishes are not only used to prepare hundreds of flavours, but also thousands of flavors in the world. When suffering cannot be escaped and hope is so far away that it seems impossible to grasp it, all we can grasp is a big pot and a kitchen knife in front of us. Well, whether it was Song Wanzi when he was in the human world or Shen Hexi before his rebirth, what they grasped was letting go. When people live, they live in the present. What Yu Zhengwei has been unable to get out of is the past. Things in the past have long been difficult to change. If he keeps holding on to the past and traps himself in a cage, even if he makes food, it will be tasteless. Even if we recognize the problem, it is just igniting a fire and then blocking the fire ourselves. This is wrong. We have been trapped in the past for too long. Experiencing the food in Xiao Cao Wen seems to me to be more than just drooling over the food. I feel like I have caught something, something that makes me stop and look at myself. I guess I need to think about it again. Thank you Xiaocao for your two articles. I like both of them very much. I also hope that one day in the future I can follow this line and find the taste of life I want. I think food is the way to live. And life itself is also the way to live. This time in the human world, perhaps it is just smoke from heaven and earth.
Life is about making choices. It is really difficult to face life and love calmly and bravely in this one life. However, this is the secret to happiness, so we have no choice but to die unwillingly. Doing it again, Xiao Xi's choice also changed the lives of many people. I happened to go to see the ballet White Snake today, and I just finished reading "The Heart Is Unwilling" during the intermission. At the end of The Legend of White Snake, the screen lights up, "The script of life can only be seen clearly when it comes to an end." Feeling and unwillingness have the same expression. I was very moved after reading the article. I wish everyone can have the courage to be honest in life and live a life without regrets. I haven't read such a good article in a long time, thank you Xiaocao.
Sure enough, this article will always be the highlight of my food articles, and I will take it out from time to time to reflect on it.
Thank you. Even today, I still feel very happy when I read your words.
Nice! I saw the comments in the comment area of other articles and came here to read them. I found out that the article was written several years ago. With the mentality of giving it a try, I jumped in and read it in one breath... It is really good. There is no sense of backwardness that may be felt when reading articles from a few years ago, nor the impetuous feeling of many articles in Jinjiang nowadays. On the contrary, it makes people feel When you sink down to read an article, you can feel the temptation of food and the warmth of emotion between the lines. It makes you cry, laugh, and feel a lot. It is even a little thought-provoking... My favorite character in the whole article must be the brother, and even my favorite character in the article I read this year... The author is really great! I really recommend this article!
This novel is such a warm and steadfast existence! I read a pirated article by mistake before, but now I think about it and pay back the author a lot.
Watching it again after so many years ^^ Back then I was a primary school student who couldn't afford genuine copies and could only watch pirated copies. Now I just bought the whole copy. It's really fun to watch delicious food. I also feel a sense of happiness when I see Xiao Xi and her brother are both very good.
It's a bit old-fashioned, hahahahaha, but many of my views are still outdated even now.
I caught up on it after many years. I really like this article. I have read it many times. I hope I can have many people who love me by my side.
