Have You Eaten Today?

A Beijinger who has been away from his hometown for many years spent a year re-tasting every taste of his hometown - from the sourness of bean juice to the sweetness and crispness of candied haws, from the exquisiteness of palace snacks to the world of Hutong snacks. This is a journey of taste and a belated self-discovery of roots. What he records is not only the food, but also the people who still stubbornly cling to a certain corner, a certain taste, and a certain promise in a rapidly changing city. What they are guarding may not be business, but memories. It's not about craftsmanship, it's about peace of mind. It's not tradition, it's where it comes from. As a result, "Have you eaten today" has a new meaning It ceased to be just a cultural combing project and became: A taste archive for this city—preserving the appearance and soul of more old flavors before they disappear. A bridge of communication - allowing old masters and young people, adherents and changemakers to sit down and talk. A self-discovery of roots allowed this wanderer who was born and raised in Beijing but had almost forgotten the taste of Beijing to rediscover his connection with his hometown.
