The name of Tsai's mother is Tang Ying, and Tsai describes his mother as a standard Shanghai celebrity: she wakes up at 12 every day to wash and do her hair; wears her cheongsam narrowly and tightly; when she's in a good mood, she draws her own paper samples to design her clothes; the neckline of her tulle pajamas is fitted with fur; and the slippers she wears around the house are clipped with peacock feathers. Tsai Kangyong, like a spectator, looked at his mother leaning against the wall, smoking, his eyes drifting off the balcony - he used one word: voluptuous.

Mom - the mother in Tsai's eyes is the perfect image of a Shanghai wife. The day of the cover shoot for HIS LIFE was Tsai's 49th birthday, and he posted a picture of his mom's youthful beauty on Twitter a few days ago. With her thick permed hair and vermilion lips and smile, she looks like Wang Jiazhi's poker hitchhiker in "Lust, Caution".

Mom washed her hair at two o'clock, then asked someone to play mahjong, snack at four o'clock, mahjong at eight o'clock, snack at eleven o'clock, and finally the poker game dispersed, bathing, dressing, and sleeping. Everyday life, exquisitely written and meticulous. Tsai grew up around his mother, who taught him to wear a morning robe in the morning, which later became a serious difference between Tsai and his classmates when he went to boarding school. He found his classmates who didn't wear morning gowns strange, and his classmates were only surprised when they looked at him. It turned out they weren't living a life at all.

Shanghai's good life, mom copied to Taiwan, careful and try. Yet there are still many unfinishable places. For example, to make Shanghai food, one is not enough ingredients, the other is not know the way to do it, often have to call and ask the cook, Tsai lives in Taipei, grew up from his mother's phone call to hear the most authentic call of Shanghai food: "choking shrimp, yellow fish, pickled dukes of fresh ...... "

Now the design of the launch of "CAI" women's shoes, is a kind of distant imagination and tribute to the childhood to see their mothers wearing cheongsam and high-heeled shoes. Tsai said, "I do so many things, hosting, publishing books, are not my mother's interest, but only making shoes, like and mom to establish some kind of connection. I am very happy."
