Although I often cook spicy food now, I couldn't eat spicy food at all when I lived with my grandmother in Shanghai as a child.
In middle school, I went to live with my parents in the north, and was ridiculed by my peers as a little shanghai who can't eat spicy food, so I deliberately exercised the matter of eating spicy food.
Some people say that spicy is not a taste, but a sense of pain.
As a person who eats spicy food in the later period, I have participated in the whole process from prejudice and incomprehension to acceptance, integration and dependence. I also slowly understand that spicy is a way close to self-abuse, but it is closer to your heartbeat, blood and soul than any other taste.
In my memory, after being scolded by the teacher at the same table, I lit a hot and sour powder in the small street behind the school, and my emotions flowed out with sweat. And when my loved ones passed away, but I couldn't stay with them, I was teared by a bowl of familiar taste in silence.
It is the burning and stinging that makes people feel more alive.
I guess that's what life is all about.
