A person's life is only a short hundred years. How should I spend it? Some people say that they are tired of supporting their families all their lives, some are addicted to money and enjoy life, and some are struggling to pursue their dreams all their lives. Most people envy success and think that only in this way can they be regarded as success in this life, but they are always unhappy and inferior to others, so they always put themselves in a colorless world.

In fact, truly successful people, their fame and achievements are always accompanied by colorful and interesting lives. They know that life is a hundred flavors bottle, and life is made up of thousands of flavors in the bottle. Mr. Cai Lan once said: Life is too short to live forever. It is better to live an interesting life and be a layman.

The book "Hundred Flavors of Life" contains 26 essays by Mr. Cai Lan. In the book, a bowl of plain rice, a thick soup, a cup of fragrant tea and a pot of sake can all incarnate the vivid protagonist in his works; A minor illness, a haircut, a day's gathering of friends, and a cursive photo can all constitute Mr. Cai Lan's eloquent story.

The writer Cai Lan is called "God of Food" by most people. Many people know him because he was the general consultant of China on the Tip of the Tongue a few years ago. However, his success is more than just eating. Without extraordinary talent, how can he become one of the four great talents in Hong Kong?

"Well-informed, qinqi calligraphy and painting, debauchery and wealth, eating and drinking, whoring and gambling, literature and movies, know everything. In terms of movies, poetry, calligraphy, epigraphy and diet, it can be said to be a first-class access. " This is Jin Yong's evaluation of him.

When Fujian Southeast Satellite TV filmed The Mystery of Taste Interpretation, Wang Shengzhi immediately thought of Mr. Cai Lan and wanted to invite him as the examiner. Cai Lan heard that this program would be filmed in the countryside, but he refused at the thought that the countryside would be chased by mosquitoes. But when Wang Shengzhi mentioned a delicious food called Xiabu mutton soup, and told him that Xiabu sheep is a kind of sheep that only eats seaweed, and he had never eaten seaweed before, he moved his heart instantly. He said:

Cai Lan is such a figure. Although some things are hard for him to accept, as long as he is interested, he must try. Isn't this a bit as cute and interesting as a child who doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons?

As far as Cai Lan is concerned, as long as it is life, nothing can't interest him. Playing chess, painting and calligraphy, eating, drinking and having fun are all his hobbies.

He once said that the confusion of young people is that they have no hobbies, and they don't know what they like or dislike. If you study another interest, how can you be lonely and bored and confused? Interest has come, and after learning all the way, knowledge has been broadened, execution has been improved, and interest can be developed into a career. Why bother?

It can be said that Cai Lan has been working hard all his life, working as a producer at the peak of Hong Kong films and publishing books at the peak of books. He has tried all these people, including gourmets, columnists, program hosts and businessmen, and had a good time. As one of Hong Kong's "Four Great Talents", some of the other three people have passed away and some are enjoying their old age, but Cai Lan is the only one who continues to be the new darling of the 2/kloc-0 century and is active in various places, which is related to his personality.

When Cai Lan finally drank his dream Yu Xia mutton soup in Fujian, he compared it with the mutton soup in the hotel restaurant:

Listen to this. Does this sound like what an old man said? Cai Lan, an old man, wrote such childish words in a book and told the whole world. Perhaps, this innocence rate is really cute, which just shows his ability to master life skillfully, rather than being controlled by life. No wonder people say "Cai Lan is the most handsome man".

This description seems a bit unprofessional and enterprising. But in these small words, is there a little truth of life and philosophical understanding?

An ordinary egg is life, just like our life, an ordinary life can live in a colorful way.

Reading * * * * Does Mr. Cai Lan focus on the smooth sharing of delicious food, beautiful scenery and beautiful women, making people feel that his life is always so beautiful? In fact, our life is full of * * *, isn't it? It's just that our taste and experience are not as good as Mr Cai Lan's.

After reading the article "Collecting Canes", I discovered that Mr. Cai Lan still has a hobby of collecting canes.

Smoking tool cane, telescope cane, camera cane, music box cane, candlelight cane, writing and painting cane ... The original rattan world is so wonderful that it is really eye-opening.

Listen to this tone, isn't it a little ah q spirit? After finishing something, I always think I deserve it. I have never found myself unhappy. Mr. Cai always attaches great importance to some small blessings in life and never lets bigger troubles overshadow these small pleasures.

Once I went to Australia to eat steak, Cai Lan wrote:

Knowing how to look at problems from different angles and deal with small unhappiness in life in a humorous way will make all troubles less important.

As Mr. Cai Lan said, "Compared with the whole universe, life is only a moment. Don't be so entangled in everything, just ask that you are happy. " We polish life with our heart, and life will give us back warmth and fragrance. Your attitude towards life determines what life brings you.

The most common words in the book are "the price of return has been paid" and "I am on this trip", but most of the time, it is only because of a cup of tea, a cup of soup or a small cane.

You see, people like Cai Lan, like a child who specializes in collecting happiness, have no regrets about these little pleasures.

The text of the book "Thousands of flavors are life" is very simple, without too many wonderful adjectives and exaggerated praises, and there is no sense of superiority such as "I eat all over the world and I am awesome". He just wrote down his feelings about the dish, that's all.

Eat carefully and live with your heart. What remains on the tip of the tongue is not only the taste of food, but also the taste of life. This is what impressed me most about this book.

Simply put, this book is just some essays on eating, drinking and having fun, but every article is full of fireworks of life. Every food and every life is our life. Life doesn't need too many lofty truths, as long as you keep a heart that loves it forever and embrace and experience it.

Finally, I want to mention that this book is beautifully printed. I especially like the illustrations in the book. Each story has a unique hand-painted color map. I like reading this book very much.

In an idle afternoon, I made a pot of tea, picked up this book lazily, and traveled around the world with Mr. Cai Lan, tasting delicious food, talking about life and feeling about life, which was very good.
