With the theme of "eating", Gourmet presents the economic and cultural changes of the whole society through the description of the fate changes of small people. The author created different attitudes towards eating and two seemingly opposite characters: one is "I"-opposing "delicious"; The other is Zhu-delicious. Two people seem to be estranged from each other, but in fact, fate is like a tangled line that has been entangled for most of their lives. The author analyzes human nature and expresses the influence of social background on personal destiny through the changes of their relationship and destiny in different periods. In fact, isn't this a manifestation of the social class and food culture changes represented by these two people?

In the end, Gao Xiaoting didn't understand what he was against. With personal disgust, he irrationally opposed reform in an all-round way. But ironically, he always runs counter to the general trend of society. With the progress of society and the improvement of people's material life, he opposed the improvement of food quality and returned to the era of "returning to nature". During the revolutionary turmoil, he had no chance. Finally, after a difficult year, he restored some famous Suzhou dishes. The Cultural Revolution followed, and he was branded as a "capitalist roader" because he changed the restaurant back. After the reform and opening up, he re-managed the related affairs of Jiangsu cuisine and invited Zhu, who he had always opposed, as a food consultant. People call Zhu, who can only eat and talk, "a gourmet", which is also a great irony.

At the end of the article, when he came home from Kong's banquet, he did an interesting thing to his grandson. He knocked out the child's chocolate and stuffed the hard candy into his grandson's mouth. I thought to myself, "I can't manage a Zhu Yezi all my life, and I can't manage you." It is not difficult to see that he once again implicated others because of his personal likes and dislikes, but he still couldn't let go of his heartfelt dislike of Zhu.

In fact, a person's extreme personal feelings about one thing are his weaknesses. It will affect rationality and hinder the development of a sound personality. Both the greedy Zhu and those who opposed Zhu all their lives have proved this point.
