Everyone should be somewhat impressed by this domestic gourmet show by Chef Xiao Fugui. At that time, there was no concept of gourmet food. There are not many food animations. The one you have probably seen is The Little Boss of China. At that time, I thought that The Little Boss of China was a national comic. Chef Xiaofugui is a real Chinese food comic, and it was also very popular at that time.

The painting style of Chef Xiao Fugui is the same as that of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Heroes, because they are both produced by the same company and the same people are dubbing them. Moreover, Yu Hua was the literary consultant for these two animations, the same Yu Hua who wrote "Alive". I don’t know if you have read the book "Alive". Anyway, it's a very tragic ending. A landowner's son lost his family property and became poor. After that, his family members died one after another, and in the end, only he and a cow were left for company.

The protagonist in The Master Chef Xiao Fugui is of course Xiao Fugui, and the protagonist in Alive is also Fugui. The dead are not miserable, but the living are the worst. Fugui went from having a lot of wealth to having nothing. Xiao Fugui learned cooking from his grandfather since he was a child, but his grandfather was framed and arrested. In order to save grandpa, he must collect eighteen pieces of gold kitchen utensils, risking his life every time he cooks. Xiao Fugui is just a child, but he has endured too much for this.

The little flying saucer in the animation is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the daughter of a prince. Xiao UFO wanted to assassinate the Empress Dowager Cixi to avenge his parents, so he met Xiao Fugui. There is also Xiao Lizi in the animation, a very bad and evil little eunuch. When I was a kid watching it, I hated this character very much. Xiao Lizi often framed Xiao Fugui in various ways. Although he was never successful, he still caused a lot of interference to Xiao Fugui.

Actually, when I watched the anime before, I never finished watching the ending of The Magic Chef Xiao Fugui. Because it was played on TV at that time, if your parents accidentally snatched the remote control away, you would not be able to watch the cartoons. Later, after watching the ending, I realized that Xiao Lizi was so miserable. He was sold into the palace as a eunuch since he was a child, and he still wanted to save his parents. Therefore, he has been deceived by Lord K and has done many bad things for Lord K. At the end, it was discovered that Xiao Lizi's parents had died long ago, and Master K had been deceiving the child.

There is also Bean Sprout, he is the emperor, but unfortunately he is just a puppet and can't do anything. As an emperor of a generation, he was controlled by all kinds of things. He had empty ideals, but he became a victim. An emperor transformed into bean sprouts and would only be happy when he was with Xiao Fugui and the others. Shouldn't being an emperor be the happiest thing, but this bean sprout lives such a tragedy?

There is also Little Bee, Master K’s godchild, but he was deceived by Master K and has been helping Master K to do bad things. Later, he was rescued by Xiao Fugui and decided to help Xiao Fugui. Later, Little Bee was actually killed by Lord K. There are also many people who are very miserable. Basically, the people who appear in the animation do not have a good ending.

Similar to Yu Hua’s book, everyone around Fugui died, and in the end there was only one cow left to accompany Fugui. This cow’s name was also Fugui. God Chef Xiao Fugui, he has indeed become a God Chef, but what’s the use of it? The grandfather he wanted to save died, and many people he knew also died.

The Empress Dowager Cixi and Master K in the animation will not have a happy ending, but there is not much explanation in the animation. In the end, Xiao Lizi found out that he had been deceived by Lord K. He said that he actually wanted to be a good person. If it wasn't to save his parents, how could Xiao Lizi do so many things that harmed Xiao Fugui?

Finally, little Fugui left the palace, and he had nothing. The little flying saucer left, the little bee died, and he had nothing like the living Fugui.

Other Chinese comics have happy endings. After all, the Chinese comics at that time were basically aimed at the children's market. There are many colors of life in "Little Fugui, the Divine Chef". They are all Fugui, and they all have the same ending. There are many books that end in tragedy, but there are not many animations that end in tragedy. At the end of the animation, Fugui came to a grassland and saw a small flying saucer, which proved how much he hoped for a good ending. I also want to see a happy ending, but the ending of Master Chef Xiao Fugui is so tragic.
