Reflections on Dinner for Two

When the loved one dies, when the closest relative leaves, how can we extricate ourselves from the abyss of sadness?

One morning in the summer of 2111, the old lady (grandpa's mother) passed away in her sleep. At that time, I was a teenager, and I still didn't understand what where will you go really meant. I followed my parents home to attend funerals, wake, crematorium and cemetery ... I really couldn't cry at all, only the boredom of insomnia. I once doubted that I was a cold-blooded person.

Life doesn't seem to have changed much since the funeral. Until I habitually took out the old lady's bowl and habitually shouted: "Old lady, have a meal". I couldn't help crying, and I knew what where will you go was.

? Where will you go is the most cruel to the living. We are stuck in the mire of memories and can't get out. We ask ourselves again and again, "Why, why are you?"

In Dinner for Two, Qiu Chi, the heroine of the story, was a food columnist who died of illness, leaving her husband Zhao Yixing, who loved her deeply, and her daughter Zhao Chengque, who just entered the sixth grade of primary school. The two most familiar strangers rely on the recipes left by Qiu Chi, the reasonable parents-in-law, and the enthusiastic help of Zhang Yumo and his wife ... from sorting out the relics of the deceased, changing the layout of family decoration, to accepting Dr. Wang as a new family member. Gradually accept the fact that his wife and mother passed away. We seem to be with the protagonist from sadness and depression to release.

I like the sentence "Being open-minded doesn't mean being fickle, and letting go doesn't mean forgetting." We can't predict whether the people around us can go with us, and we can't predict whether we are the one who left the scene halfway. In any case, we all hope that the dead will rest in peace and the living will let go, and we will meet in another world eventually.

? This is a book with both delicious food and warmth, suitable for lying lazily in bed and reading carefully on the afternoon of spring weekend.
