Life is really fun

-Inspirational speech by Cai Lan, a famous gourmet and "Four Great Talents in Hong Kong" in the 146th issue of Let's Talk

First of all, I like watching this program very much, but after watching it, I have a feeling that all the invited guests are here. Probably a lot of mischief in my last life. How about getting a chair to sit? Thank you. It's much more comfortable.

My name is Cai Lan. Why is it called Cai Lan? Because I was born in Nanyang, my father said, "Just Cai Nan, the south of the south". But I have an elder, and the name also has the word "Nan", so it is not good and taboo, so I changed it to the word "Lan". There is also an old saying: "7 does not exceed the moment", and "not exceeding the moment" means that you don't have to obey the rules and you will live at once.

this life is really good, really fun. There are two ideas. If you think it's fun, it's fun. If you don't think it's fun, it's not fun. It's like when you walk over and go out, crows croak all over the sky. This is unfortunate, but you think, crows are the only animals that give food to their parents. There are very few such animals, including humans. Therefore, in such a short period of decades, we should regard life as good, not bad, and not too gloomy. I like chatting with young people best, because I think I can communicate with them, and I am still young. I just found that many young people still have a generation gap with me, that is, I am a little younger than them. I try my best to study, experience, travel and eat good things, and my life will be better, as simple as that. I like reading books. I like reading a lot of books. I read everything. When I was young, I read Greek Mythology. I like reading these fantasy things. Then I like to travel. As soon as I like to travel, my eyes will be opened to see how others live. When I was in Spain, I went to see the location. There was an old man fishing there. The island in Spain was called Ibiza, where retired hippies lived. The old hippie was fishing there. I saw that the fish in front were very small. When I turned around, the fish over there were huge. I said, "Old man, there are big fish over there. Why do you fish here?" He looked at me and said, "Sir, what I caught was breakfast." Yes, one sentence awakens your greed in life and everything.

during the trip, you can learn a lot of philosophy of life. Another time, in the mountains of India, I cooked chicken for the old lady all day. I said, "I don't want to eat chicken, I want to eat fish!" "The lady said," What is a fish? " She hasn't even seen it. It's on the mountain. I drew a fish for her with a piece of paper and said, "It's a pity that you haven't eaten it." The old lady looked at me and said, "Sir, what's the pity of not eating?" It's all philosophy of life.

I made my debut early. I started working in movies when I was almost nineteen. At that time, I sat down with some old-timers, and there were twelve people at a table. I was the youngest. But when I sat down, I was already thinking that one day I would sit down and I was the oldest. Sure enough, this seems to be a second ago. I went to dinner with others last night. I was the oldest as soon as I sat down. So don't think it's a long time and it's gone in such a flash. Speaking of Mexico, I also lived in Mexico for a year. When I went to Mexico, I wanted to buy and see some people selling firecrackers and fireworks. I wanted to buy and show them. My friend said, "Mr. Cai, no, no, it's only for the dead!" " Why do the dead set off fireworks? In fact, people there live a hard life, people are short-lived and have a lot of contact with death. So when you have a lot of contact, why don't you turn death into a happy thing? Then why do you have to celebrate when you are alive? People celebrate when they are dead.

I think young people can do whatever they want. If they have the heart, they will do it for you one day. This is the advantage of being young. Experience life in fun and feel the beauty of life in ordinary fireworks. I went to a restaurant, and it was delicious, so I wrote an article to recommend it to everyone. Because business is really not easy, I won't swear casually. At least, the articles I wrote were taken, enlarged in color and posted outside the restaurant. You can go to Hong Kong to see it, all of them. In short, you should do everything with great care and learn everything. There is a book that teaches you how to make soy sauce, and I will buy it back. Like me, I also practice calligraphy and carve seals. After I finish learning, I will become an expert in everything if I learn more. Therefore, the more people's skills, the less afraid they are. That is, I fly all day, and most of the planes at night and late at night encounter airflow. This plane is very powerful and keeps bumping and bumping. Let it bump, and I have been drinking. There was a big fat Australian sitting next to him, and he was always afraid, always afraid, always afraid. Well, after the plane was (firmly) settled, he looked at me and looked at me with great satisfaction. He said, "Hey, man, have you ever died?" I have lived.

Young people, always have some ideals, always have some ambitions, always have something you want to do, and try your best to do it!
