All easy lives are similar, and each difficult life is difficult in its own way.

Is life really not easy?

Um.

But there are always some things that are easy to get without any effort, such as: easy to get fat, easy to be poor, easy to get sick.

Sure enough, no one wants something that can be obtained without any effort.

People always strive to move forward in the pursuit of beauty, wealth and health, but things often backfire and they cannot get rid of three easy troubles.

The wheel of history keeps moving forward, and things in it just start over and over again.

Come on, let’s take a look at how those great writers and artists of ancient and modern times who share our deepest feelings faced obesity, poverty, and illness.

Su Shi: The only way to relieve worries is to eat meat. Su Shi was a famous writer, calligrapher, painter and gourmet in the Northern Song Dynasty.

If there had been the Internet in the Northern Song Dynasty, Mr. Dongpo would definitely have been a responsible big V foodie.

He likes eating meat and sweets very much. He has invented about thirty-two kinds of delicacies, the most famous of which is Dongpo meat. Dongpo cuttlefish, Dongpo tofu, and Dongpo jelly are also delicious dishes invented by him.

.

He has written countless poems about food, including "Wild Pheasant", "Bream Fish", "Bream Fish Line", "Sending Bamboo Shoots, Peony and Public Choice", "Spring Vegetables", "Eating Lychees for the First Time on April 11th"

"Bean Porridge", even the porridge is not spared... basically I eat it after cooking, write after eating, and continue eating after writing. Every time I write poems, I gain three pounds.

How fat is Dongpo? He himself claimed in the poem "Baoshan Day Sleep": "Seven feet tall to walk in the world, ten inches wide to store innocence." Saying that he is seven feet tall and ten inches wide around the waist is too self-deprecating.

, but the word "belly" cannot cover up the fact that the belly is fat and round.

"Dongpo Zhilin" also recorded an incident: After Su Dongpo drank alcohol one day, he pointed to his belly and asked the concubines and servants around him: "What is in my belly?" One replied: "Articles." Another said:

"Information." He shook his head.

Only Chaoyun smiled and said: "You, you are full of untimely things." Su Shi clapped his hands and laughed: "Only Chaoyun can know me." We don't know what is in the belly, but it must be big enough.

Everyone knows that Su Shi was demoted throughout his life.

When he was exiled to Huangzhou, he was desperate.

How desperate you are, check out "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" by yourself.

When he discovered the pork in Huangzhou, he immediately got excited and wrote "Ode to Pork". The core idea was: Huangzhou pork is so cheap!

Then, he began to eat Dongpo pork elbows and Dongpo meat frequently and drank until he developed hemorrhoids.

He was demoted as far away as Hainan.

This was quite depressing for him.

Until he discovered the oysters in Hainan, his eyes suddenly lit up.

So I wrote a letter to my son saying, Damn, the oysters are so delicious!

Don't tell the people in Chaoli. If you do, they will definitely come to Hainan to compete with Dad!

In the eyes of foodies, anything can be turned into delicious food.

One time I took medicine and it was too bitter.

Su Shi said, I don’t drink, I don’t drink.

Just kill me.

The family members were particularly helpless. Then, he looked at the raw materials of the medicinal materials and came up with a plan.

Said, otherwise, I will cook these things.

He started blinking again, and the family members looked at each other.

Later, Su Shi's Poria Cake was born... Nothing can stop foodies from exploring delicious food.

When you are relegated, you need to eat; when you go sightseeing, you need to eat; when you are sick, you need to eat; when you are chatting with your family, you need to eat.

Travel and food are my main occupations, literature and art are just accidents.

As for being an official, haha.

Come on, come on, you're welcome, let's eat together.

"The Tao Te Ching" says that "governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies", and the same is true for governing life.

What Su Dongpo was best at was not cooking fish or meat, but cooking destiny.

No matter what the destiny is, he can cook and process it, turn it into a popular poem, and turn it into a unique taste in the world.

When I was a child, I liked Li Bai because he was a star in the sky; now I like Su Shi because he is a human being in the mortal world.

As a human being, your mentality cannot be defeated.

In the early 19th century, there was a great poet named Byron in England, who struggled with himself all day long because of his young age.

Byron: Don’t give me food, I want to lose weight!

It is said that Byron was a handsome man with good looks and substance.

But his beautiful appearance was not natural. In order to maintain a perfect figure, he struggled painfully with obesity almost every day in his life.

When it was time to grow, he did not eat meat or milk, and lived on a small spoonful of rice, two biscuits, and a glass of soda every day.

In addition, he also practiced fencing, boxing, horse riding and swimming for a long time.

Wear 7 pieces of underwear and sweat to lose weight while playing cricket.

At the age of 19, he successfully lost about 10 kilograms of weight in 5 months.

Alas, the path of a male god is really difficult.

A literary man named Samuel Rogers once invited Byron to dinner. At the dinner table, he was astonished by his maddeningly restrained diet.

Brother dei, I'm not talking about you. In this kind of conversation, in a certain Gada, you may not survive the third sentence... As for people, you can't choose comfort at the age when you should struggle, but you can't abuse yourself in the opposite way.

Byron's weight loss method was still a bit extreme, and in the end, he unfortunately passed away at the age of 36.
