Personal Life
Blogs
During the two years she lived in Paris with her husband, Wenyi began to learn how to cook, and when she returned to China in 2004, she became a full-time wife and started posting on the Sohu "Gourmet Kitchen" forums, taking pictures of the food she made with her camera and attaching the recipe. One day, when Sohu's server went down, all her hard work was lost. At that time, blogs were just emerging, and a friend told her that blogs were like network hard disks, which you put on them as if they were backups. So Wenyi turned to blogging, found that "people will actually come to patronize, but also give you a message. "At first it was all about buying your own food, making it yourself, photographing it yourself, blogging it yourself, retouching the photos and uploading it yourself. Because each dish is broken down into steps, it's time-consuming to photograph." Wenyi has meticulously run her blog, which has received an unprecedented number of hits. The blog teaches people to make various kinds of food by breaking it down in words and pictures, as well as spreading some common tips and organizing volunteer activities for the Children's Aid Society, and updating the blog has become an important part of Wenyi's life.
"My sights and sounds, my joys and sorrows, the microblog shows my pure life, almost a day of complete transparency." Wenyi went to Japan to participate in a food safety event organized by an organization, and even though she had to spend two to three hundred dollars a day on cellphone Internet access, she was happy to tweet. On a tour of the production line at a factory in Japan, she used her cell phone to take pictures of the curved lines and tweeted, "All I can think is, Zuma, I can make it to the sixth level. When she goes to a potluck, she takes pictures of the food and compares the dishes in the Japanese food hall with her own. Attending a boring meeting, she finds interesting pictures from her phone's photo favorites and tweets them along with her complaints and frustrations. Twitter likewise documents the other side of her work. "I will also post some life hacks and kitchen tips that can be expressed clearly in tweets." She'll tweet tips like "how to cut a mango beautifully" with a picture of a cut mango. She will post a picture of a robot cat sitting on the toilet lid, reading a book, with text, telling her "fans" that when you flush the toilet, you should cover the lid first, otherwise a lot of bacteria will be emitted into the air when you flush, contaminating your towel and toothbrush. In her food and living museum there are classes for children, and she loves children, she will write down their photos and interesting stories and share them on Weibo.
Almost all of her tweets state, "I'll cut down on comments because I have a limited perspective and can't influence 90,000+ people with irresponsible comments." It's like looking at other people's microblogs, Wenyi likes to see people in different industries and what their day is like, "I want to show my very real state of life, so that others will enjoy the happy atmosphere."

Children's aid society volunteers

Wenyi said: "Do more of these things, more contact with some of these people, you will feel your life is so beautiful, the mind becomes more and more clean, as if being washed. Although our blog has a lot of influence, I am not trying to persuade everyone to participate in our activities, because I think when you have reached a certain stage and degree in your life, only then will you actively look for doing such a thing, otherwise it will not be useful for me to say more."
Home Kitchen
How can one not mention the kitchen in the home of a woman who regards the world's food as her life? Into the longed-for Wenyi kitchen - or more should be called here dish studio, everything in front of you is enough to make the "housewife" eye-catching, enough about 20 square meters of the kitchen is naturally divided into the operation area, display area and dining area, the overall kitchen design is also fully integrated. The overall kitchen design also fully embodies the essence of less area to play more use, clean desktop countertops do not see imagined all over the pots and pans of the clutter, the operating table next to the folding TV stand also allows cooking to see the TV and eliminate the tediousness.
"My kitchen can be considered a small museum, where you can find 40 or 50 kinds of special seasonings I collected from all over the country." Wenyi told us that other girls shopping is to buy clothes to dress themselves, her biggest hobby shopping is to collect tableware, see the shape of the peculiar and beautiful utensils are always in love must buy home. Usually most often go to Taobao Women's Street, Tianyi shopping malls such places, selling tableware ware merchants have long been "mixed" familiar, on the new goods is always the first to call to notify her. So many years down the line, all kinds of tableware has been collected thousands of kinds of more, but the kitchen stored less than one-third of the total collection. The ones that don't fit in the kitchen even take up space in the closet. Wenyi said, "the good-looking clothes always seem to be less attractive than the tableware to me stronger, and now I have more and more feel that my kitchen "mini-museum" more and more shelves my collection of treasures."
Wenyi's kitchen is highly utilized, reflecting the full functionality, Wenyi told us, "My kitchen was not so big, this house was originally connected to the kitchen is a guest room, when the renovation of the kitchen I felt that the operating space is too small, and the guest room's utilization rate is not high relatively wasteful, so after consideration of the partition between the kitchen and the bedroom, the whole wall knocked down, the kitchen and the bedroom. So after consideration, the wall separating the kitchen and the bedroom was knocked down as a whole, and the kitchen space was increased by ten square meters, which gave me an open battlefield to play freely. Since the original wall was also a non-load-bearing wall, knocking it down didn't have any effect on the load-bearing and framing structure of the house." "My biggest requirement for the design of the kitchen was to have ample space to put down all my cooking lines. That's why enough cabinets were designed to allow me to separate my collection of plates, dishes, cups and bowls." Wenyi sounded proud.
