Walking in the trend of this era, we seem to have forgotten the fun and taste of life, but fortunately, Wang Zengqi's articles have been reminding us that in his works, every grass and tree, tea and rice are particularly interesting.
Slow cooking life is an extremely light book, which tells us that no matter how the times change, we should keep life and the world in mind.
Life and the world still sing to us. Light, shadow, rain and dew are all landscapes, and ups and downs are all flavors. Regardless of gains and losses, you can rush to your own poems and distant places.
Wang Zengqi's words revealed his attitude towards life. He likes to add various colors to the background color of life to enrich the background color and life.
His life has experienced warlord melee. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the revolution in the 1950s were relatively dark times for China, but in his mind, these were ordinary and interesting things, and he loved life more than others.
In his words, "if you pay too much attention to other things, you might as well do something you like and find something interesting."
In Wang Zengqi's book, there are scenes of young couples working hand in hand, which took place in Kunming and The National SouthWest Associated University.
Reading his words gives people a great feeling of being relaxed and interesting, as if everything was relieved in his world.
The beauty of life has always been around us, but we didn't find it with our heart.
He explained a sentence with his life: "We were so eager for the waves of fate, but in the end we found that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually inner peace and calmness."
He left home for half his life, but he came back as a teenager.
0 1 slow down and taste the world's mixed flavors.
Anyone who has seen Wang Zengqi's works knows that many people say that he is a gourmet.
Because most of his works are about eating and drinking, he is a writer who writes delicious food to the extreme. For example, he wrote duck eggs in Gaoyou, bean juice in Beijing and puffer fish in Jiangyin, all of which made people drool and eat, and he was even called a food writer.
In fact, this comment is incomplete. Food is just a spice in life. If you have read the complete works of Wang Zengqi, in fact, his works account for less than 10% of Food.
The real literary achievements are all derived from his novels, such as "The Commandment" and "Notes on Making a scene", all of which are about traditions, declining times and exquisite little people.
People who love life are irresistible to food, but in Wang Zengqi's works, his food can be radish, sweet potato, potato, fried rice, bitter gourd and other ordinary home-cooked dishes.
In that special revolutionary era, he was labeled as a "Rightist" and sent to Xishan to plant trees. After a day's work, there are only two steamed buns and a big pickled radish left.
However, it is not difficult to beat Wang Zengqi's love for food in life. The wild jujube on the mountain is ripe, picked and eaten, and the grass is full of fruit.
A bite of steamed bread tastes as delicious as a cooked pot.
According to his words, "wherever people go, they should have some fun and do something." They are always sad. Why? "
Slow Cooking Life is all about human vegetation, delicious food from all directions and memories of hometown. It can be said that the words are like people, which is also Wang Zengqi's attitude towards life, like a bowl of properly cooked millet porridge, which is simmered with a small fire and has a light taste.
The slowness in the book is not procrastination, but calmness. The light in the book is not light, but light and tasteful.
Slow down and understand the fireworks of life.
The book says that when he was walking in Yuyuantan, he met an old couple, holding a glass can, searching all the way to pick up Lycium barbarum, and asked them what it was for. In fact, it's just for fun. It's much more interesting than just walking.
These are two naive old people and two old children. When you are old, you should learn to live like this. People who seek pleasure from life must be excellent.
Although the writing is very light, it is very light and tasteful.
For example, in this book, he often writes slowly. How can he write slowly? Slow is fun.
In the school alarm of National Southwest Associated University, it was during the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The Japanese often bomb Kunming from time to time. When the alarm sounded, everyone ran for their lives.
A classmate named Ma is best at running the police. Whether there is an alarm or not, he carries a pot of water, brings something to eat, and takes a roll of poems by Wen Feiqing or Li Shangyin to the suburbs.
It was not until the sun went down that the Japanese plane would not come and came back slowly.
One is a female classmate, surnamed Luo. She washes her hair as soon as there is an alarm. Everyone else has left, and the hot water in the boiler room is not needed. She can open it and wash it. She can have as much water as she wants!
The other is a classmate from Guangdong, surnamed Zheng. He likes to eat lotus seeds. As soon as there was an alarm, he used a big mouthwash jar to cook lotus seeds on the boiler burner. The alarm is off, and his lotus seeds are rotten.
In the era that Wang Zengqi experienced, the background of the article was troubled times, wars and broken families, which were everywhere in his life.
But he is not interested in these things. He cares about "slowness" and "dullness" in life. No matter how the current situation changes and the contemporary regime changes, eating and drinking is his philosophy of life.
Life is fun, and being optimistic about life is also his attitude towards life.
He once said: "I am not pursuing profundity, but harmony." "I wrote about beautiful and healthy human nature. Beauty is needed at all times. "
Looking closely, Wang Zengqi is a bit like the dullness in ancient Tao Yuanming. This generalization of "slow and plain" can't help but remind us of the familiar poem: "Under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely."
We can also understand Wang Zengqi as a modern "Tao Yuanming".
See the world with a pure heart, live with a happy heart and live with a normal heart. This is the fireworks of life.
Slow down and experience the warmth and coldness of life between people.
Wang Zengqi was born in 1920. His hometown is Gaoyou, Jiangsu. He is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, under the Grand Canal.
His father is easy-going, rarely loses his temper, and treats his children with no bad words. Moreover, his father likes playing with children very much, so he is called "the head of children" by his aunt.
He cares about Wang Zengqi's studies, but he won't insist. When Wang Zengqi was a child, he didn't blame him for his poor math, saying that as long as he could be admitted.
When Wang Zengqi 17 years old, Wang Zengqi also talked about a girlfriend who wrote love letters at home during the summer vacation, and his father was still making suggestions.
When my father drinks, he always pours a cup for Wang Zengqi, smokes two cigarettes at a time, and then lights a fire for him.
His father said, "We have been brothers for many years."
You know, this is China of 1938. This kind of family is actually unusual, and this relationship is more about the feelings between brothers.
The relationship between Wang Zengqi's generation and their children is also a "brother" and a father-son relationship.
My children sometimes call me "dad", sometimes "old man", and even my granddaughter calls me.
Often provoked my mother to say that this child is "no big or small."
Seeing this, I can't help but see a picture in my mind. An old urchin is very close to his children, and the children sometimes say, "Grandpa, do you think I'm right?"
How interesting this conversation is, full of childlike taste.
Wang Zengqi's attitude towards his son's several relationships is "deaf" because he believes in the child's own choice and his decision.
On the other hand, in today's society, many parents excessively interfere with their children's marriage and studies. Only when their children have enough money for bride price can they be happy. Others take the first place in the exam, and children have to go to cram schools no matter how expensive they are.
The news in recent years has also reported that many children choose to commit suicide because they can't stand the pressure, which is embarrassing.
I especially like a sentence: "Never compare people. Everyone is different. It is important to find the difference that suits you best. "
Wang Zengqi's writing style is always plain and easy-going, and his educational philosophy for children always contains respect and understanding. Just like his article, it is simple, smooth, calm and profound.
Slow down, life is still full of beautiful scenery.
Wang Zengqi's life has experienced numerous hardships and setbacks, and he has also been treated unfairly. Nevertheless, he always maintained a calm and open-minded attitude and created a positive, optimistic and poetic literary life.
In his pen, he loves food from the bottom of his heart, an ordinary and unremarkable ingredient, which is a treasure in his eyes.
Not only for food, but also for people. Play with friends when you are young, and play with children when you are old.
Sometimes I have to admire Mr. Wang Zengqi's mentality, just like an old urchin, interesting and lovely.
There are many lovely old men in this world, but Wang Zengqi's cuteness is rare.
Under the noise and tension of modern society, people seem to have gradually lost their traditional cultural flavor, and the prose collection Slow Cooking Life is full of "Chinese flavor" everywhere.
Some people say that Wang Zengqi was the last "scholar-bureaucrat" in China. This is because Wang Zengqi is still writing the traditional humanistic spirit of China. Another reason is that Wang Zengqi had a rich literary foundation in the old society, and at the same time received modern education.
The breath of old literature and the wisdom of new education formed a perfect combination in him.
He is serious about life.
If you walk too fast in life, you will always miss the beautiful scenery around you. Then you might as well slow down and read Wang Zengqi's Slow Cooking Life. I think you will get different results.
This is Wang Zengqi's philosophy and attitude towards life. When the mood comes, two glasses of wine can make life happy. The leaves outside the window are silent, and the time inside is quiet. This is the greatest happiness!
