“When I was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what I looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house, listening to the adults chatting about their year. I’d get under my mother’s feet in the kitchen, watching her make dumplings. She’d put tokens in some dumplings: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef.”
“小时候,我最期待的便是年夜饭了。不仅可以吃到平时难得一见的美食,还可以全家人聚在一起。我会在屋子里窜来窜去,听大人们闲聊。或是跑到在厨房忙碌的母亲身边,看她包饺子。她会在饺子里包些有美好寓意的东西:糖代表着生活甜蜜,花生代表着长寿健康。到了晚上,全家人围坐桌边,分享美食,相互祝酒,欢笑不断。哪怕是最简单不过的家常菜也胜过顶级大厨做的满汉全席。”
