One,
Huang Xiaoming in the entertainment circle is a well-known dutiful son. As one of the celebrities who like to take his parents on trips, in a few years, he has taken his parents to the United Kingdom, Paris, Hawaii, and Las Vegas, spending millions of dollars. Huang Xiaoming was also photographed respectfully driving the door for his parents and guiding them to get in the car. Huang Xiaoming, who is accustomed to seeing beautiful celebrities in the entertainment industry, even posted a young and beautiful picture of Huang's mother on Weibo, praised "My mother is a goddess" and said that mother is the most difficult job in the world.
In 2015, Huang Xiaoming took his mother to a variety show. Among them is the scene where he cooks for his mother for the first time,
Stars usually go home to eat very rarely when filming, let alone cook at home. Looking at this posture, you know that Huang Xiaoming doesn’t cook much at home. The simple kitchen was choked by smoke and splashed with oil, and looked worried and afraid. It's like us who don't usually cook much.
But he is willing to spend time to thank his mother by cooking for his mother. Because he knew that his mother liked this expression of love. Mother Huang showed off her son to cook for herself more than once in front of the neighbors. Her proud look was exactly the same as the proud look of our first mother in the class when we were young.
Huang Xiaoming also posted the practice of prawns on Weibo, drawing the steps of cooking with a pencil stroke by stroke. Although naive like a child to please his mother, it still reveals a kind of naivety. Filial piety to mother.
The hearts of parents are the same in the world, and sometimes a small behavior of their children can make parents a kind of glory capital.

There is an internationally renowned chef named Jiang Zhencheng, who has studied in the most famous restaurant in France for more than ten years, and turned to Singapore to open a Michelin three-star restaurant, which is not a success.
In fact, it is very hard for him to work in a French restaurant. The first year is to cook potatoes. He is the first to go to work every day in the restaurant, and he is also the one who gets off work at the latest. He sleeps more than four times a day. hour. He also saves money and eats all the Michelin restaurants in France. The purpose is to experience what the best cooking skills are like. Often the salary is gone after a meal for half a month. But he persisted, and finally made some achievements.
When he talked about his passion for cooking in his autobiography, he started talking about his mother. His mother opened a restaurant, and in Jiang Zhencheng's eyes she is a very good chef. There are two adults and three children in their family. His mother was never too troublesome, and prepared eight dishes and two soups for the five people for every meal.
five people, eat so much, rich and delicious. His mother worked tirelessly to cook so many good dishes for them every meal and persisted for a lifetime. Jiang Zhencheng has been eating for more than ten years, and that's how he grew up.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Zhencheng is very happy, and there are not many happy people like him. Because there are not many people like his mother, because most people emphasize frugality. They don’t emphasize the sense of ritual at every meal. They cook so many dishes. The level, energy and financial conditions of the cooks are not allowed. . But Jiang Zhencheng has this condition. He has eaten delicious food since he was a child, and then he has established a hard-working trait, and he is determined to give others good food when he grows up, because this is a transmission of belief.
So the belief that his mother passed to him is that the way to bring happiness to people is to cook a table full of good dishes. It's that simple. This belief was deeply rooted in his mind, which became his most powerful and lasting eternal motivation on the frustrated cooking path.
Now our age is always trapped by rational goals, such as how much money should be earned, what position should be achieved, and what recognition should be obtained. This is instrumental rationality., Are utilitarian goals. These goals do have a strong driving force on people, but they are also a destructive force. But the power of emotion is real, it can inspire a person's spirit and reshape a person's life.

has a book on Chinese food, which is highly praised by the American "New York Times". It has been republished 12 times in just ten years. Nobel Prize winners Hu Shi and Pearl S. Buck prefaced it. This book is called "How to Cook and Taste Chinese Food" from the famous legendary wife Yang Buwei of the Republic of China. By the 1960s, 27 editions had been published and translated into more than 20 languages. The material for Yang Buwei's writing of this book was originally when she accompanied her husband at the Academia Sinica in Nanjing. In order to improve her skills, she went to various famous restaurants to get art. Some restaurants didn't let her go to the back kitchen, so she ordered the signature dishes to eat by herself, eating and thinking, and then went home to cook for experiments. She also made a lot of cards to write down the taste characteristics of each dish, the types of ingredients, the quantity, etc., to collect information on each dish by dish; she also used the opportunity of following Zhao Yuanren to conduct fieldwork in various parts of China to collect The cookbook made this book not only include Anhui cuisine, but also the food culture of all parts of China. This led to the publication of this Chinese cookbook that was sold well in the United States. This book was extremely valuable at the time. Yang Buwei was born in a large family in the late Qing Dynasty. There are 128 houses, 34 people and countless servants. She is not only well-educated, but also versatile. She is also the first female doctor of medicine in China to study in Japan. She has a happy marriage and fruitful work. She married at the age of 32 and raised four outstanding daughters, the eldest daughter Zhao Rulan, who studied music and phonetics at Harvard, and later on Buddhist music and language in Harvard. She was the first Chinese female professor at Harvard University. The second daughter, Zhao Xinna, studied chemistry and also graduated from Harvard. After returning to China, she has been working at Changsha Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Three daughters, Zhao Laisi, studied mathematics, graduated from University of California, and taught at Cornell University. The four girls, Zhao Xiaozhong, studied physics, graduated from Cornell University and worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The rise and fall of a family is inseparable from family background and family education. We often say that "a tiger father has no dogs". In addition to genetic influences, human personality is also affected by growth environment and education. Parents are the first teachers of their children. Their speech, behavior, style, living habits, etc. are all the objects of children's learning and imitating. In addition to the education level and ideology of the parents, they also have a great guiding role for their children. Yang Buwei was born in a prominent family, suffered the War of Resistance against Japan, fled in the bombing of Nanjing, picked up vegetables and fruits that fell on the roadside when the United States was poor, and pawned and sold his own leather goods. We often say that we are not rich for three generations, and good family style is the most valuable inheritance. The daughters of the Yang family are all elites, each good at cooking, and they can make good-looking and delicious food. This has a huge relationship with their mother's tough character, love of life, and serious work style.
We often say that when a person depends on his family and how his parents treat their elders, their children will learn how to deal with their elders. Nowadays, it is advocating "Hundreds of good filial piety first", it is better to start from going home to cook a meal for your parents, starting from a simple little thing. Little things and housework are a test of a person, who can take care of all the little things and housework in an orderly manner. We are not afraid that his children will not be good and the work will not be successful.
Finally, we can see a truth from these three stories. "If a room is not healed, why is the world and the country?" Excellent people can succeed in big and small things, and the most important thing is to take the small things seriously from the people around them. Therefore, we advocate returning to the basics, put down the phone, unload the takeaway, and no matter how busy you are at work, don’t forget to go home during the Chinese New Year, help your parents do the cleaning, and cook the good dishes yourself. Because if this thing is done well, other things will definitely get better.
