I closed my restaurant to fund my son's studies abroad, only to be repaid with contempt and a broken relationship. Lin Hai, a veteran chef who had lived in seclusion for many years, chose to leave on his own at the age of seventy. He neither blamed fate nor complained. Instead, he quietly picked up his wok and spatula again, making a fresh start with a long-lost traditional dish passed down through generations. From selecting ingredients and tending the stove to controlling the heat, he approached every step with care and followed the natural way of cooking. Amid the ordinary warmth and bustle of everyday life, he revived the craftsmanship and spirit of traditional cuisine. Not only did he find a new lease on life, but through perseverance and tolerance, he also helped younger people who had lost their way. The way of cooking is the way of being human; when the heat is just right, life itself will move steadily toward a brighter future.
