A private kitchen story

Grandma Li, a master of menstrual art. Menstruation (see brine goose), miscarriage, heavy bleeding, stillbirth, are you ready?

It should be said that Li Bihua's "Dumpling" is the source of the hot-selling gourmet essays, stories and short videos.

Wouldn't it be more courageous for a woman to find a solution on her own than a woman who complained and didn't know how to ask for help? If there is a temple gate, it is also trampled by abandoned women. Miriam Yeung ate a stillborn child until her face was radiant, until she had not conceived for many years and became pregnant, until she stabbed the fetus in her belly with a one-foot-long iron wire hand, which was the Nirvana entrusted by the Buddha, ignorant, bloody, dirty, and deceitful, and gained eternal life. The point is not conception, Miriam Yeung's ending will be to receive a plate of dumplings, eat a stillbirth, and help others live forever.

The men in Li Bihua's food stories are all thin, they are carnivorous beasts. They "eat" one woman after another, and in order for a woman to survive in a man's world, she must first become a carnivorous beast, whether it's eating a man or a preterm baby. It can only be said that women's own world is too narrow, and they would rather live than seek in themselves.

In the film, Leung Ka Fai and the young woman are shirtless, and she wonders if Miriam Yeung will eat Leung's child that the young woman is pregnant with. Looking back at the original novel, it was true. There was even a scene where Liang Jiahui took the dumpling Xishi in her house. In terms of adaptation, the movie made Miriam Yeung make and eat her own child, and the scene where she stretched out her long tongue and licked the blood on the corner of her mouth with a sinister smile, was harder and weirder.

Dumpling Xi Shi's small workshop induced labor, the girl's blood stained the bus, and Miriam Yang's personal abortion, I really can't accept it! A woman's life is a bloody life. horrible. Terrible. According to Li's vocabulary, communism is equivalent to patriarchy!

The dumpling skin is still opaque.

I also looked back for the information of "Dumpling", only to find that I was watching the edited version on the Internet. . . Please ignore the plot discussion

Dumplings quotes

  • Mei, the cook: Let me tell you, all expensive cosmetics claim to contain precious stuff like bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder, pollen, royal jelly, whatever. Who cares? For women to rejuvenate, you must start from inside for the best result. Only my secret formula can do this. Mrs. Li, think of the results, not what it was.

  • Mei, the cook: [singing] Rough is the nature of Lake Hung / My home is on the shore / At dawn, boats go out with nets / At dusk, they return loaded with fish / Wild ducks and lotus roots are here / The scent of rice fills our autumn air / They say heaven is beautiful / How can it compare with my Lake Hung?
