ZiQi wrote the following when she released this video on Chinese social media on father's day 2016 :
I don't have a signature dish. I just heard from grandma that you liked it.
I don't remember your face, but there's always a silhouette in my head, and I know that it's you.
It hasn't been easy without you by my side.
It's been twenty two years. I really miss you.

"There's a century-old walnut tree growing in JiuFang, YunNan province, which can yield more than 1,500 kilograms of walnuts a year. Each year during the harvest season, I would go and get some walnuts for later use. Compared to newly grown trees, its walnuts are more fragrant and tasty. They are the perfect ingredients for making porridge or cold salad dish."
"Under the red pine trees above 3,000 meters sea level, there is a fairy ingredient - 松茸 (Matsutake; the French call it Champignon de pint). It's an edible fungus with extremely high nutritional value and a very special aroma. It still can not be artificially cultivated. From "Charcoal Roasted Matsutake" to "Matsutake Chicken Soup" to "Matsutake Wine" ... I made these dishes with the utmost devout ritual using this most precious ingredient!"
"On Mid-Autumn Festival, I made a wooden mold to make five-nuts mooncake from my childhood memory.
When I was young, I love to eat melon seeds, peanuts, crystal sugar in five-nuts mooncake, and occasionally I could eat a bit of sour pericarpium citri reticulatae.
When l eat such a five-nuts mooncake again, all the memories come back."
