China's vastness and abundance of resources make it impossible to fully explore in three generations, let alone consume. From my intuition, I can only highlight a few: In Guangdong, the hand-chopped pork siu mai reigns supreme. Fujian offers bamboo shoot jelly and thin pancakes. Sichuan delights with tripe open stomach dish. Shandong tempts with fried sauce noodles and Shandong big buns. Henan presents the water banquet, complete with a faux bird's nest made of thinly shredded radish boiled in soup, surpassing the taste of actual bird's nest. Hunan boasts the spicy big fish head, a watermelon-sized fish head steamed with various chilies, allowing one to savor the fish brain through a straw. Beijing offers hot pot mutton, with freshly sliced lamb leg as a prized ingredient. Shanghai serves up fried thick noodles, while Hangzhou brings forth clay pot duck wonton and Dongpo pork. Lastly, Ningbo offers roasted gluten. As for Hong Kong, a simple bowl of wonton noodles suffices to showcase its culinary prowess.

During a phone conversation, Brother Ni Kuang burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Hey, James Wong has established a Continuing Education Institute offering courses on creativity and innovation. Have you heard about it?" Curious, I replied, "I just returned from San'in in Japan, so I'm unaware. Please fill me in, you being a San Francisco resident and all." Brother Ni Kuang, well-informed as always, shared, "My online friend sent me the reservation form. The course will take place on two Sundays, April 25th and May 2nd, 1999, with two sessions each day from 2 pm to 4 pm and 8 pm to 10 pm."

Ni Kuang's life is marked by various distinct eras, akin to Picasso's different artistic periods. From his carpenter and HiFi phases to his goldfish, shell, mistress, and immigrant periods, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in each endeavor, becoming an expert along the way. Yet, when an era comes to an end, Ni Kuang never looks back. He willingly lets go of everything he has collected, reflecting his unique personality. During his shell period, he wrote numerous papers that garnered praise from foreign experts when sent to the International Shell Society. While the rare shells he collected would be of great value today, he simply laughed it off, feeling no regret.
