Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

However, his companions. Among these people were children of celebrities, artists, and some marginalized people. Daqing often reveled at the dance, drinking, smoking, and occasionally even trying some relatively novel entertainment methods at the time.

He Daqing's parents were deeply disappointed with his behavior, but they were helpless. They tried to control him with money and arranged various opportunities for him to study abroad, hoping to change his lifestyle. However, Daqing's rebellious character made these efforts useless. He went to study in the UK, but spent most of his time in bars and parties, repeatedly delayed his studies, and finally returned to Shanghai with nothing.

After returning to China, He Daqing did not change. He continued to live an idle life. The family's wealth was enough to support him to do nothing, and he was happy to enjoy this unrestrained life. He occasionally participated in some family businesses, but soon lost interest and would rather spend his time on things he liked.

He Daqing became fascinated with art and literature. He was keen on collecting antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even tried to create his own works. He met a group of friends in the literary and artistic circles, and they discussed literature and philosophy together and organized small salons. Daqing's home often held various gatherings, becoming a landscape of the Shanghai literary and artistic circles at that time.

However, this kind of life did not allow He Daqing to find real satisfaction. Although he seemed carefree on the surface, he always felt empty and confused deep in his heart. He began to think about the meaning of his life and tried to find answers in literature and art. Although Daqing's creation had a certain talent, it never reached a professional level, which made him feel deeply frustrated.

By chance, He Daqing met a person who had a profound influence on him - a philosophy professor from Beijing. The professor's thoughts and views greatly inspired Daqing, and the two had a long exchange. The professor's thoughts inspired Daqing to think deeply about life, and he began to try to examine his life and choices from a philosophical perspective.

He Daqing's lifestyle remained unchanged, but his inner world had undergone a huge transformation. He no longer simply pursued material enjoyment, but began to focus on spiritual satisfaction. He continued to organize literary salons, but the topics were more about life, philosophy, and social issues. His friends also gradually realized the changes in Daqing, and although they still lived a luxurious life, these gatherings began to be full of sparks of thought.

He Daqing's parents were pleased with his change. They saw that their son was no longer a dandy who only knew how to enjoy himself, but a man with thoughts and aspirations. However, Daqing's lifestyle was always so bohemian. He refused to be bound by any form of responsibility and still insisted on his own attitude towards life.

He Daqing decided to buy a large single-family villa in the suburbs. The villa covers a vast area, surrounded by green trees and picturesque scenery. Daqing liked the tranquility and privacy here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, giving him more space to enjoy his life freely. The interior of the villa is luxuriously decorated, full of Daqing's personal taste and art collection, and each room is filled with his unique style.

Daqing often held various parties here and invited his friends to enjoy themselves. Cocktail parties, dances, and concerts were held in the villa without interruption, making it a popular place for celebrities. Daqing himself was also the central figure among them. He held a red wine glass and shuttled between the guests, laughing constantly.

"Come on, another drink!" Da Qing raised his glass and said to the beauties beside him. They were all his regular customers, young and beautiful, and liked to be around him.

"You are so generous, Daqing. Every time I come here, I feel like I have entered heaven." said a woman named Lingling, who looked particularly charming in a red long dress.

Da Qing smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "As long as you are happy, I am happy. Isn't life all about enjoying it to the fullest?"

Although these words were said lightly, Daqing felt a hint of loneliness in his heart. Although there were always many people around him, he knew that these people were not real friends. They came here just to enjoy the material luxury and a moment of pleasure. Once these things disappeared, they would also go away.

As the night went on, the party was winding down and most of the guests had already left. Daqing sat alone in front of the large French window, still holding a glass of red wine in his hand, staring at the night view outside the window. The moonlight sprinkled on the grass, making it look particularly peaceful. At this moment, he felt an unspeakable emptiness.

"Is this the life I want?" Daqing asked himself. He shook his head, trying to dispel the thought. Since buying this villa, his life seemed to become more indulgent, but the emptiness in his heart became more obvious.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Daqing was a little surprised. Who would come so late? He stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

"It's me." Standing outside the door was a tall woman named Lisa, an old acquaintance of Da Qing.

"Lisa, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" Daqing asked.

"I know you're still awake, so I came to check on you." Lisa's voice was soft and concerned. She walked into the living room and sat casually on the sofa. "You look a little tired. Have you been partying too often?"

Daqing smiled and sat opposite her: "Maybe, sometimes I feel that these things are too unreal."

Lisa looked at him with understanding in her eyes: "Daqing, don't you think it's too tiring to live like this? You are always pursuing pleasure, but you can't find true happiness."

Da Qing was silent for a while, then sighed: "Maybe that's the case, but I'm used to this kind of life, and I don't know what other choices I have."

Lisa gently held his hand and said, "You can try to find some real interests, not necessarily those illusory things. Life is not just about pleasure, there are many things worth exploring."

They often came to say hello. Although Daqing could not fully understand their words, he could feel their kindness and enthusiasm.

One day, Daqing found an old book in the yard, which contained some words and pictures about the era. He slowly learned some basic life skills and learned how to communicate with people around him. He began to try to express his ideas with gestures and simple language. Although he was still not fluent, his efforts were understood and supported by people around him.

Life in the courtyard became colorful. Daqing established a deep emotional connection with everyone in the courtyard. Although they knew nothing about where he came from, they accepted him and were willing to share this small world that belonged to them with him.
