Features: "Man lives by bread alone." The saying goes, "Lei Gong does not strike those who are eating." Eating is a timeless topic. Whether it's eating out of hunger or eating abundantly, it's still eating. Small meals or big feasts, coarse food or fine dining, eating well or eating poorly, eating normally or eating eco-friendly, all lead to phrases like "eating bitterness," "eating losses," "eating jealousy," "eating one's words," "eating one's bullets," "eating labor benefits," "eating a cold shoulder," "eating inside and outside," and "eat or be eaten." Eating is like a world in turmoil, where even the clouds and water dare not show anger; eating is like shaking the five continents, where thunder and lightning can only fume in frustration. Chinese people seem to be able to eat anything. Chinese people seem to be eating their way into a bright red new world.
