Features:Jin Yong said of Cai Lan: "When it comes to charm and talent, I cannot match Cai Lan. He is a truly free-spirited person." Wong Kar-wai said of Cai Lan: "He is a person I can trust." Ni Kuang said of Cai Lan: "Cai Lan can write anything he sets his mind to. Once, he used my name to submit his script to a producer, who then paid the script fee to me immediately. If I were to die, he would come to pay his respects." Cai Lan said of Jin Yong: "He is the person I admire the most, because back then, I was so captivated by his novels." Cai Lan said of Wong Kar-wai: "Wong Kar-wai's talent in music is undeniable, and his understanding of music is also very fascinating." Cai Lan said of Ni Kuang: "Ni Kuang is not a human, but an alien. His mind is very agile, and the things he thinks of are always bizarre and unconventional, so it is always a pleasure to talk with him. We often laugh heartily." Mr. Cai Lan is a master of the pen and a man of true character. He is called a master of the pen rather than a skilled one because his writings cover everything from north to south, from all walks of life, from food and drink to entertainment, and he writes about everything vividly and brilliantly, in a way that is astonishing and amusing. Although his language is simple, his works are highly readable. He is called a man of true character because he does not pretend to be scholarly or cultured. He appreciates and respects the opposite sex. Although he is a filmmaker, enjoys writing, and is skilled in seal carving, he is undeniably charming and free-spirited, yet he often walks by the river without getting his feet wet—truly remarkable. Mr. Cai Lan has written so many books that titles like "Obsessed with Material Things," "Carelessly Incompetent," "A Pretender to Culture," "Recklessly Unrestrained," and even "Old Man of Jokes" could all serve as book titles. His works have already been collected in over forty varieties, but this was based on statistics from four years ago. Now, the number has likely exceeded sixty or seventy.
