The Soul of a Documentary

I've introduced a series of documentaries about Chinese cuisine to many Chinese-learner friends many times. One such series is " A Bite of China."

I loved this series so much, especially the first two seasons. They told us stories about ingredients that made delicious dishes, fields that grow these ingredients, the history of the fields and the skills, and people who inherited and developed food culture.

In my eyes, they are definitely masterpieces.

Season four came out recently. During the 5.1 holiday, I couldn't wait to watch the first episode. Then I noticed something was missing. I thought it was because this one was made by a new team.

This morning, when I was making breakfast for myself, I suddenly realized the real reason was that the new team didn't have a passion for the food.

If they do love food, they would be curious about where the food comes from, what the thing that chefs are most proud of during cooking is, and how the person eats it feels.

I mean, even when I was steaming my sweet potatoes, I was proud of how fresh they were, thinking about back to that store and buying them again.

Without love and passion, a masterpiece becomes an ordinary one.


我曾向很多学中文的朋友介绍过关于中国美食的纪录片。《舌尖上的中国》就是这样一个。

我非常喜欢这个系列,尤其是前两季。他们给我们讲了制作美味菜肴的原料、种植这些原料的田地、田地的历史和技艺,以及传承和发展饮食文化的人们的故事。

在我看来,它们绝对是大师之作。

第四季最近上映了。五一假期,我迫不及待地想看了第一集。然后我注意到少了一些东西。我以为是新团队做的缘故。

今天早上,当我在为自己做早餐的时候,我突然意识到真正的原因是新团队对食物没有热情。

如果他们真的喜欢食物,他们会好奇食物的来源,厨师在烹饪过程中最自豪的点是什么,以及人们吃它的感觉。

我是说,即使在我蒸红薯的时候,我也为它们的新鲜感到骄傲,想着再去那家店买一次。

没有热爱和热情,杰作也就变成泛泛之作了。

"a masterpiece becomes an ordinary one" is a little awkward here because we haven't clearly defined what "one" is standing in for.
