  • 这就是后来的“东坡肉”。一个刚刚从死亡边缘回来的人，却有心情研究怎么把肉炖得更香，这本身就很了不起。

    zhè jiùshì hòulái de dōngpōròu yí gè gānggāng cóng sǐwáng biānyuán huílai de rén què yǒu xīnqíng yánjiū zěnme bǎ ròu dùn de gèng xiāng zhè běnshēn jiù hěn liǎobuqǐ

    This became what is later known as Dongpo pork. That a man just back from the brink of death had the heart to study how to make stewed pork tastier is remarkable in itself.
