蔡瀾逝世從不掩飾喜歡品女人

Cai LanHe was a man renowned for his culinary skills and talent, known to the world for his discerning palate, enjoyment of life, and appreciation for food. However, the younger generation may not know that he was also a charming and sophisticated man with a profound understanding of women. He never concealed his fondness for women, a frankness that set him apart. He once said that a man's appreciation of a woman is like savoring a fine dish—color, aroma, and flavor are all indispensable. His philosophy of "appreciating women" has been documented in countless articles and books, becoming a window for later generations to glimpse his inner world.

A charming and talented man with girlfriends all over Asia

Cai Lan was already famous in his youth. As a filmmaker, writer, and gourmet, his travels took him all over Asia, and his girlfriends were scattered across Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, and other places. Rumors circulated that he had over sixty girlfriends in his lifetime, changing almost one every year, making him a synonym for a womanizer. However, this talented man never considered these experiences as something to boast about. Instead, he transformed them into writing, writing books such as "Gossip Girls and Beauties in Cai Lan's Eyes" and "The Delicious Women Cai Lan Found," sharing his observations and insights about women. His writing is not merely a record of his romantic history; rather, he compares women to delicacies, emphasizing inner qualities, temperament, and unique flavor.

Cai Lan's mother, well aware of her son's personality, worried he would spend his days chasing after women and urged him to get married. Faced with numerous beautiful women from Tokyo, Taipei, and South Korea, Cai Lan asked his mother to choose for him, ultimately selecting Zhang Qiongwen, a film producer from Taiwan. Zhang Qiongwen not only shared Cai Lan's passion for film but also possessed excellent culinary skills, perfectly capturing the essence of Taiwanese cuisine. This woman, with her talent and charm, completely captivated this playboy. After marriage, Cai Lan bid farewell to his former playboy image, dedicating himself to marriage and becoming a devoted family man.

A woman's color, fragrance and taste

Cai Lan once said that what truly makes men "addicted" to women is not just their appearance, but their captivating charm and allure. He divides female charm into three layers: appearance, which is external attraction, perhaps bright eyes and white teeth, or graceful gestures; allure, which is inner charm, a personality that leaves a lasting impression; and charm, which is a woman's wisdom and independence, making her worth pursuing again and again. In his book "Cai Lan on Women," he wrote, "Beautiful women are as numerous as the stars, but those who truly leave a lasting impression must possess something unique." This viewpoint makes his writing not only a praise of women, but also a philosophy of life.

Cai Lan has traveled extensively throughout Asia, gaining in-depth observations of the characteristics of women in different regions. In his book, he compared the gentleness of Tokyo women, the vivacity of Taipei women, and the passion of Seoul women, but ultimately, he remains particularly fond of Hong Kong women. He says that Hong Kong women are the most knowledgeable about dressing; they don't necessarily only wear designer brands, but rather they have an innate understanding of color coordination. Whether in the shopping malls of Central or on the streets, you can always see well-dressed, confident women. He once joked, "A Hong Kong woman's wardrobe is her battlefield; color and tailoring are her weapons."

Hong Kong women's confidence

Cai Lan's assessment of Hong Kong women is always tinged with admiration and insight. He believes that the charm of Hong Kong women lies not in their appearance, but in their confidence. This confidence stems from their independence and hard work. In the fast-paced city of Hong Kong, women often build their careers independently, and this economic independence allows them to radiate a unique brilliance. Cai Lan writes, "Hong Kong women earn their own money and don't rely on men for support, so their confidence naturally arises. With confidence, they rarely undergo cosmetic surgery because they know that true beauty comes from within." However, he also points out a "flaw" in Hong Kong women: excessive confidence can sometimes make them picky about men, leading many to choose to remain single. But he immediately adds, "What's wrong with that? What era are we living in? Is it still true that women have to get married?"

Cai Lan's Inspiration for Women

Cai Lan's love for women was not merely a personal preference, but a passion for life. His writing taught men how to appreciate women and women how to love themselves. His books contained no vulgar descriptions, but rather recorded the beauty and uniqueness of women in an elegant way. Perhaps this is why Cai Lan's passing is so regrettable—he was not only a gourmet and writer, but also a philosopher who understood how to savor life. His words will forever serve as a bridge between men and women, allowing them to better appreciate and cherish each other.
