Which dish contains your memories of Qiqihar?

My hometown is Qiqihar, the hometown of red-crowned crane. If I want to remember my hometown with a dish, I will choose pot-wrapped meat.

Pot-wrapped meat is a special dish in Northeast China, which may not be eaten by many friends in the south, but for a northeast person, a plate of pot-wrapped meat represents all the memories of his hometown.

Pot meat is very similar to Qiqihar. The material of pot meat is very simple, without too much seasoning. Just like Qiqihar's personality, as a city in the northeast, he always gives people a simple feeling, but this simplicity will not make you feel bored, but will have a feeling of returning to nature. I think this is the special meaning of hometown to everyone.

The first bite of pot-wrapped meat is not amazing, but once you eat it, you will always miss its taste. This feeling is very similar to my feeling about Qiqihar. When I was in the depths of this city, I didn't think it was beautiful, but once I left, I would have infinite attachment.

I have eaten the most authentic braised pork in Qiqihar. From small to large, braised pork has been accompanied by my life as a home-cooked dish, and so has Qiqihar. It's quiet, but it always accommodates all my emotions.

When I was a child, eating braised pork in Qiqihar never felt so beautiful, as if everything was so logical. But when I grow up, I study alone in a foreign land and wander in a strange city. It seems that braised pork is no longer as simple as a dish. Represents all my feelings for Qiqihar.

When I see pot-wrapped meat, I will think of living in Qiqihar for more than 20 years. There are innocence and confusion. These are unique memories of Qiqihar.

When I see pot-wrapped meat, I think of Qiqihar, a city. He is still standing there, welcoming the wind, frost, rain and snow of the four seasons and laughing at the joys and sorrows of the world. Qiqihar is also developing and changing with the passage of time, but I can firmly believe that even if things change, Qiqihar will always wait for me.
