Together with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, and Huang Zhan, Cai Lan, known as the "Four Talents of Hong Kong", has a rich and colorful life experience. He is both a dashing filmmaker and a gourmand who understands the art of living. His works have always been known for their accessibility, wisdom, timelessness and conciseness, and are deeply loved by readers.

In 2023, after Cai Lan's wife passed away, he did not go to a nursing home with no children and no daughters, but lived in a hotel suite with a panoramic sea view in Hong Kong, inviting many people to take care of himself. A few days ago, the 82-year-old accepted an interview with Yang Lan, talking about Cai Lan's choice not to have children since he was young, and now that he is old, whether he regrets being outdated, he shook his head again and again and said: "I have no regrets at all." Cai Lan said that he didn't like children because he couldn't take care of them, and he thought he hadn't grown up yet.

He recalled that actor Wang Yu once had a drama filmed in South Korea, and Cai Lan wanted to go home first to pack up before going together, but because of the tight time, the other party wanted to leave immediately, so Cai Lan had to listen to their arrangement and go directly to South Korea. Unexpectedly, after returning home, all the cages of sparrows raised at home died.

Because of this incident, Cai Lan made up his mind: "From now on, I think that you don't want to take care of the things you can't take care of." Then I can't take care of the child, so I swear not to raise anything again. ”

In addition, when talking about the topic of women's beauty, Cai Lan believes: "The most beautiful place for women is the brain, and this brain must be interesting to be useful." I think independent (women) are the cutest. In Cai Lan's view, women should have the concept of freedom and the spirit of autonomy, rather than talking about cars and clothes all day long, "That kind of woman is very stupid, five minutes, she knows exactly what she wants in her head, and it is boring." It's useless to look pretty though. ”

Previously, Cai Lan once shared his daily life, which is to sleep at any time, get up at any time, drink tea and play games when he gets up, which is a very simple life. If anyone asks him to do something, he will be scolded, "At this point, you still take care of me." ”

Cai Lan said, "My wife is one step ahead of me, and I am free now, which is a good thing, she has no pain at all." After his wife passed away, someone took him to the invincible sea-view room where he lives now, Cai Lan said yes after seeing the beautiful scenery outside the window, thinking: "Such a beautiful scenery, if you don't enjoy it, it seems to be very wronged." In his opinion, it is good to live one day at a time, and there is no way to know when to leave and when to stay. Just go without worrying about eating good things and traveling to see beautiful scenery.
