Wang Guowei has a sweet tooth. There is a large vermilion cabinet in the bedroom, and the upper two floors are dedicated to snacks.Sixty years later, his son still remembered that when he opened the cabinet door, there was a wide variety of things to see, like a small candy store, ranging from Soviet-style refreshments such as jelly-cut candies, small peach slices, cloud cakes, and crisp candies, to red dates, candied dates, Poria cocos cakes, Walnuts, pine nuts, etc., everything.His wife went to the city from Tsinghua Garden to buy snacks and daily necessities every month, and when she came back, she must have a rickshaw full, and those exquisite snacks were prepared for him.Every day after lunch, he would light a cigarette and drink a cup of tea, and then he would go to the study to work. After a few hours, he would go to the cabinet in the bedroom to find snacks.

Wang Guowei likes to eat braised pork, but it must be made by his wife. He also often eats Chinese cabbage, tomato, eggplant, and eggs. He also likes tofu, dried tofu, fennel and other soy products, as well as dumplings, sesame cakes, and steamed buns. I seldom eat fish, probably because it is not widely available in Beijing. Apart from stewed chicken, I rarely cook soup.He doesn't like many fruits. He likes watermelon, oranges, persimmons, grapes, etc., but he doesn't eat cantaloupe in summer, and he doesn't allow children to eat it, thinking it's not good for digestion. Wang Guowei's favorite place to go is Liulichang. He just looks at antiques and mainly buys second-hand books. If he encounters a book he wants in a bookstore, he must buy it.So Madam knew that he was going to visit Liulichang, so she had to prepare money for him first.Once he returned home with a smile on his face, opened the package as if he had found a treasure, and found a book inside. He said that what he wanted was not the book, but an old page in the book.

When Wang Guowei was in Beijing, he often went to Xuanwai Street to drink big wine tanks (small hotels) at night, with salted edamame and boiled peanuts;Although he drinks very little and his face turns red after a little drinking, he still enjoys it. Wang said that he used this to find the flavor of Gaoyang's alcoholic.
