编后话 Editor’s Epilogue

郭贤福 Bernard Kok

2018年，我有幸与一家人从马来西亚的槟城回到中国广东省西阳镇上罗乐。我的高曾祖父
165年前左右离开的故乡，并在那里见到了作者的父亲和其他宗亲。我凭着曾祖父所编写的家

谱，找到了我家的祖籍地。一番寻根之旅，仿佛为我揭开了祖辈们在故乡生活的面纱。
让我印象深刻的是我们一家在西阳镇享用的一顿地道的客家午餐。菜肴美味独特，其中大
多数的菜品都是我在马来西亚从未尝试过的。当时，我突发奇想：是否应该把这些地地道道的
客家菜介绍给马来西亚华人，特别是嘉应同乡们？
在上罗乐，我见到了这本食谱作者郭华群的父亲和其他宗亲。我非常自豪，也非常开心能

够与郭华群这位客家名厨合作。按照家族辈分，他是我的侄孙。
我要特别称赞华群为这本食谱付出的努力和奉献。他不仅精心呈现了这些令人垂涎的客家
菜肴，还通过这些菜背后的故事，将客家祖辈的智慧与饮食文化发扬光大。他的辛勤付出让我

们有机会更深入地了解并欣赏客家饮食的丰富内涵，也让更多人感受到这份传承的珍贵。
最后，我也要感谢所有为这本食谱付出的人们。

In 2018, I had the privilege of traveling with my family from Penang, Malaysia, to Shangluole,
Xiyang Town, Guangdong Province, China—the hometown my great-great-grandfather left about
165 years ago. There, I met the author’s father and other clan relatives. Guided by the genealogy
book compiled by my great-grandfather, I was able to locate my ancestral hometown. This journey

of tracing my roots felt like unveiling the veil of my ancestors’ lives in their homeland.
A lasting impression from my visit to Xiyang Town was the authentic Hakka lunch my fam-
ily and I enjoyed. The dishes were both delicious and unique, with most of them being flavours I
had never experienced in Malaysia. At that moment, an idea struck me: should I introduce these
truly authentic Hakka dishes to the Malaysian Chinese community, especially to our fellow Kaying
clansmen?
In Shangluole, I had the privilege of meeting the father of this cookbook’s author, Guo

Huaqun, along with other clan relatives. I am incredibly proud and delighted to collaborate with
Guo Huaqun, a talented Hakka chef. According to our family lineage, he is my grandnephew.
I want to especially commend Huaqun for the effort and dedication he has poured into this
cookbook. Not only has he meticulously showcased these mouthwatering Hakka dishes, but he has
also brought to life the wisdom and culinary heritage of our Hakka ancestors through the stories
behind the recipes. His hard work provides us with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the
rich essence of Hakka cuisine while allowing more people to cherish the value of this cultural legacy.
Finally, I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the
creation of this cookbook.
