Wei Ling (William, formerly known as Mai Yiu Tong), a senior gourmet and food critic in Hong Kong, passed away yesterday (January 24) at the age of 87. Born in 1936, Wei Ling worked as a translator and financial reporter, and later served as the editor-in-chief of “Sing Tao Daily” and “Zhenbao”. However, the most well-known person must be Wei Ling as a columnist and food critic. Wei Ling’s passing away this time is definitely a great loss for the food industry.
Do not call yourself a “foodie” and call yourself a “foodie”
Wei Ling loves food, and never regarded himself as a “foodie” during his lifetime, saying that he was just a “foodie”. Wei Ling has been writing food reviews for decades, and has published many food books, including “Spiritual Diet I-Eat Virtue Is Blessing” and “Spiritual Diet II-Food and Health”. He has also served as a catering consultant for many companies and institutions, and in 2005 he became the first person to be awarded the title of “Chinese Gourmet” by the China Hotel Association.
Guest star in “The House of Gold and Jade” as a gourmet
The image of a spiritual gourmet is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He once guest-starred in Tsui Hark’s Lunar New Year movie “Golden Jade Mantang”, starring Leslie Cheung and Anita Yuen. In the film, he played himself as a gourmet. The death of Wing Ling this time is definitely a great loss to the catering industry. Columnist Liu Jianwei also posted his condolences on Facebook: “An era is gradually dissipating. In this era, there are no more Ni Kuang, Jiang Xianzhu, and Wing Ling. May Uncle Wing Ling rest in peace .” The status of spirituality in the catering industry can be seen.
