Eat Bitter: A Story About Guts, and Food (Lydia Pang) Guanajuato in need of the balm'Eat bitter' is a Chinese proverb meaning endure hardship to taste sweetness.' For Lydia Pang, it embodies the struggles of her Hakka ancestors, a Chinese ethnic group subjected to forced migrations whose ingenuity produced a distinct food culture based on fermenting and foraging. Pang reimagines eating bitter as a philosophy to confront her own challenges: burning out, testing her marriage, navigating fertility struggles and caring for a parent.
