"Zhonghua" brand cigarette has gone through 62 years of development since it was born in 1951. In the past 5 years, "Zhonghua" cigarette has conquered consumers with its unique taste and charm, and won the reputation of China's first brand-Guoyan. After liberation, the Shanghai Military Management Committee accepted the China Tobacco Company of the National Government. According to the requirements of our superiors, we undertook the task of producing "the best cigarette brand". In 195, the state-owned China Tobacco Company accepted the development of "Zhonghua brand" cigarettes. At that time, Wang Chenghan, the chief of the factory affairs department of China Company, was given priority to. Zhu Zunquan (academician of China Academy of Engineering, former director of Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute) and Ding Ruikang undertook specific work such as leaf formulation, and studied production technology and standards of raw and auxiliary materials. Cao Da (former deputy general manager of China Tobacco Company) and the craft comrades carefully studied and designed the cigarette formula and made an unlicensed sample cigarette. When making sample cigarettes, for the sake of safety, the craft comrades were in the factory for two days and two nights, and Zhang Chunshen, the boss of Dadongnan Tobacco Factory, provided American tobacco AAB. After the sample cigarettes were made, Comrade Wang Daohan, then Minister of East China Industry, made a special trip to Beijing for Mao Zedong and other central leaders to evaluate and suck. After the central leadership evaluated the smoking, it gave a good evaluation of this sample cigarette. So, we planned to give the best cigarette a best name. Because the name of the company at that time was China Tobacco Company, the brand followed its name, and it was named "China".
