Some candy paper heads are printed with terms unfamiliar to modern youth, such as "public-private partnership" and "local state ownership". These are the crown words of candy manufacturers and factory names in those years, which record the specific history of industrial and commercial development in China. There are also candy brands, such as Guanshengyuan, Victoria and Sanxi, which were very famous at that time. Many of them are still familiar and popular today.

On the old candy paper in the 1930s, swimsuit beauties held round fans with deep affection, and their painting skills did not lose their monthly cards at all. "Tiger brand" five-flavored fruit candy was a high-grade candy in that year.

English trademarks and bright colors were the characteristics of candy paper in the Republic of China, but elegant patterns and fresh scenery usually appeared on candy paper in the early days of liberation. At that time, even candy paper undertook the task of political propaganda. Revolutionary quotations, eight model operas, and young people with "little red books" are all on candy paper.

Zhao Guoyu, a famous candy paper collector, is the first one in Shanghai. Mr. Zhao only collects "old" candy paper, of which the earliest one is nearly 90 years old and the latest one dates back to 1976. Cheng Yanqing began to collect candy paper in the early 1990s. Later, there were more and more candy wrappers, so she sorted them out in different categories, then posted them on the calendar, numbered them according to different categories, and then matched them with exquisite illustrations according to her mood. Since the early 1990s, her candy paper collection has covered six calendars with thousands of calendars.

In Cheng Yanqing's collection, she is most proud of the "Wow" series of candy wrapping paper produced by Shanghai Jiafeng Food Factory, complete set 120. On this set of candy paper, there are 120 kinds of exquisite animal patterns with English words painted on them. According to Cheng Yanqing, she probably collected this set of candy paper from 1994 to 1995. At that time, she only bought a few pieces of candy at first, but later found that there were numbers on it, and a row of numbers were not found, so she began to use various opportunities to collect and try to collect this set of candy paper completely. I remember that in order to collect this set of candy paper, she took advantage of the lack of people at noon and went to the candy area of Shilin Shopping Mall for help. At that time, she happened to have a student working in the candy group of the food forest, so she mobilized all the sales staff to help her choose different patterns of candy paper. More than half a year has passed, and she can't remember how many times she went to the food forest, and finally collected this set of "wow" series of candy paper.
