After winning the award at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in the United States in 1915, the small town of Maotai, which became famous for its wine, also became a historical stage that reflected the vicissitudes of the times. The opening of Wentong Bookstore connected the cultural context with the fragrance of wine, and the judgment of the gold medal competition allowed the two companies to share it together. The Cao and Cheng distilleries, representatives of the Maotai liquor industry, staged separations and reunions in troubled times. The Red Army crossed the Chishui River three times through Maotai, stirring up the blood of youth. Maotai liquor was also present at the Chongqing negotiations to witness the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Huairen, the eldest son of the Cao family with a mysterious life experience, endured humiliation and became a generation of winemaking masters. The Maotai people who respect their roots and uphold the principles were also fortunate to have Maotai liquor become the exclusive liquor for the first banquet of the founding of New China on October 1, 1949.
