Who was the first person to drink Coca-Cola in China?

For many people, Coca-Cola may be more than just the name of a drink. It carries too much history and memory, even during the blockade of Shanghai, it once became hard currency. At that time, if anyone had coke in stock, he could ask his neighbors for anything he wanted. That's something money can't buy. Coca-Cola first entered China in 1927, and they set up their first factory in Shanghai, named Zhengguang and Soda Factory. At that time, Coca-Cola's Chinese name was "Cocoa Chewing Wax", which fully showed that foreigners knew nothing about China culture.

The beverage factory knows the importance of names to marketing and offers a reward of 350 pounds for finding names in newspapers. In the end, Jiang Yi, a native of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, won the championship, and the name "Coca-Cola" was born. I have to say that this translation is really exquisite. In the 1940s, the factory in Shanghai became the largest overseas factory of Coca-Cola, and its production line adopted the same technical standards as the United States. Coca-Cola 1948 withdrew from China, and the production line of Coca-Cola was dismantled and transported to Beijing. It is said that this is the first production line of Arctic Ocean soda factory. After 30 years in a hurry, Coca-Cola announced its return to China in June1978+February.

The following year, an American photographer boarded the Great Wall with several bottles of coke for photography creation, and one of the photos of a little boy smoking coke through a straw was particularly impressive. Then he announced that the little boy was the first person in China to drink Coca-Cola. Of course it's exaggerated ~
