From Erguotou and Yanjing Beer in Beijing to Shanghai Beer, Shaoxing Wine, Shandong Sorghum Wine and Sake in Taiwan, etc., Wine is used as a clue to reconnect modern and contemporary literature and film and television works, reflecting the changes in Chinese culture and economic life, such as Paramount in Shanghai Ballroom Legend has it that the changes in China's economic system before and after reform and opening up, as well as the changes in the landscape of "public banquets" and "private banquets" brought about by the anti-corruption campaign in the past decade or so... The author is also a witness to the changes. The changes in the Chinese cultural circle since the reform and opening up are perfectly integrated with the author's study abroad experience.
