In order to thank Mao Zedong for his kindness, the new leadership decided to send a Ginseng tree to Mao Zedong to wish him a long and healthy life, the task of selecting candidates fell to Zheng Lanfang and Lin Changlong. The two of them came to the mountain where the predecessors had crouched down to participate. They unexpectedly and magically dug up a 410-gram, 3-inch-long, old Ginseng tree. After processing the Ginseng into sugar, they also attached a policy inquiry letter, ask individuals to produce Ginseng can not participate in the purchase, by the high-end Club after their own processing products for sale. More than ten days later, the General Office of the Communist Party of China wrote back, "Chairman Mao has received the Ginseng and will not give it away, " the notice said. "On the issue of personal production, because your society is special, you can process it yourself and sell it to the state to promote the high-level social and economic development of the participating regions. "

His Monkey Sugar Ginseng, which he made for the Haute Society, was dedicated to Mao Zedong and became the most glorious thing in his life.
