Chinese Cheongsam Won The Silver Medal Of Chicago World Expo In The 30S Of Last Century.

This year, China is fighting for World Expo in 2010. It was reported shortly before: "the Chinese won the first prize in World Expo", which recalls the memory of Mr. Lu Jin, who lives in Hongqiao.

He told reporters about a past 70 years ago. His father, who founded the Hongxiang company in 1914, participated in 1933 World Expo, Chicago. At that time, six fashionable cheongsam was awarded the silver medal of the World Expo.

Mr. Kim, the deputy general manager of his father's company, was responsible for the compilation and compilation of the company's brief history. Recently, when he looked through the old files of the company, he saw a written record that he had participated in the world exposition in 30s, and the time should be shortly after the opening of the branch of Nanjing Road (1932).

According to Mr. Kim's elder brother, the World Expo was held in the United States at that time.

After finding the information, the reporter confirmed that Hongxiang company participated in the 1933 Chicago World Expo, which was confirmed in an "economic reference" newspaper and its internal publications in 80s.

According to Mr. Kim, the women's fashion produced by the father company in 1933 was very popular in the society.

At that time, Mr. Kim, who was only more than 10 years old, heard from his father one day that he met with the acquaintance of the World Expo preparatory work, Mike kuibo at the Golden Gate Hotel in Shanghai.

At that time, Mr. Kim's father, in order to seize the opportunity to improve his clothing popularity, specially produced 6 new styles of cheongsam for Miao kuibo and sent him to the Chicago World Expo.

Unexpectedly, cheongsam became popular and won the silver award.

At that time, the old tailor who had made clothes told Mr. Kim that the six cheongsam sent to World Expo was colorful and fashionable, with different lace and fork types and distinct lines.

Foreigners like this kind of clothes very much. Later, when Queen Elizabeth I was enlisted, they also produced a set of exquisite Chinese embroidered gowns. The queen thanked her for her signature and sent thanks.

Song Qingling also made an inscription "praise and bring forth the new, make the best of the world, the essence of Chinese goods, and the economic dry city".

Time flies, time is no longer. In the past 80 years, like a wave of fingers, the young champion of the year is now an old man. Now that China is bidding for World Expo, Mr. Kim wants to borrow the morning paper to sincerely wish China to bid for World Expo's success.

He expects to see women's Fashion Awards again in World Expo in their lifetime.

Due to the long distance, the winning certificate was not available for the time being.

Shen Bo Office official told reporters that this matter is not recorded in their existing materials.

But if it is proved to be true, it is indeed a good thing. On the one hand, it is a supplement to China's participation in World Expo's history. On the other hand, it has also proved that China's relations with World Expo have been very close.
