Huaibei is a coal city and a wine country. The history of winemaking in Suxikou, Huaibei has a long history. In the past, the brewing workers in Huaibei worked so hard that they earned less than ten cents a day, and they could not afford a mat even if they died.

It is well documented that in the 2nd year of the Wanli html in Huaibei, there were more than 10 winemaking workshops including Yuncheng and Guangyi. From the seventh year of Qianlong to Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1802), there were more than 20 wineries in Bianxikou. In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), the Jinpu Railway was opened to traffic, and the export was favorable. The streets and alleys of Bianxikou were blooming everywhere, with as many as 72 wineries, with varying sizes and large ones almost equivalent to the current winery. At that time, folk song : "Tuancheng is seventy-two, all the methods are available in the center. Thousands of urns are top-quality, and the sweet and beautiful springs are the best."

At that time, winery workers were particularly laboring, but their wages were very low. The hardest and most tiring one was the wine steamer.

Fuquan Brewery's boss Wang Junqing is particularly stingy and harsh to the workers. When you go out, you should monitor the workers closely. You can smell the fragrance of the wine, but you can't drink the wine you brewed by yourself. Boss Wang is nicknamed "Wang Sansou". After a long time, the workers even forgot his real name. Zhou Junzhe, the owner of Xieju winery, made a fortune by squeezing workers' blood and sweat, and became a well-known rich man with a wealth of assets and the banknotes issued were circulated within a radius of hundreds of miles. In 1934, Boss Zhou owned two Japanese Toyota luxury cars and a luxury house viewing building. Workers and bosses have different lives.
