Background story:

When talking about his Junhe, Chen Zejun will certainly mention two key figures. One is Wu Yongquan, an orchid enthusiast from Hongxing Township, Mingshan County, Ya'an City, Sichuan. Chen Zejun waited a full five years, and in the end moved Wu Yongquan with his sincerity, and only then purchased most of the original stock from him. But at that time, this flower had not yet appeared in the orchid world, nor had it gained social recognition. However, relying on his own love for orchids and his understanding of them, Chen Zejun believed that this flower would surely become famous. Sure enough, at the Sichuan Pengzhou Summer Orchid Exhibition held in August 1999, this flower that Chen Zejun brought immediately caused quite a sensation, and many experts, scholars, and orchid enthusiasts paid great attention to it. Here, Chen Zejun will also mention another key figure, and that is the elderly Mr. Chen Daikai, deputy secretary-general of the Sichuan Orchid Association. When he learned that Chen Zejun owned this flower, he gladly named it: "Junhe." This name truly struck a chord in Chen Zejun's heart. Such a good flower, is it not like a king among the Four Seasons Orchids? Of course, when Teacher Chen named this flower with the character "Jun," he also wanted to show the relationship between this flower and its owner, and together they bring out the best in each other.

In order to let more people know about "Junhe" and to let orchid enthusiasts across the country see a fine product from Sichuan, on September 14, 1999, Chen Zejun resolutely took "Junhe" and flew to Kunming to participate in the World Expo. He had already made full mental preparations, but he still had not expected that, under the picky eyes of numerous experts and authorities, Junhe would win the gold award at this World Expo in one fell swoop! This was also the only gold award won by any entry from Sichuan in this World Expo! As a result, he received an award certificate and medal personally signed by Vice Premier Li Lanqing! In fact, this is not only Chen Zejun's honor, but also the honor of all of Sichuan. After all, "Junhe" originated in Ya'an, Sichuan, was cultivated in Qionglai, Sichuan, and was named in Pengzhou, Sichuan. Its appearance even rewrote the history of the lotus petal type among Four Seasons Orchids.
