Zhukov, the owner of Zhu's Jiuqi, is a senior orchid friend in Shanghai, mainly raising Cymbidium and Chunlan. In addition to the famous "Zhu Jiuqi", it also has a large number of fine works such as "Zhu's Chrysanthemum Butterfly" (also known as Shencheng Lion) and new plum petals and strange flowers that have not yet been officially unveiled. Zhu's dill orchid environment for the balcony natural planting, although rain-proof, but no shade, in the hot and cold orchid has developed a strong physique, strong roots and leaves, gratifying growth.

Zhu's Jiuqi was found in 2001 in a place called Dongzhi in the mountains at the junction of Anhui and Jiangxi. Zhu's wife's original work unit had employees of local origin. When she heard that Zhu liked to raise orchids, she introduced the local orchid production situation to Zhu, which triggered the desire of Zhu to visit the local area. When Huilan blossomed in the spring of 2001, Zhu came to Dongzhi in the mountains. At that time, there were few mountain farmers who dug orchids for a living. generally, they could dig up a lot of flowering cymbidium by walking around the mountains during the flowering season, so it was reasonable that there was no orchid market. Locals keep orchids at home just to smell the fragrance, and there is no need to distinguish good orchids from traveling flowers. Chu often held orchid books and photos in his hand to ask the locals if they had ever seen similar petal-shaped flowers. A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and just when Zhu was desperate about whether he could get good flowers, a turning point quietly appeared. There is a mountain farmer who specializes in digging medicine. On the mountain, he has seen orchids that are very similar to the strange flowers in books. Because they are different from other orchids, they look very beautiful, so they remember where orchids grow. Zhu immediately asked the medicine farmer to pick it back after hearing the news. two days later, the medicine farmer came back with the "Zhu Jiuqi" which was arranging the bell. When Zhu saw the flower, he was immediately impressed by the charm of the flower. Because he was carrying two arrow flowers at that time, he carefully picked up an arrow bell to verify that it was a multi-petal, multi-butterfly flower from top to bottom, so he bought it for 6,000 yuan per seedling and 66,000 yuan for 11 seedlings. But there was a lot of success, and when Zhu was in high spirits to get good flowers, there came the news that a local bully was going to rob the orchid, and Zhu was scared to find a way to leave Dongzhi all night. After returning to Shanghai, another arrow flower blossomed smoothly, and the wonderful flower of Huilan, "Zhu Jiuqi" finally settled in Shanghai.
