In 1999 William Huang became the first barista to ever sell a cup of Starbucks Coffee in China. He tells us about discovering their ad in a Beijing newspaper, how working for this American company is different from being at a traditional Chinese company and meeting Howard Schultz in Seattle. Starbucks has been highly successful in China and William has risen with the chain. Today, after nearly 26 years with them, he manages more than 400 cafes.
Living History: Stories from the Opening of China is our new series of documentary interviews with Chinese, Americans and others about the experiences they had in the period between the reopening of China under Deng Xiaoping in 1979 and the Shanghai Expo in 2010. These crucial years and the people-to-people exchanges made during this time are a period whose memory we want to preserve with this series. Many of the stories we are recording here have never before been documented for the public. If you, too have a story from this time that you would like to tell us please do get in touch with us at chris@memostothefuture.com - we are continuously filming more interviews.
