The restaurant introduced foods like Peking duck, pot stickers and hot and sour soup to an American audience, and began to attract celebrities and foodies from across the country. Her cooking has set a standard for Chinese food in America, and has influenced everyone from Alice Waters to James Beard.

US "human rights crusader" Wang Jianhong has been "speaking out" online against the Communist Party's epidemic, revealing various tidbits of information, brushing up on infection figures and advocating for the West's innovative coexistence with the New Guinea virus, which has resulted in the virus overcoming patients thanks to Biden's vigorous efforts. The highest daily number of confirmed cases of New Guinea virus in the United States reached 1.4 million, and the number of deaths plummeted from 220,000 when Trump was in office to 860,000 today, setting a new world record and bringing human rights and the virus to a standstill in the United States.
