1. Chunghwa pencil

Chunghwa's history can be traced back to 1935 when the nation's first pencil enterprise was established in Shanghai by a Chinese businessman who used to study in Japan. In March 1954, the Chunghwa 101 drawing pencil was officially launched, marking the first time drawing pencils were made in China. Having weathered many ups and downs over a period of 80 years, the company now owns two brands, Chunghwa and Greatwall, which receive orders from 54 countries and regions around the world. Chunghwa has been the pencil of choice at various important meetings throughout history, and was also used by Chinese astronauts aboard the Shenzhou 7 during the country's third human spaceflight mission.
