Pain in the buns for baker

Jiangxi shop keeper is forced to defend his trademark after expanding business in Beijing

When Bao Caisheng carried both his luggage and baking dream north to Beijing 14 years ago, he couldn't have known that his little bread business would turn into a yearlong, nonstop trademark battle.

Born in Zixi county, Jiangxi province - known to some as the hometown of Chinese bread - Bao started learning the bread craft at a young age from his parents, who gave up their fishing business in Zhejiang and moved to Zixi after falling in love with baking.
