Meanwhile, a short-film, made by Shanghai Daily and telling the story of how the coffee beans are grown in Manzhuang and how the Shanghai government helped the village lift itself out of poverty by boosting its coffee plantation industry, will also premiere at the auction event.

Protagonists in the film, including Eric Baden, founder and CEO of Coffee Commune, and Li Jianwu, Chief of the Coffee Farm in Manzhuang Village, together with Gao Ceng, the film’s producer, will meet the guests during the event.
