Xing Amei Brand was founded by Zhang Yuanfu, a native of Zhangjiapo, Heshun Cross Road, in Awa, Myanmar, and its main business is silk and cloth. It was deeply appreciated by the rich merchant of the royal family in the inner courtyard of the Palace of Myanmar, so the silk merchant character xiao Fu is well-known far and wide.
The king of Burma twice set up his capital in Aramabula. Zhang Yuanfu also set up shop in the new capital and made a lot of profits a few years later. In the early years of the Reign of Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Yuanfu returned to China and left his silk business to Zhang Chengkai, his second son.
