After 1911, the men of insight whom Wu Juenong represented actively introduced modern science and technology as well as managing system to perform a series of improvements and reforms in tea industry. These laid a foundation for development of Chinese tea industry. But it made little progress. Tea industry then declined rapidly because transportation was blocked and tea areas were occupied by the enemy.

History is continuous. As one piece of fuel is consumed, the flame passes to another.
