The founder of Crystal Peak Catering Company is said to be a Korean soldier, Liu Zaiguan. In October, 1997, Liu Zaiguan reported the idea of "bringing Korean cuisine and kimchi to China" to the North Korean government, which won strong support. North Korean authorities sent him excellent food experts, chefs and waiters to help Liu Zaiguan set up Beijing Crystal Peak Catering Company in China. Liu Zaiguan became the first Korean to start a business in China.
