At the age of 20, because of a bowl of shrimp noodles, he became famous in the snack stand under the banyan tree at the junction of Junkou street and Zhongshan Road in Xiamen. It is said that at that time, Wu Zaitian sold nearly 100 kilograms of noodles a day, and paid more than 100 yuan of tax a month. In fact, at that time, Xiamen had a large shrimp noodle shop.

After his retirement in 2004, Wu asked that no unit or individual should use the name "Wu Zaitian" without permission. From then on, a 11 year trademark lawsuit began. Is it for money? It seems to be, and it seems not. The "Wu Zaitian" signboard is of course very valuable. Both individuals and groups want to make money from it. But Wu Zaitian is more concerned that he can"t ruin his reputation. During the lawsuit, he even suggested that state-owned units could auction the "Wu zaitan" signboard in public and donate all the proceeds from the auction to charity organizations.

Wu Sihang told the Haixi morning post that the three words "Wu Zaitian" had long gone beyond the meaning of the code name. It was the crystallization of his life"s hard work and the insistence of his life. For decades, he insisted on his own standards and forged his own brand with ingenuity. According to his recollection, Wu Zaitian arrived at the store on time at 5:15 every day. Usually, before his aunts came to work, Wu opened the shop door and checked the counters, tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, stove and other utensils, and then cooked the first pot of big bone soup today. Wu Zaitian insisted on using this stove because he was worried that the gas temperature would not be enough and the taste of the food would change. When the first smell of Dagu soup wafted out, the door became lively, and the supplier"s ingredients were delivered on time every day. When the soup pot on the stove was boiling, the aunts arrived, and everyone began to prepare the ingredients for the day. Around 9 o"clock, guests began to come to the store. Wu Zaitian sat upright behind the cashier"s desk, like a great general and a sea god needle. In the afternoon, he did not return Home.
