- Borscht (Russian red soup ) was brought to Shanghai by Russian refugees after the 1917 Russian Revolution. variations happened over time where beets were hard to find locally, tomatoes and tomato paste were added in to provide the red color, and the sweet sour flavors. the Chinese version of Russian red soup (罗宋红汤）is still popular in Shanghai today.
