For the old Englishman, sesame cake is an important treat and sacrifice for every family. Crisp and smooth, tough and transparent, soft and fragrant, representing the "Nan 'an taste on the tip of the tongue" passed down from generation to generation. Born in 1984, Hong Binghuan inherited his father's career and became the inheritor of Ma Shu. In his view, "In the past, sesame cakes were made to fill the stomach, but now they are mostly made to taste the culture and feel the taste of hometown. "
Hong Binghuan, who has made a mess, has been busy with something that has nothing to do with business recently, but seems urgent to him-collecting old photos of the changes in Du Ying town since the reform and opening up 40 years ago. In a month's time, more than 200 families, 40 years' memories and hundreds of old photos, Hong Binghuan is constantly running around for it, and sometimes he can't sleep for several nights in a row. "Old photos record the changes of the times, which can awaken everyone's memory of the city and also a return to the original culture."
Among the old photos collected by Hong Binghuan, there are humanities, people, environment and certificates, a tailor Hong who started with an old sewing machine more than 30 years ago, and an "educational family" Hong Benxun who has been engaged in teaching and educating people for three generations ... A clarion call 40 years ago opened the curtain of reform and opening up, and the introduction of Jinjiang experience 16 years ago injected new vitality into Fujian's development. Old photos, which record the transition from young to old, from poverty to wealth, are the epitome of a generation of British people. They were born here, started businesses here, and nurtured the future here. They are the mosaic of the times. A little farther away, you can see personal growth, family struggle and urban changes in the great era.
The pocket is small enough to be packed in a paper box, but it embodies the identity memory of the British. Du Ying Town is also small, but Hong Binghuan is proud of Du Ying. She is the epitome of many small towns that are speeding up in this era. Today, Hong Binghuan has two small goals: one is to let more young people know about the earth-shaking changes in their hometown in the past few decades with the exhibition "40-year-old photos of Du Ying Town", leaving more historical marks here; The second is to let Fujian people who are working hard to start a business outside, and always feel the warm memories from their hometown with a little numbness.
