Jinhua News Client, March 12, news reporter Wang Weiying/photographed by Hu Xiaofei/photographed Passing through the bustling Hefang Street in Hangzhou with many shops, walking along the century-old Wanlong Ham Store, Zhang Xiaoquan, Hu Qingyutang, and then turning Entering Dajing Lane, you can see an old house with white walls and black tiles. Ma Xiaozhong, the president of the Jinhua Ham Industry Association, and Huang Shan, the current director of the Jinhua Ham Factory, saw the "ham billboard" on the door at a glance: "The ladies who go to Jinhua by the Hangjiang car must buy the ham of Huafang Leg House. , Excellent preparation method, fragrant taste, gift to relatives and friends, sanitation and nourishment! Address: Jinhua Xishi Street."

The "Republic of China style" billboard hung on the gate of the mansion at No. 44 Dajing Alley in downtown Hangzhou brings the sight of the citizens and tourists back to that long time ago. Displayed on the wall together with the billboard, there are pictures and a handbook. Every day they open the door of the house and hang them out, close the door and take them back. The current owner of No. 44 Mansion, Jin Yingzhi, repeats this series of actions day after day. Nothing else, just to miss their grandfather Jin Shihui.

"Visitors all said that your ancestors made hams. Do you have hams for sale?" Jin Yingzhi had to say regretfully. No hams were sold in the house. She only knew that grandpa made hams and used the savings from operating hams for future generations. Get out of this big house. After retiring, Jin Yingzhi and his two younger brothers, Jin Ge and Jin Mingen, guarded the house and the boxes of stories about his grandfather and Jinhua Ham. Ma Xiaozhong said that in the history of Jinhua Ham’s development, Jin Shihui is a legendary existence, and his contribution is indispensable. The factory he founded has created many "firsts": he was the first to establish an industry consortium and the first to use "Jinhua Ham". ”Logo, opened the first public-private joint ham factory, the first to write ham processing operating procedures, the first to invent the "five prevention" fermentation room, the first to establish the Communist Party of China branch in the factory, and the first to establish Jinhua Ham Middle School; The first ham technician interviewed by Chairman Mao, Ding Shifu, came from their factory, and he was also the first provincial CPPCC member in the ham industry. The Jinhua ham produced in his factory was the first to be awarded the Excellent Product Award by the governor. The factory has trained Master Yu Liangkun, China’s first national-level non-genetic inheritor of ham processing skills...

"We have almost no historical data about Jin Shihui. We just listened to people in the industry. This time we learned that his descendants were in Hangzhou, so we came." Ma Xiaozhong said that he has been looking for this ham industry for many years. The trace of the legendary person, I accidentally read a WeChat article "Jin Shihui and Jinhua Ham" a week ago, immediately contacted the author Cheng Chunsheng, and then made contact with Jin Shihui's grandchildren.
　　 Hearing that someone from the Jinhua Ham Industry Association was coming, the descendants of Jin Shihui were extremely excited. They collected and sorted out the manuscripts, pictures, certificates, newspapers and other materials kept at home early.

Like Jin Shihui's descendants, Huang Shan, the director of the Jinhua Ham Factory, took over the factory from his father Huang Zhiqing and launched his own brand "Jindu Ham". "Jin Shihui founded the Jinhua Ham Factory. After 91 years of ups and downs, it has now passed into my hands. I have the responsibility to protect it and let it flourish." Huang Shan said. When Jin Yingzhi's brothers and sisters presented a stack of Jin Shihui's manuscripts, Huangshan seemed to have opened a century-old "dialogue" with the founder, Jin Shihui.
