Around 1940, Li Zhihong's father, Wu Zhongcheng inherited the sculpture of this hemp cake, and further improved it. Later, he set up a store on Daibei Street to end the tourism life.

In 1980, Li Zhihong, who graduated from high school, followed his parents into the Nanchong State Candy Factory (later changed to Nanchong Huahua Food) to work. He often went to the workshop to learn cakes, laying a good foundation for the hemp cakes of different flavors. Later, due to urban transformation, the store faced the site.
