Since the bankruptcy of eternal life was acquired, only the hero of the domestic fountain pen has been left to carry the handle. The predecessor of the hero was founded in 1931 Huafu Golden Pen Factory, renamed in 1966, although it has been widely praised as a national brand, but the lack of creativity and quality control have to be admitted.
The hero chooses to pay homage to the classics. In 1958, the hero first put forward the slogan of "catching up with Parker", and developed the 14K gold pen Hero 100 based on Parker 51, which took more than 9 months before and after, and Shanghai Tianma Film Studio also filmed the film "Hero Catches Parker". Although the creativity is not his own, it is not good to use the word "copycat" to erase the hero's efforts. In the 80s, Hero launched the Hero 200, which imitated the Parker 75 extended version of the Premier, under the slogan of "Two Catch Parker". By the end of the 1980s, the hero gold pen occupied more than 70% of the market share in China, and was in an absolute dominant position.
As a cheap alternative to Parker 51, the hero 100 has become the first gold pen for many Chinese people with its price advantage, although the appearance is very similar, but due to the low price and poor quality control, there are often crooked tips, poor water and paper scraping, how long to run in to no avail, the pen body is often scratched, and even more will burst the rod. Because of this, buying the Hero 100 is jokingly called a "gambling pen", and sometimes you can buy a better writing than the Parker 51, so it is recommended to try to write a few more in the physical store.
At present, in addition to the 100 series price in the 200 yuan range, the hero hot sales are basically 100 yuan of the tip pen, of which the most popular is 359, which is basically made according to the Lingmei Safari series, but the gap in the mold can still be seen at a glance.
