Participation Goal

Sales

In this film, you will witness the true magic of Hakka pickling culture! The Hakka people use “not having enough salt” to describe a physically weak person, because in Hakka culture, salt is not only the source of energy but also a symbol of their culture. This film cleverly depicts the pickling process of various Hakka specialties, including preserved radish, suan-cai, fu-cai, dried pickled mustard green, and pickled pork, allowing you to experience the unique charm of this culture.
