== History ==
Fenghwa was founded in 1948 and China's first ever ballpoint pen factory.

== Name ==
Fenghwa adopted its name in 1952, 4 years after its founding. Today, 华 is transliterated as huá; But in 1952, the writing was not standardized yet.

== models ==
Specialised in ballpoint pen fabrication, Fenghwa made single, two, three and four colored ballpoint pens. All of the multicolored pen mechanisms were twist mechanisms.
There are two types of multicolor mechanisms by Fenghwa: The two-colored "92" line used mirrored, intersecting slots that the pen refills were sliding up and down in depending on rotation direction, alternatingly extending either to the tip. The rest of the two-colored and any with more colors used a simpler cam mechanism with continuous rotation in the left direction. (in comparison, Zebra Shabo had left-right non-continuous rotation)

The Fenghwa 92 is a very classic model of Fenghwa. It was first released about 1959, which is a tribute product released one year after the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China by Fenghwa Ballpoint Pen Factory in 1948.

The pen has a unique structure with two colors of refills. Its rotating mechanism has an 8-shaped copper guide, with springs and balls, can achieve 360 degrees rotation alternate refill.

This type of mechanism was not new at the time, existing products with it were known in Japan - but largely unknwon in Europe or USA.

The pen is very durable because the main parts are made of metal. So much so that production has been selling well for more than 40 years.

Fenghwa 92 has a number of varieties, the following will be introduced one by one.

==Fenghwa 92==
===Different Generations===
[[File:Different varieties of Fenghwa 92.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Different varieties of Fenghwa 92(friend offers)]]
Over the years there have been different generations of the Fenghwa 92. Due to the complexity of the version, I will only introduce a few more classic versions.
====1st Generation====
The original version of Fenghwa 92 has the most complex clip in each series(The bottom of the photo).Its pen clip is a wheat spike shaped and bears the word "Fenghwa" on it.

It existed around the late 1950s until the early 1960s.

====2nd Generation====
This version also called '92 Fenghwa'.
====3rd Generation====
This version also called 'Zhonghua 92'.
====4th Generation====

====5th Generation====

==Fenghwa 92-1, 92-A==
92-1 looks like 92 but with color indicators on the clip.
92-A looks like 92-1 but with a full metal body.

==Fenghwa 92-B, 92-E==
92-B and 92-E also differentiate themselves mainly by looks, for example a different clip design.

==Fenghwa 92-C==
This version was introduced around 1988, around the 40th anniversary of the company, and featured a two-side-twist mechanism reminiscent of USA's 'Chromatic' or Japan's 'Sharbo', whith no continuous rotation.

[[File:Structure of Fenghwa Suripise.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Structure of Fenghwa Surprise]]

The Fenghwa Surprise was first released in September 1948. It's the first ballpoint pen in China, made by Fine Articles Factory (the predecessor of Fenghwa Ballpoint Pen Factory). All parts of the pen except the tip's ball was made in China.

[[File:Fenghwa Suripise news.png|300px|thumb|right|This was an advertisement in the newspaper when Fenghwa Surprise was put on sale in 1948.]]

This pen imitates [https://www.kimberly-pockette.com/ Eversharp Kimberly] in appearance. It has no clip, a gold-colored metal section of the cap visually separating the cap's tip and the main body of the pen.

The factory rented a counter on the ground floor of Yong'an Company for sale. Because is the first ballpoint pen in China and production relatively slow, it started out with only a daily sales total of about 100 before demand increased over time.
