About This Novel
She has been labeled by fate. In the cold winter of 1996, Jiang Ye, a girl from Shandong, was forced to jump on a train heading south in order to survive. Behind him is a seriously ill mother, huge debts, and a life crushed by rumors; in front of him is Guangzhou, a boiling city that can swallow and reshape people. "Should the factory girl accept her fate?" When she first arrived, she slept in a 16-person bunkhouse, and her fingers were pricked with scars from sewing machines. But what she saw was not the assembly line, but the huge business opportunities behind the fabrics, stitching and patterns. "Do women rely on men to do business?" She fought bloody battles with gangsters in the street to grab a stall at the night market; she stayed in heavy rain all night to recover a payment. With her precise vision and desperate determination, she just tore a hole in the clothing industry. Jiang Ye was knocked down by the waves of the times time and time again, but he always struggled to survive from the cracks in the rocks like weeds. This is not a fairy tale about "success", but a cruel epic about a woman "breaking out of her cocoon and becoming a king" in the cracks of the times. In the end, looking back at the trend of the times, those labels that were once attached to Jiang Ye have long since disappeared. And she has spent more than 20 years proving one thing: women can compete in the market just like men, and they can also be more ruthless, tougher, and more radiant than men.
