In the early 1990s, Tian Xiaoju, a young woman from the countryside, later changed her name to Juanzi. Because her family was poor, she dropped out of school and returned home to farm. During a dispute, she injured the village accountant and was sent to a labor camp for two years. After her release, she married Da Zhou, an employee at the town's supply and marketing cooperative. A few years later, she discovered she could not have children and had no choice but to divorce him. She first worked as a waitress in a restaurant, then as a hostess in a bar. Starting out as a country girl who knew nothing about the entertainment business, she weathered its many ups and downs and became a well-known figure on Chang Street. A few years later, she left the bar and went into leather jacket sales and wholesale trade in local produce. In the end, she chose to return to her hometown and grow pesticide-free vegetables, using her own hard work to transform its backward conditions.
