Li Zhaodi grew up in the countryside, with no toys, no doting family, no plentiful food, and no grand, winding mountain scenery. There was clear well water, but the pressures of life came wave after wave, weighing not only on her finances but also on her spirit. Even after getting married, things were a complete mess at first. Once she became a mother, she learned to be strong, juggling work and school while dealing with both her husband's family and her own.
