Striving Through the 1980s

In 1985, in the area outside Peng City, Heming was selling soybeans grown by his family at a street stall. But his heart wasn't in it. He was still thinking about what his wife had said when she left the day before: "I'm going back. My parents came here to work in the countryside, and our families arranged for us to marry when we were still in the womb. But I want to go out and see the world. I don't want to spend my whole life bent over the fields with you."
