Entering the Factory in the 1980S: Rural Girls Become the Mothers of National Customs

[Female Growth] [Intangible Cultural Heritage] [Warm Healing] Wang Xiaoyue lost her mother at the age of sixteen and was adopted by her grandmother Lin Lanlan. In 1985, her eldest aunt wanted to sell her to a middle-aged village doctor without legs for the "three rings and one turn" dowry. Under the cover of her grandmother, she escaped from the mountain village and entered a clothing factory. With her tenacious and diligent character and high artistic talent, she went from sewing and turning to starting a business, and established her own cheongsam brand "Chunyue". In the wave of reform and opening up, with the help of Hong Kong businessman Li Siu-on, her "Chun Yue" brand eventually blossomed all over the world and reached the top of the fashion industry.
