Shen Wei, a modern investment banking elite, traveled to Nancheng Hutong in 1982 after an accident and became the most inconspicuous "unemployed young woman" in that era. The original owner was timid and was overwhelmed by her patriarchal family. She could not even find a decent job and was about to be married to a "gangster" from a neighboring factory in exchange for a bride price.
But Shen Wei is not the original owner. With decades of business thinking and an accurate prediction of the tide of the times, she ripped apart the best relatives and refused to arrange marriages. She started by setting up a street stall selling improved versions of "Internet celebrity snacks", seizing the dividends of reform and opening up, and gradually getting involved in the fields of clothing, catering, and foreign trade. She broke the prejudice that "women should stay at home and take care of their children" and used her strength to prove that women can also ride the waves in the business world; she helped sisters in trouble and established a women's mutual aid group, letting the light of "new era women" illuminate the entire 1980s.
This is a story about independence, growth and counterattack - when a forward-looking vision meets a prosperous era, let's see how Shen Wei transforms from a small person in the alley to a business queen who affects a party's economy, living the way she wants.
