In the summer of 1978, 18-year-old talented Lin Xiujin encountered a family tragedy when her mother was seriously ill on the eve of the college entrance examination. In order to raise money for the operation, she was forced to give up her dream of going to college and resolutely picked up the embroidery needle to shoulder the burden of the family. She started out as a "speculator" selling embroidered handkerchiefs. With her extraordinary skills and courage, she seized the opportunity of reform and opening up and became the first self-employed person in Qi Town. With the selfless support of her lover Zhou Jianguo and the guidance of designer Su Manting, her embroidery workshop went from the small courtyard to the world. Faced with repeated malicious suppression by her rival Zhao Yongqiang, she repeatedly broke through difficulties and turned crises into opportunities. In the end, she not only founded her own brand, but also established a training center, led her hometown sisters to get rich together, brought Jiangnan embroidery to a broader stage, and wrote a success story that belongs to ordinary people.
