Lin Jianguo was born in 1974 in the mountains of southern Zhejiang. In 1992, at the age of 18, he went south to Shenzhen with 80 yuan borrowed from his mother, and started working as a small worker on a construction site. In the 1990s, he made his first fortune by reselling electronic watches and BP machines in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen. After the turn of the millennium, he returned to his hometown to set up a clothing factory to catch up with the export dividends from China's entry into the WTO. Around 2010, with the rise of e-commerce, he resolutely transitioned to online and founded his own brand "Guofeng Clothing". In 2020, his company has become a clothing group integrating design, production and sales, and his personal net worth exceeds 100 million. Through his eyes, the story looks at the tremendous changes in China over the past thirty years, and also looks at how an ordinary person seizes the corner of fate time and time again in the wave of the times.
