Her name is Chen Zhaodi. “Zhaodi” means she was born to live for her younger brother.
At eighteen, her parents trade her in an arranged marriage to secure a wife for her older brother. On her wedding night, she escapes through the snow.
Starting with a single garment at a street stall, a runaway country girl joins forces with several other women crushed by fate. Amid the tide of the late 1980s, they stitch together an empire, one stitch at a time.
Years later, she goes by Chen Mai and is worth over a hundred million, yet she never returns home in triumph to shame anyone. Instead, she builds a school and saves the younger sister who was traded in her place.
Because she finally understands: what she wanted was never money. It was to be able to say, “I am a person, not a thing.”
No one plants wild wheat, but wherever the wind carries it, it can take root.
Want to continue watching. . .
It's very delicately written.
The story is nice, I really like the voice of the mature uncle
