When she was nineteen years old, Sun Yulan was forced by her family to get married.
On the eve of her wedding, she did something that no one in the village expected - she ran away with her fifteen-year-old sister.
The two sisters came to the provincial capital with forty-three yuan and two cents in their pockets. They had no job, no place to live, and no idea where their next meal would be.
From washing dishes in restaurants, to learning tailoring, buying sewing machines, and making clothes to make money; from forty-three yuan and twenty cents to the first one hundred yuan, five hundred yuan, one thousand yuan in life...
Sun Yulan just wanted to see how two rural girls with no one to support them could live their lives.
