"A Hunan Girl Is Like Jade: Raising a Baby to Become the Richest Man in Troubled Times" tells the epic story of a woman in troubled times. Lin Wanyu, the concubine daughter of a wealthy businessman in Xiangtan, fell into trouble at home and was separated from her mother and brother during the war. She went through three rough marriages and suffered a lot of human suffering. When she finally found temporary peace with her third miner husband, her husband died in a mining accident, leaving her with eight children of various ages and different biological fathers.
Above the mourning hall, the weak widow held a pair of scissors and threatened her with death, frightening away the bullies and tribesmen who were forcing her to marry and seize her property, showing her tenacity like cattails. She did not fall down in the face of eight "sluts" who were living in poverty and waiting for food. The eldest son who had been separated for many years returned at the right time and became his assistant; the loyal servant Zhao Tieshan kept his promise and guarded him silently. Lin Wanyu discovered the amazing embroidery talent of a mute girl, earned her first pot of gold, and founded "Ruyu Embroidery Workshop". Later, with courage and wisdom, she cooperated with overseas businessman Gu Qingming to develop the hidden mineral veins left by her husband and founded "Lin Family Mining".
In the turbulent business war, she formed an alliance with Sister Hong, the spicy restaurant owner, to outsmart the bullies and eliminate the evil spirits. The shadow of the past (the first husband) struck again and tried to disrupt her life, but was completely liquidated with the concerted efforts of the whole family. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, she resolutely donated her salary, closely linking her career with the fate of the country.
This is a story about survival in desperate situations, the brilliance of motherhood and self-awakening. See how Lin Wanyu transformed from a weak woman who was bullied by others to "Mr. Lin" who supported a family and influenced the world, and wrote a soul-stirring hymn to women in troubled times.
Purpose: This book mainly expresses the core idea of "women rely on wisdom, tenacity and love in adversity to achieve self-worth and family counterattack". It profoundly depicts the greatness and selflessness of maternal love, shows the resonance between small people in troubled times and the destiny of the country and the country, and conveys the positive values of "independence, self-reliance, and never giving up."
