In 1992, Shen Guifen, a female worker at Jiangbei Textile Factory, was replaced and lost the iron job she thought she would have for a lifetime.
Faced with the difficulties of unemployment, family life, and a young daughter, this laid-off female worker with no funds and no connections started selling children's clothing at a street stall, and squeezed through the shops in the wholesale market. Relying on her keen vision and tireless hard work, she gradually established her own small workshop, and then rose against the wind in the wave of state-owned enterprise restructuring, and gradually moved towards success.
The story uses Shen Guifen's personal struggle history to reflect China's economic changes - from the disintegration of the planned economy and the emergence of a market economy, to the take-off of the manufacturing industry after joining the WTO, to the brand transformation in the e-commerce era. This is not only an inspirational legend about a laid-off female worker who counterattacked the business world, but also a civilian epic that records how ordinary people can rewrite their destiny with their hands.
Intention: Fate may break your iron rice bowl, but it will break your confidence to live a good life.
