Synopsis
During the summer vacation after returning from studying abroad in London, what she was waiting for was not a hug from her father, but the news that he had jumped from the rooftop of the factory. Twenty-five million in debt. The debt collector broke down the door. There were people watching her every move in the dark. Epidemics, fires, betrayals - Guan Guan is sad. A strange lawyer handed over an agreement, and the service content contained only two words: companionship. Who is helping her? Why help? What is hidden behind that agreement? This is not a happy-go-lucky revenge story. There is no golden finger, no magic weapon. There is only one girl who was torn into pieces by life, and then she gritted her teeth and put herself back together piece by piece. In the end, she became her own supporter. Concept: "The Wind Rises in Qiantang" uses the image of the Qiantang tide to describe the awakening and rise of contemporary women. The story is based on the real figures of countless business women born in the 1980s and 1990s. They were once a generation with high hopes from their families and the times. However, amid the tide of the times, economic ups and downs and sudden changes in life, they suddenly shouldered the weight of family, debt and destiny. From being a protected daughter to a cared for daughter, they gradually became the backers of themselves and others. The work is based on the social context of "her era" in the 21st century, focusing on the explosion of women's power under the Internet and the new economic landscape: more and more women are breaking free from the constraints of traditional identities, entering the market with tenacity, sobriety and style, and creating value with professionalism and responsibility. Their contributions to family, industry and society deserve to be seen, written and redefined. The novel aims to advocate the thinking of women in the new era: a true heroine is not attached, does not seek strength, is not deliberately weak, is not a Virgin-like self-sacrifice, and is not a scheming "green tea" attitude. They have desires, weaknesses, and struggles, as well as bottom lines, perseverance, and fierceness. They are flesh-and-blood, independent and complete individuals. "Women hold up half the sky" is no longer a slogan in "The Wind Rises in Qiantang", but a real life of saving oneself in desperate situations, being self-reliant in wind and rain, and strengthening oneself in ups and downs. They do not rely on salvation from heaven, do not believe in fate, and only rely on themselves to support the world. Ultimately, they prove that the value of women does not need to be defined by anyone, and the best destination is always oneself.
