In the ten years before and after the turn of the century, from 1990 to 2010, the non-public economy bloomed like a sleeping lotus in small towns, one petal after another. Some unemployed women walked out of their homes. The market gave them opportunities. They not only had to survive in the competition, but also completed their own missions, getting married and having children. The competition left them with no chance to breathe, the incomprehension of their family members, and the crowding out from their peers created a sad and heartbreaking story. The streets have grown from old bungalows in the 1970s to high-rise buildings. The streets are lined with gardens, squares, and green areas. Even the people walking in them feel taller. Through the eyes of people who set up stalls and open shops, the author sees the pain of each demolition of the market and the beauty after demolition and reconstruction. How many self-employed families are there in our country and what kind of life they experience? Few media and writers devote their pen to them. This is a corner that has been forgotten by the media and the public. "The Woman Who Entered the Market and River" is a secret history of the development of the non-public economy. Shop owners and vendors heard that I was writing a novel about self-employed people, so they often came to tell me their stories, and they were also willing to tell me about conflicts that arise in marriages and families. In the beginning, development, and collision of the non-public economy, from intrigues to peace of mind, from life-and-death competition to mutual help, the tempering of life, kindness, tolerance, and compassion, the original intention of kindness, tolerance, and compassion mirrored the streets and rivers, and reflected the prosperity of the non-public economy in the turn of the century.
