It's Not Easy for Women

On the eve of the reform of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s, pregnant Wu Manqing and her husband Hu Weiguo had a huge quarrel over the issue of house allocation in their work unit, resulting in their daughter being hospitalized for premature birth. Because her mother-in-law was dissatisfied that Man Qing gave birth to a girl, she made sarcastic remarks and made things difficult for her. Man Qing was so angry that she returned to her parents' home. Life after returning to her parents' home was not easy: her biological mother only asked for money, her eldest brother who was having a lot of troubles with his sister-in-law, and a little sister who was so doted on that she didn't know what to do with. The family was noisy, which made Manqing, who was raising her child, still worried. By chance, Manqing saw an interview with the successful entrepreneur Gu Hongkai on TV and was deeply moved. Against the opposition of her whole family, she resolutely smashed her iron job, left the state-owned unit, and chose to start her own business. With the advent of the wave of state-owned enterprise reform, Hu Weiguo became the first batch of laid-off workers and drank heavily all day long. After a domestic violence incident, Manqing firmly filed for divorce and took her daughter away from home. While struggling to make a living in Hangzhou, Man Qing met Gu Hongkai by chance. At this time, Gu Hongkai had become the number one car manufacturer in China and vowed to build a car that truly belonged to the Chinese. Man Qing was moved by his ideas and voluntarily joined Gu Hongkai's team. Through the ups and downs, the two witnessed the rise of domestic cars together.
