Southern Guangdong: the Passionate Years of the 1990S

Southern Guangdong: Zhang Jiajun's passionate years In 1990, when the Pearl River was swollen, Zhang Jiajun, a boy from northern Guangdong, squeezed onto the southbound green train with half a bag of dry food in his pocket, and plunged into the arcade alleys of Nanbin City. The smell of engine oil from the assembly line, the cries of night market sellers, and the sound of heavy rain on typhoon nights all formed the starting point of his pursuit of dreams - from a general worker in an electronics factory to a workshop contractor, from a stall hawker to an industry leader. He rode the wave of reform and opening up and wrote a counterattack legend in the hot land of the Pearl River Delta. Technological blockade, triangular debt dilemma, Asian financial crisis, foreign trade barriers... The road to entrepreneurship is full of thorns; brothers work together, mentors lead the way, lovers stay with each other, neighbors help each other, and the warmth of human kindness illuminates the way forward. He used integrity to break up malicious competition, used hard work to break the monopoly of foreign capital, achieved a win-win situation in the wave of state-owned enterprise transformation, and protected the Lingnan fireworks in the cross-border cultural and tourism industry. The lights in the arcade, the games at the Canton Fair, the glory of the return celebration, and the ringing of the millennium bells all bear witness to the passion and perseverance of a young man from the bottom. This is not only a refreshing business war novel, but also a hymn about struggle, friendship and the times. When Zhang Jiajun stood in the headquarters building overlooking the prosperous Nanbin, those sweat-soaked days and nights and the tender moments had turned into the most touching passionate memories in southern Guangdong. See how wage earners seize the opportunities of the times, use hard work as a blade and friendship as a shield to carve out a golden road of their own in the magnificent 1990s!
