Blowing Against the Wind

From a prisoner jailed after killing her husband by accident while resisting domestic abuse, to a toilet cleaner famous across the province; from a migrant worker in Guangdong during the early years of reform and opening up, to chairwoman of China’s leading beverage brand.
