The Three Sisters of Chaoshan

In 1985, as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was first being established,

18-year-old Lin Xiuzhu clutched the 500 yuan she'd borrowed

and charged through Nantou Pass with her plant-dyed fabrics,

risking her life as she squeezed beneath the barbed-wire fence.

20-year-old electronics factory worker Huang Peishan fought harassment on the assembly line

and secretly taught herself new skills.

25-year-old accountant Xu Manqing had her abacus smashed by her husband

and was confined to an urban village.

The three women forged a bond of friendship strong enough to risk their lives for one another when they fought local thugs in Dongmen at night.

Starting with street stalls and private commissions,

they built a complete business chain from "craftsmanship in dyeing + a keen eye for technology + rock-solid financial acumen."

Lin Xiuzhu opened up new markets for the intangible cultural heritage of plant dyeing,

Huang Peishan developed domestic chips and broke through foreign companies' suppression,

and Xu Manqing exposed financial fraud with her sharp mind.

During the 1998 financial crisis, the three mortgaged their homes and fought back from the brink.

In 2008, they used CEPA to expand into Southeast Asia.

In 2020, they shifted production to epidemic prevention supplies, demonstrating their sense of responsibility.

Through forty years of ups and downs in business,

they went from "fighting to survive" to "shouldering the nation."

The spirit of Chaoshan's red-headed sailing ships sets sail anew in the modern era!
