share time: 2025-10-17 00:30:42

In the late 1980s, Lin Xiaomei, a textile factory worker, was forced to divorce by her mother-in-law for giving birth to a daughter, and her cowardly husband chose to compromise. She returned to her parents' home with her three-year-old daughter, only to be mocked by her brother and sister-in-law as a "husband-keeper and burden". When desperate, she spotted an opportunity in selling foreign trade surplus sweaters—she could knit patterns, her mother could use a sewing machine, and her brother could deliver goods by tricycle. From being chased by urban management while street vending to making "Xiaomei Knitting" a neighborhood brand, she built her business with sheer determination. When her ex-husband tried to reconcile after seeing her success, she smiled and handed him the divorce certificate: "I'm no longer the Lin Xiaomei who let others bully me."
