In 1990 Shenzhen, Lin Xiaoman, a rural girl carrying a snakeskin bag, came south to find a job and knocked over Chen Mo's tape stall—this boy, who hid his Fudan withdrawal certificate and sold Teresa Teng's cassettes to earn tuition, had just been chased by urban management for "illegal audio-visual products". From "compensation foes" to stall partners, they saved up to open an audio-visual store, but a misunderstanding arose: Chen Mo sold his family's heirloom plum blossom watch to pay rent, and Xiaoman mistakenly thought he "hooked up with a rich boss's daughter". By the time Xiaoman found the watch invoice under the shelf, Chen Mo had gone to Dongguan with a supplier to negotiate a VCD agency deal. When the first bell of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange rang in 1991, Xiaoman stood at the store door with a lightbox printed with "Golden Audio-Visual" and saw Chen Mo in a suit running towards her against the crowd, carrying a box of VCDs—turns out the so-called golden era was never a single year, but every day we fought together.
