In 1988, at Pujiang Lane, returned educated youth Lin Weimin set up a stall with 20 yuan and a box of old books—only to be chased by the security team for the third time. Su Xiaotang, the tailor’s daughter next door, sneaked him two hot buns but was scolded by her mom: “Why pick a useless poor guy?” Zhou Shixiong, his old rival from the countryside, became a department store manager and mocked him: “You’ll never get ahead.” But Lin refused to give in: he traded old books for jeans, let vendors sell on credit to win their trust, and even expanded to the neighboring city’s supply cooperative… When he drove a Jiefang truck back with his first shipment, Su stood at the lane entrance holding a sign saying “Go Lin Boss!” while Zhou’s store panicked over stock shortages—for small-time dreamers, the era of turbulence and triumph had just begun.
