Reborn in the 80s: I Lead My Aunt to a Glorious Life

share time: 2025-11-27 06:01:01

In a 1985 Shanghai alley, Lin Xiaoman stared at Shen Xiufen, who was squatting in front of her tailor shop mending pants—this woman, who was exploited by her in-laws, lost her son to illness, and ended up collecting scraps in her previous life, was still smiling apologetically for a 50-cent手工 fee. Reborn, Lin Xiaoman clutched the food stamps in her pocket, determined to shove future business opportunities into her aunt’s hands: first, help her keep the shop her brother-in-law was trying to steal, then teach her to make Hong Kong-style jeans and batwing shirts printed with Teresa Teng’s portrait, even drag her to set up a stall at Chenghuang Temple to earn “side money.” But when Director Zhou from the state-owned garment factory came to stir trouble, and when her aunt held the saved hundred-yuan bill and cried, “I never dared to dream of such a life,” Lin Xiaoman realized: what she wanted to save wasn’t just her aunt’s life, but also the version of herself who was crushed by the times, too scared to even say “I want.” This time, they’ll turn the tiny “Xiufen Tailor Shop” into the most famous brand on Shanghai’s first “fashion street”—and all the regrets from the past life will become the courage to live this one.
