In China in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, with the gradual rise of the wave of reform and opening up, a group of entrepreneurs who dared to innovate and challenge tradition began to emerge across the country. Especially in the economically backward rural areas, this change is even more precious. In this period, the stories of female entrepreneurs are particularly rare and precious, and the story of Ding Shumiao happened in this context. She represents women's self-improvement, and also embodies the spirit of Jinshang in the spirit of "emphasizing righteousness over profit" and the bold attempt to start a business.
Ding Shumiao was born in a poor village on the Loess Plateau and grew up in a difficult environment since he was a child. Living with her back to the loess made her understand since she was a child that if she wanted to change her fate, she could only rely on her own hands. Her family situation forced her to take on the burden of life early. Her mother died early, and her father and brother were her only support, but the early death of her father made the family even worse.
"Brother, we can't stay poor like this. Ding Shumiao's voice was full of determination.
After marrying her husband Hou Wanhu, Ding Shumiao did not choose to be content with the status quo. Although Hou Wanhu's work is stable, there is always an unwillingness in her heart. Every small opportunity in the market can be the key to changing her life, and her keen eye and determination to dare to act finally led her to see that eggs in the village can be a business.
"Wanhu, look at these eggs, what if I can sell them to the county seat?" Ding Shumiao excitedly showed off his plan.
Although Hou Wanhu was worried, she was also infected by his wife's determination, "If you decide, I will support you." ”
Every morning, Ding Shumiao began to collect eggs from house to house, and then went to the county seat alone, despite the muddy roads. The road was long and full of difficulties, but she never thought of giving up.
"This eldest sister, the eggs for you are fresh and cheap!" In the market, Ding Shumiao's voice was full of confidence.
Through her tireless efforts, she not only sold her eggs, but also discovered other business opportunities, such as collecting medicinal scorpions. Despite the danger, the high profits made her invest in it without hesitation.
As time went by, Ding Shumiao's career became bigger and bigger. Her story became a good story in the village, and it also attracted a lot of criticism.
"A woman should be at home with peace of mind. The people in the village were talking.
Dante Shumiao never slowed down. Her career eventually expanded beyond eggs and scorpions, to a wider range of business activities. She set up her own company and began to get involved in building materials, real estate and other fields, eventually transforming the image of a small village woman into a business magnate.
As the years passed, Ding Shumiao's business empire has been solidified, and she has grown from a simple peasant woman to a widely respected entrepreneur. The title of "First Sister of High-speed Railway" not only represents her important contribution to the construction of high-speed railway, but also symbolizes her spirit of daring to break through and keep moving forward.
On a sunny afternoon, Ding Shumiao stood in front of his office window, looking out at the city skyline in the distance. "I never thought I'd be standing here one day. She muttered to herself, her eyes glinting with reverie for the future.
The story of Ding Shumiao is a legend of personal struggle, and it is also the epitome of the changes of the times. She proved with her actions that in that turbulent era, even the most unfavored characters were capable of taking control of their own destiny and writing amazing chapters. Her story reminds us that no matter what the circumstances, with determination and courage, we can carve out a world of our own. In her life, every choice is full of deep meaning, every step is firm and powerful, just as the spirit of Jin Shang advocated, she emphasizes righteousness over profit, and cultivates virtue with business, setting an example for the world.
