The legendary woman who was reborn from the ashes

Jiang Juan, an ordinary woman born in the 50s, has experienced all the experiences of this generation.

She is of medium build and a little plump; she likes to wear decent and simple clothes; her big, bright eyes behind her glasses exude wisdom from time to time; her short hair makes her look more delicate; her natural smile reveals her confidence and gentleness.

She is cheerful, positive, serious, persistent, confident, courageous and proactive.

In 2000, "laid off" was a very sensitive and frustrating word. When the family needed money the most, Jiang Juan and her husband were both laid off.

Her husband was particularly anxious, and a grown man sighed all day long.

Being laid off completely disrupted her life rhythm. What worried her most was how to support her children in school and the family.

In particular, one sentence from her son deeply hurt her. Her son, who was already in high school, suddenly told Jiang Juan that his English grades were not ideal and that it might affect his college entrance examination performance. He wanted to take extra lessons, but when he inquired about the cost, he found out that it would cost several thousand yuan. His son had no choice but to discuss it with Jiang Juan.

Because of her own difficult life experience without any education, Jiang Juan vowed to make sure her son took good care of himself and got into college so that he could find a decent job in the future.

To be honest, I am really anxious and confused. Where can I get the money for my son's tutoring?

How can she not be anxious when her life is so messy and she is useless?

A heart full of desires, empty hands, heavy with worries, and the word "responsibility" weighing heavily on my heart.

She could not give her parents dignity, nor could she give her children the life they wanted. There was a huge gap between her ideal and life. She worked non-stop, but was powerless.

When a person has no way to go, perhaps countless roads will appear in front of him. Life is nothing more than a matter of responding to each move.

After much thought, she decided that she must find a job for herself no matter what. She went out to survey the market during the day and went home to think about planning at night.

However, what she saw and thought about, what else was suitable for her to do at her age? She sorted out this information in her mind over and over again. . . . . .

She searched many intermediary companies. The first step to finding a job is to submit your resume. For a middle-aged woman with neither academic qualifications nor age advantage, it is really difficult to find a job after being laid off.

Everyone will, at some stage or because of some reason, make a secret resolution deep in their heart: they must work hard to make money!

Some people make money to prove something to their friends, some make money for the life they want, or to give their family a better life....

With no other options, relying on her own persistence and self-confidence, she put the only few thousand yuan in the family into her pocket as capital, and started a small street stall business with her husband to supplement the family income.

For the first time in her life, she took a train to the Yiwu Small Commodities Market in Zhejiang to purchase goods. She was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods. Her excited thoughts suddenly leaped into the future, as if she had seen happiness in these small commodities.

I hurriedly picked up a few items and immediately returned home, took the train home, and felt secretly pleased with myself all the way, secretly calculating how much I could earn back from selling these items. My children's tuition would be settled, and I hadn't been to the market to buy fresh fish and meat for a long time, so I could finally pick some to satisfy my appetite.

Thinking of this, it’s worth it to work hard for my family!

In order to make money as quickly as possible, she often set up a stall to do business during the day and took the train at night, completely ignoring the hardships and physical and mental exhaustion of the journey.

There were several times when Jiang Juan faced expulsion from the urban management. She not only had to hide from place to place, but also had to protect her goods from damage.

Once during a conflict with urban management, her goods were confiscated.

As more and more people gathered around the stall, Jiang Juan desperately protected her goods regardless of what the urban management said, and kept begging in a crying voice: "Don't take my things! Don't take my things!"

Maybe the urban management officer didn't expect Jiang Juan to do this for her goods, so he said: We've seen you several times, and told you several times that you can't set up stalls here, but you still set up stalls under our noses. Urban management is our job, and I also have to rely on this to support myself. It's not easy for you, and it's not easy for me either.

Indeed, what the urban management said is right. Life is not easy for everyone.

Everyone watching could see that this was not the first time the urban management staff had said something bad about her.

The urban management officer was helpless and said to Jiang Juan: Don’t try to play tricks on me. I’m just doing my job. I took your things so that you can go to the urban management office to deal with them. Do you understand?

Jiang Juan reluctantly followed the urban management staff into their office. As expected, the goods were confiscated!

Although Jiang Juan kept repeating the words, "Don't take my things," there was not a single tear in her eyes.

Because such things have happened so many times that a woman's originally fragile heart has become hardened.

Every time Jiang Juan went out to set up a stall, she was always nervous and looked around carefully, trying to sell her

Goods, but also to prevent obstruction by urban management.

Once when she was setting up a stall, the urban management staff suddenly appeared in front of her. In order to protect her goods, she picked up a large bag that she had prepared, quickly put the goods in it, and hurriedly fled.

In a panic, she accidentally slipped and fell. She sat on the ground in so much pain that she was unable to get up. Her right foot was red and swollen. The urban management staff saw this and let her go.

The doctor diagnosed that his right ankle had a comminuted fracture. He rested at home for a few months after the operation. Although the injury on his foot had healed, he still walked with a limp with the support of a crutch. From then on, he could no longer travel around the country to purchase goods and set up a stall.

Unconsciously, she has traveled back and forth between Shanghai and Yiwu hundreds of times in the past few years of setting up stalls. It is the desire to support her family that keeps her going!

Fortunately, after several years of anxious life as a street vendor, I finally earned my first pot of gold.

When you are at your lowest point, remember these three sentences:

Even when you are at your lowest point in life,

Keep a positive attitude too!

If bitterness does not enter your heart, and your heart is not bitter, life will be sweet!

As long as these sufferings are nothing in your heart and you don’t take these pains to heart, then life will be happy, and these pains and setbacks will not hurt you at all.

Believe in your inner strength, and don't let the suffering you experience at the lowest point in your life permeate your heart, then you won't have any worries!

Everyone sees the world differently. The same thing may appear different to different people.

This will directly affect the outcome of the matter.

Everyone has times when they hit lows, but once you climb out of the trough, you’ll find that you actually gained a lot from it.

Standing on a high place, you will find that such a low point is nothing.

On the contrary, the experiences you have learned, the skills you have honed, and the growth you have gained are the most valuable assets in your life.

Although the world is unfair to her, she still has to try hard. After encountering wind, frost, rain and snow, she still has the courage to move forward, explore the unknown future and face the causes of failure.

There are many things in this world that are unfamiliar to her, and there are countless doors in her life that keep her out. She tries to open each door carefully, imagining that behind each door, there is a winding road that will lead her into a more open world.

The stock market was one of the doors she entered. When she curiously opened the door and walked in, she found that there was no end in sight in the confusion.
