THE DUMPLING QUEEN

In the 1970s, Zang Jianhe, a woman from Qingdao, was forced to leave her hometown with her two daughters. To make ends meet and raise her children, she washed dishes by day and cleaned cars by night. Determined to break free from her fate, Zang Jianhe decided to make a living by selling dumplings. From struggling to attract customers to eventually thriving, she received much support from tough-but-kind Hong Jie, Brother Hua and Uncle Dessert. Through perseverance, she grew her dumpling business into a success.
