In the autumn of that year, a young man named Liang Boqiang sneaked back from Hong Kong to his hometown - Xiaolan Town in Zhongshan County, Guangdong Province. Two years ago, on a late night, at the age of 18, he and three good friends jumped into the icy sea from the August 1st embankment of Zhongshan Xiaolin Farm and risked their lives to illegally cross the river to Macau. In the past two years, he has been working everywhere in Hong Kong and Macau, first carrying large bags of jeans at the dock, and then depicting mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, and ancient ladies in a furniture factory. He lives in a workshop full of illegal immigrants, prostitutes, and drug dealers, constantly on edge. According to people from his hometown, there are now more business opportunities in China, so he tied the hard-earned 30000 Hong Kong dollars around his waist and quietly returned to Xiaolan Town. No state-owned unit is willing to accept him. The factory where he used to work once agreed to accept him, but the condition was that he had to repent and reform himself in front of the entire factory staff, hang a sign of "treason and defection", and read his own self-criticism. Liang Boqiang was a little disappointed, so he had to choose to become a vegetable vendor in the market. At that time, the song "On the Field of Hope" written by Xiaoguang and composed by Shi Guangnan was very popular. "In our hometown, on the field of hope, smoke from cooking floats on newly built houses, and small rivers flow beside beautiful villages. A patch of winter wheat, a patch of sorghum, ten miles of lotus pond, and ten miles of fruit fragrance." Liang Boqiang hummed this cheerful song every day, anxiously waiting for his opportunity. Soon, he will use the 30000 yuan he saved up from carrying large bags and painting furniture to start his own factory - something that was impossible three years ago. 20 years later, he will become China's "nail clipper king", with products accounting for 60% of the country's market share.
