Since the mid to late 1980s, private financial activities in coastal areas have never stopped. On the one hand, the government strictly prohibits such behavior, but on the other hand, it is powerless to increase financial services for private enterprises. The Wenzhou lifting ceremony and the Zheng Lefen incident are tragedies that occurred in this historical context. Despite receiving sympathy from the public and the legal community, Zheng Lefen's life was forcibly terminated. On September 18, 1991, the Supreme People's Court approved the criminal ruling of the Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court, upholding the death sentence for Zheng on charges of speculation and profiteering, and immediately carrying it out.

The author of "A Brief History of Britain," Woodward, once wrote, "History only deals with a very small part of a nation's life. The majority of the people's lives and hardships in entrepreneurship are not recorded in writing, past or future." He also quoted a famous line from "The Wisdom of Ben Sira," saying, "Some people are forgotten, they die, and no one knows, as if they had never lived in this world in the future

Zheng Lefen is such a person. She is the most insignificant figure in the history of Chinese enterprises. She was a death row criminal who died at the age of 38 and did not leave a single photo.
