Li Wei's journey begins at 15 when he leaves his village after junior high, seeking work to support his struggling family. Starting as a waiter in a small-town restaurant, he faces hardship, discrimination, and long hours. Through grit, self-education, and seizing opportunities, he climbs the ladder-first in the restaurant industry, then into entrepreneurship, and finally into the corporate world, founding a tech company that goes public. Along the way, he navigates love, betrayal, and the complexities of modern China's economic boom.
