In 1985, Zhou Jianchuan, who was at a low point in his life, firmly refused to send away his young daughter Xiaoman. Taking the sewing machine left by his wife and meager savings, he moved out of his extended family, starting from scratch relying on his superb sewing machine repair skills. He adhered to honesty and duty, maintaining fair prices, weathering interference from relatives and scheming from peers. Starting from a roadside stall, he gradually secured factory orders, opened his own repair shop, and trained down-to-earth apprentices. Not only did he give Xiaoman a stable and warm home, fully supporting her in studying and reading literacy, but he also grew from a down-and-out single father into a well-reputed craftsman in town, with the father and daughter stepping out an inspirational life path of steady upward progress with their own hands.
