In 1984, the Zhang family lived on the Loess Plateau in northern Weibei and had seven daughters. Because the family had no sons, they were often looked down upon, but every one of the seven girls proved her worth. The eldest daughter stayed home and married into the family to keep the household going. The second daughter went to the city to work and help support the family. The third raised chickens and ran a street stall, working hard to build a better life. The fourth studied diligently and earned a place at a teachers' college, while the fifth learned tailoring and became self-reliant. With the whole family united in purpose and working together, their lives grew better and more prosperous, earning the admiration of those around them. This is a heartwarming story about family bonds, hard work, and growing up.
