At 20, Yang Shuting’s life took an unexpected turn when a traffic accident left her paralyzed. But instead of letting adversity define her, she turned her pain into purpose. 💪
Starting with a tiny artificial flower workshop in 2015, Yang and her family sold their first bouquet for just 7.7 yuan (about $1). The number seven (qī in Mandarin) became her lucky charm, inspiring the name Qiqi Tech. Fast-forward to 2017: her floral creations were blooming overseas, racking up 42 million yuan in exports! 🌍💸
When the pandemic hit, Yang pivoted to domestic sales like a pro. She set up 30+ rural assembly hubs across Hunan, creating jobs for over 400 locals—most of them women—who now earn stable incomes. Talk about girl power! 👩🌾✨
Yang’s story isn’t just about flowers; it’s a masterclass in resilience. From hospital beds to business plans, she’s proof that even the toughest roots can grow something beautiful. 🌱🌟
