Li Wenmei: My Clothing Store Keeps Me No Longer Disabled.

Li Wenmei, an entrepreneur with disabilities in Manasi County, has been in the business sea for 23 years. A small shop has made great achievements in her life.

In March 20th, customers were shopping in Li Wenmei's store.

"My father buys clothes in her shop, and now I'm her customer again. She often comes to buy clothes for my husband."

Zhang Hongyan, who is shopping for a suit for his husband, said.

In Li Wenmei's words, turning a customer into a friend or even a colleague is the pivot of her success.

The first time I saw Li Wenmei was in her fashion shop. Her sweet and open-minded smile impressed me deeply.

As a child, Li Wenmei was physically disabled due to poliomyelitis.

In 1988, 23 year old Li Wenmei and Ningjun, who were physically disabled, rented a booth in the Manasi people's market and worked on an individual basis, which lasted for ten years.

"Everything else is sold except for no food."

At that time, the people's market facilities were relatively simple, ventilated in four directions, hot in summer and cold in winter, and now it is impossible to imagine how they persisted.

Li Wenmei said.

In 1998, the Manasi county government completed the reconstruction of the people's market. Under the coordination of the County Federation of disabled persons, the county government granted a shop to Li Wen Mei, which provided a good hardware foundation for her career development.

Li Wenmei said: "at that time, the store which was specially approved for me only spent more than 50 thousand yuan."

The new store made Li Wenmei end the history of the stall, and with her efforts, the business in the store was booming. When everything was going well, one thing almost completely knocked Li Wenmei down.

"In 2001, the husband had jaundice hepatitis, and hospitalization spent about 300000, and business just started to improve. This stop means that all previous efforts were in vain."

Li Wenmei said.

In this way, Li Wenmei, a poor foot, took care of his sick husband and took care of the business in the shop.

Li Wenmei said, "I went to work at 8 o'clock every afternoon, drove to Shihezi, gave my husband food and scrubbing, and then took a taxi back to Manasi at 12 p.m. for 11 months until her husband was discharged.

Seeing a doctor for her husband has not only spent all his family's savings for years, but he still owes tens of thousands of dollars.

Shop

At the beginning of 2002, when Li Wenmei was at a loss, the Manasi County Federation of disabled women guaranteed ten thousand yuan for her loan. As her working capital, the business was maintained.

It was the ten thousand yuan in the snow that saved Li Wenmei's fashion shop.

By looking around, she decided to brand herself.

Li Wenmei told the author the most difficult years: "the belief in self-reliance has supported me not to give up and spent all the loans in two years."

Li Wenmei and her husband Ning Jun began.

While doing business, Li Wenmei often helps others.

For a long time, she has been the chairman of the county limb disability Association, and was appointed as the Secretary of the November 2011 branch of the garden community.

Li Wenmei said that fate is fair, while closing a door, it opens a window for you.

While fighting against fate, she reaped the joy of success.
