從街頭小販到“水餃女皇”,單親母親臧健和用20年把水餃攤變成了跨國品牌。馬麗也用20年的時間撕碎喜劇標簽,出演了自己的首個大女主電影。當大銀幕上的女性越來越多地把戰場從情場轉向職場,我們也能真正看見那些閃閃發光的時代人物??赐炅穗娪?,我也找了一篇英文影評,一起看看它是怎么評價這包在餃子皮里的傳奇人生的。
The Chinese film Dumpling Queen is a sweeping, inspirational biopic based on the real-life story of Zang Jianhe, founder of the Wanchai Ferry dumpling brand and known locally as the "Dumpling Queen." The story follows how Zang went from being a struggling single mom on the streets of Hong Kong to building a modest dumpling stand into a major food company.
Born in 1945, Zang grew up in a rural family in Rizhao, Shandong province, eastern China. After dropping out of school, she worked as a nursing attendant at a hospital and later married a doctor from Thailand, with whom she had two daughters.
However, in 1977, after resigning from her hospital job and relocating to Thailand with her two daughters, Zang discovered that her husband had begun a new family. He had apparently left her due to her inability to give birth to a son.
This prompted Zang to move to Hong Kong, where she raised her daughters alone.
To make a living, she decided to set up a small dumpling stall at the Wan Chai Pier, a vital transportation hub for commuters between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island at the time, with her daughters helping her sell.
中國電影《水餃皇后》是一部橫跨人生、鼓舞人心的傳記片,改編自灣仔碼頭水餃品牌創始人臧健和的真實故事,她被當地人稱為“水餃皇后”。影片講述了這位努力謀生的單親媽媽在香港街頭支起樸素的水餃攤,并一路逆襲成為大型食品企業掌舵人的傳奇歷程。
1945年,臧健和出生于山東日照的農村。她輟學后曾在醫院擔任護工,后與一位泰國籍醫生結婚并育有兩女。
1977年辭去工作攜女赴泰后,她卻震驚地發現丈夫已另組家庭,丈夫顯然是因為她無法生下兒子而離開了她。
這一變故促使臧健和輾轉來到香港,獨自撫養兩個女兒。
為了謀生,她決定在當時九龍與香港島之間的重要交通樞紐灣仔碼頭擺攤賣水餃,兩個女兒也幫著母親一起叫賣。
