The daughter rose in the East
東方女性的崛起
How China forged dozens of self-made female billionaires
中國如何造就數(shù)十位白手起家的女性億萬富翁
Dong mingzhu is the most visible face of female enterprise in China.
董明珠是中國最引人注目的女企業(yè)家。
The 64- year-old boss of Gree, the world's biggest maker of air-conditioners, is everywhere:
這位64歲的女性是全球最大空調(diào)制造商格力的老板，她的形象隨處可見：
in television ads, on billboards and, last year, in two places at once—
在電視上、廣告牌上，去年，她甚至同時出現(xiàn)在了兩個地方—
jaywalking in the city of Ningbo while at Gree's headquarters in Zhuhai (police cameras mistakenly captured her visage plastered on a bus).
在寧波市，她被拍到闖紅燈，同時她還出現(xiàn)在了格力珠海總部（警方監(jiān)控誤拍到貼在公交車上的她的照片）。
Ms Dong joined Gree as a door-to-door saleswoman in 1990, as a widow with an eight-year-old son.
丈夫去世后，董明珠獨自帶著8歲的兒子，1990年，她加入格力成為了一名上門推銷員。
In 2012 she became its chairwoman. Although Gree has state roots, Ms Dong acts like a high-profile entrepreneur.
2012年，她成為格力董事長。雖然格力是國有控股，但董明珠行事卻像一名高調(diào)的企業(yè)家。
Her life was the subject of a TV drama, and she has written two popular memoirs.
她的經(jīng)歷成為了一部電視劇的主題，而且她寫了兩部很受歡迎的回憶錄。
Her steely, unglamorous image (a confessed penchant for skirts notwithstanding) inspires young women.
她樸實強硬的形象（盡管如此，她承認自己對裙子情有獨鐘）激勵著年輕的女性。
Matters of gender bore her. Asked about her rise in a country run by men, she responds: "Men or women, few are up to the challenge."
性別問題讓她感到厭煩。當(dāng)被問及她在這個被男性統(tǒng)治的國家的崛起時，她回答：“無論男女，很少有人能勝任這項挑戰(zhàn)。”
That may be so. But Ms Dong represents a generation of Chinese women who have climbed higher than their sisters in South Korea or Japan.
或許是如此，但董明珠代表了一代中國女性，她們比韓國或日本女性取得了更大的成功。
Fully 51 of the 89 self-made female billionaires on this year's Hurun Rich List, a Who's Who of the ultra-wealthy, are Chinese—
今年胡潤富豪榜有89位女億萬富翁，其中51位是中國人—
well above China's 20% share of the world's women. Relative to population (one for every 13.4m Chinese females),
遠高于中國女性在世界20%的占比。相較人口而言（每1340萬中國女性中有一位），
that is not far off America's tally of 18 (one for every 9.1m). South Korea has one, Yoo Jung-hyun of Nexon, a gaming giant.
這個與美國的18位相差不遠（每910萬女性就有一位）。韓國上榜的只有一位—游戲巨頭Nexon的金正宙。
Japan has none (Forbes reckons that Yoshiko Shinohara, who founded a temporary-staffing agency, became the first in 2017, aged 82).
日本沒有（根據(jù)《福布斯》，人才派遣公司創(chuàng)始人82歲的筱原欣子在2017年成為日本首位白手起家的女性億萬富豪）。
China's include Wu Yajun, a property mogul with a $10bn fortune;
中國上榜的有地產(chǎn)大亨吳亞軍，資產(chǎn)價值100億美元；
Cheng Xue of Foshan Haitian Flavouring & Food Company, known as "the soy-sauce queen";
佛山市海天調(diào)味食品股份有限公司的“醬油皇后”程雪；
and Li Haiyan and Shu Ping, co-founders of Haidilao, a chain of hotpot restaurants.
以及連鎖火鍋店海底撈聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人李海燕和舒萍。
Ms Dong, with a net worth of 3bn yuan ($440m), does not make Hurun's list.
擁有凈資產(chǎn)30億人民幣（4.4億美元）的董明珠沒有上榜。
Why have they done so well?
為什么她們做得這么好？
