Veteran entrepreneur weaves a new future
Workers first
The straw sculpture factory is not the first business she has started.
After being laid off from her job at a lock factory in 1999, Sun tried several business ventures, including manufacturing plastic goods and floor coverings.
By 2006, she had enough investment funds and savings to put 10 million yuan into Changchun Changda Logistics.
With Sun's advanced management and marketing ideas, the company grew rapidly and became the leading logistics company in Northeast China within several years.
With her success, Sun never forgot about making a contribution to society. She provided jobs for more than 100 migrant and laid-off workers at her logistics company.
From 2011, she organized trade cooperation among local governments, vegetable farmers and large wholesalers, which greatly increased the farmers' sales.
In 2015, Changchun Women's Federation set up a training project in Sun's company focusing on female farmers' vocational skills in the processing of agricultural products.
As part of a straw-plaiting course in 2016, students were sent to Zibo, Shandong province, to learn the craft.
