Abstract
Meng Lingqun, a 27-year-old man from Xinji, Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, was born in an ordinary rural family, which was not much prosperous. At the age of 18, he came to Beijing alone to earn his life. At first, he worked in a tourism development company, mainly in charge of designing tourism projects. And then, he managed a few stalls by himself, which inspired the idea of his own business.
Not all the challengers will gain success on his way to start his own career. For example, Mr. Meng, an entrepreneur we interviewed, is a man who failed in his first attempt. Last Saturday, he told us his story about entrepreneurship, which inspired us a lot.
