A vegetable market vendor published two books in ten years and became a hot search, using words to record his life

There is an auntie who sells vegetables in the market. She usually haggles with other aunties and uncles over a few cents and uses her free time to do so.

She published two books in ten years and became a "big star" in the vegetable market. Her name is Chen Hui, she is from Rugao, Jiangsu, was born in the 1970s and is 43 years old this year.

In April this year, Chen Hui's new book "Children of the World" was published, which made Chen Hui "popular" and was really on the hot search list. She was hailed as the "female writer in the vegetable market". In fact, this is her second published book. The first book was a collection of essays published three years ago, "The Person Who Ferry You Across Will Come No Matter How Long It Takes."

Chen Hui's difficult life experience

Chen Hui's life can be summed up in three words: not easy. She was given away by her biological parents at the age of three, and did not return to her biological parents until she was 13. After graduating from high school, she was plagued by illness and had to take medicine for life. At the age of 27, she married and moved to Zhejiang. At the age of 40, she divorced and lived alone with her son in Liangnong Town.

Start writing books in your spare time

Chen Hui works as a vendor in the vegetable market pushing a cart every morning, and in the evening, she sits in front of her computer to create freely. She uses words to resolve all the suffering in life, and words give her the last bit of comfort.

"Publishing a book was beyond my expectation." Chen Hui admitted that she did not write for the purpose of publishing a book, but mainly because she loves writing. "Until now, I still don't think that publishing a book means that I am a writer."

The first book published is "The One Who Ferrys You Away Will Come No Matter How Long It Takes"

"My first book is called 'The One Who Ferrys You Away Will Come No Matter How Long It Takes'. It was published in 2018 and I wrote it in my spare time." Chen Hui told reporters that the protagonists in the book are ordinary people in the small town.

It is these ordinary small town stories with a sense of everyday life that touched many readers, and the book was reprinted twice after its publication.

Published the second book "Little Children of the World"

In April 2021, Chen Hui's second book, "Children of the World", was published.

At the readers' meeting at this year's Zhejiang Book Fair, some people believed that the fact that this vendor, who had been setting up a stall in the vegetable market for more than 10 years had published two books was an inspiration and a success.

But Chen Hui never thinks so. "Others may recognize my writing, or recognize my attitude towards life. Many people also regard me as an inspirational case, but I personally think that these are just my views on life."

She's so calm about the attention

"I don't have that much time to consider what others think of me before and after publishing a book." In Chen Hui's view, life is the most important thing. After getting up at 4 o'clock every day, she first goes to the market to earn a living.

She said: "When living in this world, we must first be down-to-earth and solve the problem of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Life is not full of poetry and distant places. We must first do well what is in front of us."

Conclusion : There are many hardships in this world, but if you work hard, you can also be very inspiring. Salute to those who struggle in the form of "art" in life!
