A Conversation with the Heiress of ZuLiJian: Navigating Legacy and Ambition
Last week, I had the opportunity to interview Zhang Jinkang, the founder of the elderly shoe brand ZuLiJian. At its peak, the brand achieved an astounding annual retail sales of 40 billion yuan across all channels. Interestingly, I found a unique connection during the interview - his daughter and I are of the same age; she was born in 1994, and I in 1993. Our conversation during the journey was more engaging than talking to her father.
