China film honours ‘Dumpling Queen’ from street vendor to billion-dollar food empire founder


The upcoming Chinese film The Dumpling Queen has once again drawn attention to the inspiring story of Zang Jianhe, who rose from humble beginnings as a street dumpling vendor after being abandoned by her husband and ultimately became a business mogul.

The Dumpling Queen, directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Andrew Lau Wai-keung, is set to premiere on April 30 on the mainland. It is based on the true story of the legendary Zang, the founder of the renowned food brand “Wanchai Ferry,” which specialises in dumplings.
