The Wind Blows Ban Ha is a drama series that aired shortly after the portrayal of the strong-willed village girl, Ha Hanh Phuc, by Zhao Liying. In this story, Zhao Liying transforms into a young and ambitious woman in the scrap steel industry.

Starting from humble beginnings, with a focus on scrap metal trading, Ban Ha slowly builds her own business empire. Throughout her challenging journey, she faces many obstacles and fierce competition. However, through intelligence and determination, she steadily achieves success and establishes her position in the industry.

This, in turn, inspires young people who are on their own paths to success.
