The Eventors Chicago

This famous stunt was filmed on September 21, 1979, for the action movie The Hunter (1980), which starred Steve McQueen in his final film role.

The Stunt: A green 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix was launched using a pressurized air cannon from the 17th floor of the west tower's spiral parking ramp. It crashed through a protective barrier and plunged over 200 feet down into the Chicago River below.

The year was 1932 and China was starving.
A six-year-old girl named Chen Lihua was sold by her family during the famine. The family who bought her put her to work immediately. No school. No childhood. Just labor and survival. By ten she was working in a textile factory for sixteen hours a day. By fifteen she had saved enough coins hidden in a tin can to run away. She reached Hong Kong with nothing but the clothes on her back and a determination that poverty would never own her again.
In Hong Kong she cleaned houses, waited tables, learned Cantonese and then English. She studied wealthy people the way a scientist studies specimens, watching their patterns, learning that wealth had rhythms and rules that could be learned.
By her twenties she had talked her way into a sales job at a furniture factory. She understood that wealthy people didn't buy furniture. They bought status and heritage. She learned to speak that language fluently.
Then she noticed something no one else was paying attention to. It was the 1970s and China was beginning to cautiously open. Everyone around her saw risk. Chen Lihua saw the future. She began buying antique rosewood furniture from wealthy Hong Kong families discarding it in favor of modern styles, paying almost nothing for pieces that had been in families for generations. Then she sold them to newly wealthy mainland Chinese buyers desperate to display traditional culture and old-money sophistication.
She reinvested everything. Bought more furniture, then the buildings where it was sold, then the land under the buildings. By the 1980s she owned significant real estate in Beijing when property there was still relatively inexpensive.
Then China's economic explosion arrived. Property she had bought for thousands became worth hundreds of millions. Chen Lihua became a billionaire. She built the Jinbao Tower and other landmark properties in Beijing and assembled one of the world's finest private collections of classical Chinese furniture. In 2019, Forbes estimated her net worth at $5.5 billion.
She established scholarships for poor children and quietly supported families that reminded her of her own. She didn't broadcast the charity. She simply did it.
When asked about her success she was direct: ""I was hungry. I never wanted to be hungry again.""
