Ma Li was born in Dandong City, Liaoning Province in 1982. When she was very young, her parents divorced. A year later, Ma Li's mother remarried, and Ma's father was worried and secretly asked his daughter if her stepfather was good to her. Ma Li said, "He is better to me than you are to me."

Ma Li, who was filled with guilt, knew that she must become stronger in order to become her mother's supporter.
But the road to struggle is doomed to be bumpy. When Ma Li was renting a house, she met a rogue agent. Unable to get any benefits from the straight-tempered Ma Li, they spread the news that she could provide "special services." They called 110 to complain that she was disturbing residents, and called 120 to complain that she was injured.
