"Women" in semi-upper class
Miss Chanel kept her birth a secret all her life. 1883, in the French village of Somir, a poor man and a poor woman welcomed their second child, named Gabrielle Chanel.
When she was 0/2 years old, her mother died, and her father sent Chanel and her sister to an orphanage. Since then, they have disappeared without a trace, so that in the future, "orphanage" has become one of the words that Chanel is most reluctant to mention.
Chanel is a girl who doesn't want to be poor. She doesn't want to be a woman like her mother, squatting on the side of the road, selling small commodities and showing all her sufferings to passers-by.
As an adult, Chanel left the temple and worked as a clerk in a knitwear shop in Mulan City. Obviously, she didn't want to sleep here, so she went to a cafe to sing. At first, she could only sing two songs, Rooster Woo Woo and Who Has Seen Coco. ...
But soon, her dexterity and cuteness won the appreciation of the audience. As long as she stands on the stage, the cheers of "Coco" and "Coco" come and go.
