China women-only bar names drinks after inspiring women, including ex-domestic abuse victim
A woman in China known as Auntie Jinjin has captivated social media after she overcame violent domestic abuse and became a cleaner with ambition at a women-only bar in Shanghai.
She eventually became a bartender and now has a cocktail named after her.
Jinjin's story emerged after a Chinese blogger named Frayeef visited a bar called 'Women's Drinking Society' on May 20 and shared her experience online.
Originally from Yunnan province in southwestern China, Jinjin moved to Shanghai after getting married. She worked as a cleaner in bars across the city for more than a decade.

However, her first 10 years in the city were marked by betrayal and domestic violence, leading her to leave her marriage with nothing.
