Preface

 

Signaling the start of reform and opening up in China,

Shenzhen is a brand-new city built by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese people,

a brilliant demonstration of socialism with Chinese characteristics created from scratch.

It is an important window showcasing to the outside world the achievements of reform and opening up in China,

and serves as an important window for the international community to witness the accomplishments of China’s reform and opening-up.

Shenzhen thrives with the rising tides of reform and opening up.

A city full of charm, dynamism, vitality and innovation,

it continues to be a pioneer in the new era and a trailblazer in China’s new journey,

to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the Chinese path to modernization,

striving to build a pilot demonstration area of socialism with Chinese characteristics,

set an example as a great city in a great modern socialist country.

 

This is Shenzhen.
