In the magnificent 40-year journey, cities have undergone historic changes, and companies have continued to show their vitality. Recently, Xinwen Network launched a series of reports on a survey of hundreds of cities, hundreds of counties, and hundreds of enterprises to take a look at the changes brought about by reform and opening up.

Shenzhen is the vanguard of reform and development, and its innovation and reform over the years has been at the forefront of the country. From a small fishing village 40 years ago to an international metropolis today, it has created a miracle in the history of world industrialization and urbanization with the courage to “blaze a bloody road”. It has not only rapidly changed its own appearance, but also played an important window and demonstration role in promoting national reform and opening up, and accumulated successful experience in exploring the path of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics.
