The light show reflected the achievements of the economic and social development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the past 40 years, as well as the ever-changing image of the city, bringing a stunning visual feast to Shenzhen citizens.
Although Shenzhen is a young city, it is full of vigor and vitality. "If you come to Shenzhen, you are Shenzhen people" is a saying with Shenzhen characteristics, which gives every dream seeker from all over the world a lot of openness and tolerance. Over the past 40 years, we have seen tremendous changes in Shenzhen. From a small fishing village to a modern international metropolis, the speed of economic development has caught people's attention. Shenzhen's development has also let the world see the speed, height and miracle of China's development. Taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, Shenzhen has planted the flying wings of development and realized the evolution from catching up with The Times to leading The Times.
At present, Shenzhen's GDP has increased by nearly 10,000 times from less than 300 million yuan in 1980 to nearly 2.7 trillion yuan in 2019.
