The first-tier cities in China all have their own titles: Beijing is called the Imperial Capital, Shanghai is also called the Magic City, Xi'an is also called the Abandoned Capital, and Nanjing is the Old Capital. Shenzhen is also a first-tier city, but its title is highly controversial. There are all kinds of titles.
For example, the village capital, you read that right, yes, it is the village capital. Shenzhen has the largest urban village in the country. Although Shenzhen emerged after the reform and opening up, the number of ancient villages cannot be counted on two hands. Xin'an Ancient City—Shenzhen's largest historical and cultural relic tourist attraction. Fuyong Fenghuang Ancient Village—the most complete group of ancient buildings preserved in Shenzhen. Dapeng Suo City is a well-preserved Suo City in Guangdong. The former site of Pingshan Hakka Village is a typical Hakka Zhuanlong House in Shenzhen. Ancient Ruins—the largest group of ancient watchtowers. Guanlan Printmaking Base—the most beautiful countryside in Shenzhen.
As a foreign capital, there are basically no locals in Shenzhen. The migrant population in Shenzhen accounts for 80% of the population in Shenzhen. The country has given Shenzhen good policies, and the migrant population has built Shenzhen. It can be said that today’s Shenzhen is entirely created by the migrant population. The high-rise buildings in Shenzhen have shed the sweat of many migrant workers. The factory lights are on all night long, and how many workers are working on the assembly line year after year. There are also sanitation workers who work under the scorching sun every day. How many immigrants have dedicated their best youth to Shenzhen, and Shenzhen is burdened with the blood and tears of many immigrants. Shenzhen today is inseparable from the immigrant population, but few outsiders can settle in Shenzhen.
As the capital of innovation, Shenzhen’s innovation index ranks second in the country. In 2017, the top ten companies with the largest number of invention patents granted in my country were: State Grid Corporation of China (3,622), Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (3,293), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (2,567), and BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. Company (1,845 cases), ZTE Corporation (1,699 cases), Lenovo (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (1,454 cases), Zhuhai Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. (1,273 cases), Guangdong Opal Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. (1,222 cases), China National Petroleum Corporation (1,008 cases), Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (862 cases). It can be seen from the above data that Shenzhen holds two seats among the top 10. It has strong strength in the field of invention, especially in international PCT and enterprise invention.
The City of Miracles, this one is relatively extensive. His predecessor was just a small, run-down fishing village. In just a few decades, it has grown into an international metropolis. Moreover, under the wave of reform and opening up, many people have realized their dreams in Shenzhen. Created one miracle after another, isn’t this a miracle?
