With the camera in my hand, I recorded the prosperity and serenity of Shenzhen today. I was so excited that I was fortunate enough to witness the extraordinary 40 years of the special economic zone. What is even more commendable is that I used these lens to record her development.

Forty years ago, I came to Shenzhen with the forerunners of the special zone. In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee decided to create four special economic zones including Shenzhen. The Chinese People's Liberation Army's Infrastructure Engineering Corps Headquarters decided to participate in the development and construction of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. As a result, they dispatched a regiment to go south to Shenzhen as an advance mission in the hope of making a good start.
