An epitome of Chinese miracle
China pools greater wisdom from Shenzhen's success to further its reform and opening-up
I was the news reporter of this advance team. We moved into the "Bamboo Leaf Barrack", a name unique to Shenzhen, and devoted ourselves to the reporting task of the construction of the special zone in full swing. I always attached a camera bag on the backseat of my bike, so that I could take pictures wherever I had an interview. One year later, I submitted my stories to local newspapers and magazines with the pictures of the team's construction life in the special zone. This offered readers across the whole country an engrossing visual feast of Shenzhen perfect for the curious minds, and at the same time a more comprehensive and authentic narration of the special zone's construction achievements. I recorded the spectacular historical scenes of the engineers going south to Shenzhen. The photos were later collected by the Shenzhen Museum and the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, and saved as an important archive recording the historical process of China's reform and opening-up.
