Luan Shaodong shows his new ID card on March 29 in Shenzhen in south China (last five digits are blurred). Luan, a medical worker at Shenzhen No 2 People's Hospital, was the first to receive the second-generation card. The card is a high-tech product with chips built in. All permanent Shenzhen residents will get their new ID cards by the end of next year, and a nationwide ID card replacement will begin.[newsphoto]
