The 40th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was held here. General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the conference and delivered an important speech.

The comparison between the present and the past made the General Secretary sighed with emotion: "More than 40 years ago, I came to Shenzhen and went to Zhongying Street. I saw that the gap between the two sides was really too big. One side was a dilapidated wooden house and the other was air-conditioned. A magnificent small building. At that time, I felt that the people have a strong desire to change their lives and destiny."

　　On the electronic screen at the end of the “time-space tunnel”, with the beating of the years, the histogram of the GDP comparison between Shenzhen and other major cities in China is constantly changing, further interpreting the miracle of Pengcheng's take-off in the past 40 years.

The next step is to make persistent efforts."
