On December 16, People's Daily published a full-page commentary, "Literary Creation: Songs for the Times and the People," highlighting 10 outstanding literary works, including "Why Shenzhen." The article believes that these high-quality literary works keep up with the pace of the times, grasp the pulse of society, create one brilliant and dazzling character image after another, and sing songs for the times and the people.
Reform and opening up have promoted profound and tremendous changes in China, and works full of the atmosphere of the times, such as "Why Shenzhen", not only truly describe the innovative pursuit of "daring to be the first in the world" in various fields, but also reflect the assistance and encouragement of reform and opening up for the strivers by their progress and successful feats.
Nie Zhenning, chairman of Taofen Foundation, wrote in his recommendation: "Why Shenzhen" let us know the difficult trek, successful development and brilliant performance of Shenzhen people, Shenzhen enterprises, and Shenzhen city in the reform and opening up through the entrepreneurial history, growth history and brilliant history of 4 enterprises. After reading it, I felt happy and vivid, especially I had a deep memory and a deeper understanding of Shenzhen's 40 years of reform and opening up.
It is reported that the long-form reportage "Why Shenzhen" created by Shenzhen Haitian Publishing House is not only a key publication published by the Central Propaganda Department in 2020, but also shortlisted for the 2020 "China Good Book".
The book unfolds a picture of Shenzhen's history with a grand vision: forty years ago, Shenzhen was still a border town full of coconut sea rice fields; forty years later, Shenzhen has become a bridgehead and vanguard of reform and opening up. Forty years of spring wind and rain and vicissitudes of great changes, through thorns and thorns and forge ahead is its most basic background.
The book presents the "seemingly rugged and most arduous" development process of Shenzhen in the past 40 years, depicts the entrepreneurial experience of Huawei, Tencent, DJI and Yuntian Lifei in a colorful way, and makes a vivid answer to the question of "why Shenzhen" from the three perspectives of humanities, rule of law and science.
