Shenzhen*

2025.12.30.12.00 This book mainly writes about the development history of Shenzhen and some celebrities in the era. Many celebrities and entrepreneurs of the same generation came from here, such as Zhou Bichang, the fast boy champion. If a place has good policies and is close to the sea, it will naturally develop better economically than a cold inland place. Even the entertainment industry will have some fun. From the book, you can feel how a city develops into a special economic zone. It's a good book about how people in the city struggle, but it doesn't write in detail, but rather from a macro perspective.

This "Shenzhen Biography" has a unique perspective and rich content. It is written in prose, which is very novel. The book provides an in-depth and easy-to-understand analysis of Shenzhen's history, society and culture, which I really like. Especially the study of Shenzhen culture, which shows the unique cultural charm and spiritual outlook of Shenzhen. Lao Heng's description of Shenzhen in the book is fascinating and gave me a deeper understanding and stronger interest in this city.

It is of little significance to record the big names who have succeeded in entrepreneurship in Shenzhen in the form of a running account, because people with senior social experience will know what exactly they relied on to succeed. Books will not write it down, because if it is written, it may not be published. I read it in a hurry, not to see how someone succeeded. What I was interested in was looking at the city's development, culture, etc. From a historical perspective.

I read this book out of curiosity: how did Shenzhen become what it is now? After reading it, I felt that some of my doubts had been solved. The book describes the past and present of Shenzhen, the construction process of the special zone, the development and struggles of famous local companies and celebrities, and the regional culture and humanistic characteristics... The information is quite rich, the story is strong, and it is not tiring to read. Of course, I also feel that some of the content seems to stray from the theme, and some of it talks to itself.

The author is very good at telling stories. Reading about Shenzhen is actually also reading about the history of micro-tech business development. This is the core charm of Shenzhen, and the development of business is also very insightful. A book that has benefited a lot, it is indeed Shenzhen with an international perspective.
