Shenzhen's Twenty Years of Deep Waves

When China entered the WTO in 2001, the tide of the times swept across the country. Shen Mo, a young man from an electronic technical school in a small village in western Hunan, packed his bags and became one of the tens of millions of people drifting away. He started from the assembly line of an electronics factory, and moved to Huaqiangbei amid setbacks. He struggled through imitation electronic accessories, and after many ups and downs, he founded his own 3C consumer electronics brand, and then went to the South American market alone. In a foreign country, he witnessed the blood and tears of the older generation of overseas Chinese, encountered the acclimatization of brand establishment, severe challenges of regional security, barriers to commercial protectionism, and the fierce collision of Chinese and foreign labor cultures. Finally, he found a way out due to the opportunities of the times and personal perseverance. This is not the history of one person's fortune, but a vivid slice of the city of Shenzhen over the past two decades - the symbiosis of struggle and indifference, tolerance and checks and balances of rules. It not only reflects the long pain of China's electronics industry from imitation to innovation, but also the turbulent waves that pushed millions of people into the global market. The ultimate questioning of the Shenbiao group about reproduction, education, and belonging are all reflected in his life trajectory. "The true greatness of Shenzhen has never been about how many legends of wealth it has created, but about how every ordinary young man like Shen Mo dares to believe the moment he steps into this land: I can refuse to accept fate. Even if the price of not accepting fate is losing their youth, fading the local accent, and changing some things they once believed in - they still have no hesitation."
