I will never forget such a scene: 1979. It was a spring day and an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea. 1984 It's another spring, and the old man left a message on the South China Sea. Since then, there has been a fairy tale of this spring. In a blink of an eye, the former border town has become a thriving modern city.

In just over 20 years, Shenzhen has created a miracle in the history of world economic development. In the past 20 years, the rapid economic growth, long duration and good quality and efficiency are rare in the world. Shenzhen's development achievements epitomize the success of China's economic reform.

Shenzhen's reform originated from opening to the outside world. Opening-up has narrowed the distance between Shenzhen and the outside world, made Shenzhen see the disadvantages of the traditional planned economic system in direct comparison with the advanced management experience in the West, and generated a strong impetus, which made the reform centered on the economic system reform in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone not only have a fast pace, but also have a high starting point and thorough reform. From the beginning, we should pay attention to the integration with modern market economy and international practices as far as possible while adapting to the national conditions.

On the big stage of reform and opening up, Shenzhen took the lead in breaking the "iron rice bowl" of labor and employment, which was once regarded as an important symbol of socialist public ownership; Take the lead in establishing a multi-distribution system with parallel distribution according to work; According to market principles, take the lead in forming factor markets of capital, land, labor and technology; Take the lead in the joint-stock system experiment and successfully establish a securities trading market; Take the lead in implementing national treatment for foreign businessmen in the foreign exchange management system; Take the lead in establishing a social security system covering all kinds of ownership economies in the whole society; Take the lead in establishing the organization, functions, establishment and working procedures of government agencies that meet the requirements of market economy ... For more than 20 years, Shenzhen has not only changed from a border town to a modern international city with prosperous economy, advanced system, civilized society and taking shape, but also forged the soul of Shenzhen-reform.

Reform has promoted economic prosperity and social progress and created a miracle in Shenzhen. At the same time, in the great practice of reform, a large number of Shenzhen people have been created. They are brave and good at reform, closely combine development with reform, and ride the wind and waves on the ship of reform. This is another great achievement of Shenzhen's reform practice for more than 20 years. Nowadays, the preferential policies of the central government for special economic zones have basically benefited the whole country. However, after more than 20 years of reform practice, Shenzhen people do not think that the task of Shenzhen as a "test field" for economic system reform has been completed, and they have the ambition to be the "vanguard" of reform forever. People in Shenzhen understand that the central authorities let Shenzhen take the lead, not only to add a prosperous new city to China, but also to let Shenzhen explore a new road with Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Shenzhen will continue to innovate and develop in the 2 1 century.
