Shenzhen’s 40th Anniversary and Human Civilization 4.0

The 40th anniversary of Shenzhen’s development is the Monument Valley of China’s economic miracle. Fortunately, it is a monument full of vitality, continuous development and evolution. As reform and opening up enter the deep water zone, Shenzhen is not only a monument, It also bears the heavy responsibility of Venus. Currently, the country has many forward-looking and experimental policies implemented in Shenzhen. The results of Shenzhen’s implementation of these policies will affect the direction of China’s economic development in the next few decades.

Shenzhen Spirit It is a benchmark for the Chinese nation to forge ahead unwilling to be left behind. As early as forty years ago, Shenzhen shouted the slogan "Time is money, efficiency is life". This was in the early 1980s when the smoke of planned economy and class struggle had not yet dissipated. It can be described as ground-breaking, and even a bit rebellious. Shenzhen has loosened the shackles of the planned economy tied to the people, and boldly introduced the market economy and overseas capital. At the same time, the tolerant social environment and the government's openness have attracted a large number of people with a fighting spirit. People who dared to think and do things rushed in, thus kicking off the world's greatest economic development miracle.

In just forty years, Shenzhen's achievements are breathtaking. In 1980, Shenzhen's General Production It was only worth 270 million, and today it is 2.7 trillion. After deducting inflation factors, it has increased by at least several thousand times. There were two "tech talents" in Shenzhen at the beginning, one drove a tractor and the other was a veterinarian. Now they are engaged in the science and technology industry in Shenzhen. There are more than two million people in Shenzhen. Shenzhen has the most efficient and innovative hardware industry chain in the world. It also has technology giants such as Huawei, Tencent, and DJI. Shenzhen has eight of the world's top 500 companies. More The good news is that Shenzhen has a younger population structure, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and many start-up companies are growing in the incubator. In time, new Huawei and Tencent will emerge.

Shenzhen is a force for reform and opening up. The result is just like the sea creates huge waves. The most profound significance of Shenzhen is that it allows China to fully understand, understand and master it from the height of the temple to the distance of the rivers and lakes, and sincerely accept the objective laws of the market economy. In our economic and Social development has gone through serious detours. Under the guidance of ideology, the objectively existing and inviolable laws of the market economy have been rejected. The forced implementation of the planned economy has seriously damaged social creativity and enthusiasm, and has paid a heavy price for this.

The development of Shenzhen shows that the market economy and socialist public ownership are completely integrated. This is extremely important. It allows the party and the government to boldly promote market-oriented reforms without worrying that the socialist system will be challenged and damaged. As a result, China The economy can continue to iterate and develop driven by market forces. As long as China no longer rejects the market and returns to the era of closed-door planned economy, no force will affect China's economic development, and the Trump administration's "decoupling" conspiracy will eventually end. It's the mantis' arm blocking the car.

Shenzhen is lucky to have China, and China is lucky to have Shenzhen. Shenzhen is a witness to China's economic miracle and a monument to the diligence, bravery and wisdom of the Chinese people. Fortunately, it is still growing and evolving. It is now fifth in Asia, and it is not surprising that it will be number one in Asia or even the world in another 20 to 30 years. In the history of China's social and economic development, there is often a problem that is troubled, and that is the route problem. There was a time when we were arguing endlessly about the nature or society of sex. The various battles and mistakes caused during this period seemed to mean that China missed many development opportunities. Shenzhen's success is the final word on the route issue. Its development shows that the market economy with public ownership as the main body is a development route that is completely in line with China's national conditions. From this, we no longer need to waste energy on route disputes and no longer need to develop. Instead of swinging back and forth on the road, we have unswervingly promoted the development of the market economic system. The implementation of a series of national free trade zone policies is the embodiment of this spirit. After eliminating psychological doubts, Shenzhen and China will move forward more steadily on the road to marketization.

The changes in the past forty years have been so rapid that not only Shenzhen, but China and the whole world had no time to prepare mentally. Internally, our panic over too rapid development manifests itself in misgivings about marketization and urbanization. First, some people are not adaptable to the fast pace and high pressure brought by the market economy. They still miss the "innocent" era of "opening the door at night" during the planned economy, such as the "996 Fortune News" that is often criticized on the Internet, and "the takeaway boy fell into "Algorithmic Dilemma" and so on, this series of problems are inevitable pains in the development of market economy.

The second is people's aversion to urbanization. Even those in power have doubts about urban expansion. In the past few years, they have formulated a series of policies to raise urban thresholds and limit urban population size.

Problems brought about by development must be solved through development methods. "996" and "the delivery boy was kidnapped by the algorithm" are urgent needs for the development of productivity. Only through the accumulation of time, productivity is driven by technology and institutional power, the efficiency is sufficiently improved, and people's lives become more prosperous. , such problems can be eliminated. The social problems brought about by urbanization must be solved by further development. In the past, Londoners were worried that the city would be buried in horse manure, and no matter how fast manpower could clean it, it would not be as fast as horse-drawn cleaning. As a result, the horse manure problem was solved instantly after the invention of the automobile. Social problems caused by urbanization have to be solved by urbanization. In the past, there were motorcycle gangs and brick gangs in major cities. In the past, I even saw slogans such as "robbery on the road, kill on the spot". However, with the use of cameras combined with artificial intelligence technology, various face recognition, and gait recognition, committing crimes is equivalent to committing suicide. Nowadays, we rarely hear of vicious criminal cases such as robbery, murder, and theft. At the same time, the population agglomeration brought about by urbanization provides conditions for the creation of job opportunities. Emerging occupations such as online ride-hailing and food delivery are all derived from big cities, because only big cities have a sufficient consumer base.

Shenzhen is both a material phenomenon and a spiritual phenomenon. The development of Shenzhen shows that not hiding from problems and proactively seeking solutions is the spiritual core of reform and opening up. The development of Shenzhen has nurtured and strengthened this spirit. As a melting pot, immigrants are a constant source of "fuel". It implants the spirit of reform and opening up based on market mechanisms into the brains of immigrants, and spreads the spirit of daring to venture and fight throughout the land of China through them.

Li Lu, Buffett’s best Chinese apprentice, proposed the concept of civilization grading. The so-called Civilization 1.0 is agricultural civilization, and 2.0 is industrial civilization. Developed countries are now in Civilization 3.0, which means that the explosion of scientific and technological innovation caused by the exchange of ideas means that the development of human society no longer has the ceilings like 1.0 and 2.0. He believes that China is still in the 2.5 era, and the foundation of the market economy has been firmly established but has not yet been fully developed. In my opinion, Shenzhen has entered 3.0 ahead of the rest of the country. The market economy and the idea of ??division of labor and cooperation based on the spirit of contract and law are deeply rooted in the hearts of every Shenzhen person. As a locomotive, Shenzhen can drive the entire land of China into Civilization 3.0, and then it will consciously explore towards Civilization 4.0, making attempts and breakthroughs in many fields such as science and technology, humanities and culture, productivity relations, business operations, etc., not only for the development of China, but also for the development of China. Providing ideas should also provide assistance for the development of the world and the progress of human civilization.

I wish Shenzhen will become number one in the world as soon as possible. The glory of Shenzhen is the glory of China and the glory of every citizen. The further development of Shenzhen involves the future destiny of each of us. When Shenzhen moves towards a better future, each of our lives will be brighter.
