1980 where is the special economic zone?

1978 The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party blew the horn of reform and opening up. From 65438 to 0980, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen became the first batch of special economic zones in New China, among which Nanshan District in Shenzhen, Xiangzhou District in Zhuhai, longhu district in Shantou and Huli District in Xiamen were the first places for special economic zones. Since then, groups of builders from all corners of the country have come to the special economic zones and become "pioneers" in Socialism with Chinese characteristics's economic construction.

The "special" of the SAR is that it dares to be the first. It is not easy to "cross the river by feeling the stones". Over the past 40 years, the builders of special economic zones have adhered to the idea of seeking truth from facts, devoted themselves to development, actively put down the "iron rice bowl", broke the "big pot rice", let the market speak and act according to the law, and finally turned the special economic zones into "economic highlands" with accumulated funds, talented people and top technology.

The "special" of the special zone lies in its development. A flower does not represent a spring. The first four special economic zones in those years have now become a paradise for all kinds of talents to work, study and enjoy life. At the same time, the experience gained by the special economic zones and the demonstration they have brought have provided a steady stream of impetus for the economic construction of the whole country in the past 40 years of reform and opening up.

What are the touching stories of the birthplaces of the four special economic zones? What it looks like now. What are the new development measures in the face of the new situation? This newspaper recently paid a return visit to present it to you.

Starting from Shekou Port and heading north along Nanhai Avenue, the placard "Time is money, efficiency is life" echoes the blue arch of Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone.

"Forty years ago, Chiwan was still a barren mountain with only one mountain road." Fang Zhiqiang, 70, is an old employee of the Design and Research Institute of Guangzhou Waterway Bureau. Forty years ago, he still vividly remembered the working scene of opening mountains and filling the sea, building ports and building roads in Shenzhen.
