SHENZHEN unveiled its city promotional video, “Dare to Be a Pioneer,” during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Shenzhen Design Week, which was held at the Shenzhen Bay Intelligence Center in Nanshan District on Saturday.

The video, initiated by the Publicity Department of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the CPC, narrates the story of a man who is persistent in the pursuit of his dreams, overcoming obstacles and setbacks. It serves as a metaphor for Shenzhen’s development over the past 40 years.

Similarly, the video embodies the spirited essence of Shenzhen through the ceaseless efforts of generations of innovators and builders.

Zhang Ling, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the CPC and head of the Publicity Department, said that Shenzhen is a city born of design during the opening ceremony. Over the past 45 years, Shenzhen has transformed from an undeveloped town into an influential international metropolis. The vibrant essence of Shenzhen has created a diverse and inclusive urban environment.

A climactic moment in the video depicts the main character spreading his wings and descending like a giant bird. This moment symbolizes not only an individual successfully chasing his dream but also represents the numerous bold initiatives that Shenzhen has effectively implemented since the era of reform and opening up began.

The wings serve as a tangible representation of the aspirations associated with dreams and underscore Shenzhen’s consistent support for innovation and its unwavering encouragement of dreamers striving for their goals.

Creativity and innovation are core elements represented in the promotional video. Shenzhen is a city that creates miracles. The city respects talent with innovative ideas, encourages people to create, and provides them with platforms to manifest their creative thoughts.
