On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, on the evening of August 26, CCTV's "news broadcast" spent more than five minutes in a prominent position, focusing on the practical road of Shenzhen from the "Pathfinder" of reform and opening up to the "demonstration area" of the new era in the past 40 years.

At the same time, CCTV's quick comment was issued: "the new mission in the age of 40 years is written on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of China's special economic zone". "Prominent position report + CCTV quick review" is extremely rare.

In 1980, the party and the state made a major decision to establish a special economic zone, and Shenzhen took the lead in establishing it.

"News broadcast" has paid special attention to the breakthroughs and innovations in various fields of reform in Shenzhen over the past 40 years, creating more than 1000 national firsts. Reform and opening up is the gene of Shenzhen and the code of leapfrog development. In Qianhai, 573 innovative systems in the fields of investment facilitation and trade facilitation have achieved remarkable results in promoting Shenzhen Hong Kong cooperation, serving the mainland and opening up to the outside world, providing strong guarantee for leading high-quality economic development.

Innovation is the background color of Shenzhen. From the beginning of the establishment of the city, the science and technology foundation was almost zero, and now it has become one of the core engines of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area. Over the past 40 years, Shenzhen has adhered to the innovation driven strategy, focusing on basic innovation and source innovation to build an international science and technology innovation center.

Let the fruits of reform benefit the people more. "News broadcast" also focuses on the well-being of the people's livelihood in Shenzhen: from children's enrollment to pension services, to medical treatment, from water pollution control to air quality improvement, to ecological garden city. The "happiness" of the masses can be seen and felt in Shenzhen.

The new era gives Shenzhen a new mission. In August 2019, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the opinions on supporting Shenzhen to build an advanced demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This means that Shenzhen will change from "single champion" to "all-round champion" and take the lead in the global city competition as a national "strategic team".

Reform will not stop and opening up will not stop. In the new era, Shenzhen is forging ahead with the reform spirit of "daring to explore, dare to be the first", moving forward towards the direction of building the first demonstration area of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and striving to create a city example of a powerful modern socialist country.
