Summary

When the east wind blows, the tide rises on the Pearl River; across vast seas, blue waves ripple. If Shenzhen—once a small border town on the South China Sea—was a hotbed of reform carved out during the new period of socialist modernization, as the second-generation central leadership with Comrade Deng Xiaoping at its core led China's reform and opening-up, then Qianhai is a new type of experimental field for comprehensively deepening reform and expanding opening-up, carefully planned and led in the new era—a new "sea gateway" for the new era.

Editor's review

This book takes Shenzhen's Qianhai as its entry point, observing the historical trajectory of reform and opening-up alongside the practice of comprehensively deepening reform in the new era. Li Chaoquan uses an essayistic style to interweave the geographical imagery of the rising Pearl River tide and rippling blue waves with the narrative of institutional innovation, allowing readers to see both the spatial transformation of a hotbed of reform and the continuity and upgrading of reform logic. The book devotes considerable attention to Qianhai's positioning as a new type of experimental field, making it suitable for readers who want to understand Shenzhen's development experience and care about the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It is neither a compilation of policy documents nor a simple city promotional brochure; rather, it carries public issues through literary writing, offering a sense of presence. For readers who need to understand the history of reform and opening-up, regional economies, or urban change, this book provides a relatively accessible entry point; if used in classrooms or book clubs, specific chapters can be combined to discuss the relationship between institutional innovation and urban space.

About the author

李朝全 Author

Li Chaoquan is an author about whom limited public information is available. The library currently holds two of his works, with representative titles including A Lifetime of Tibetan Affection and Spring at Qianhai. Judging from the common categories, his writing mainly falls into politics and documentary literature, and the two titles suggest an attention to real-life subjects and specific regional experiences. A Lifetime of Tibetan Affection points to Tibet as both a geographical and emotional space, while Spring at Qianhai evokes the changes of a particular era around Shenzhen's Qianhai area. Since the library contains no information about his life, identity, awards, or positions, his background and creative development cannot be known with certainty, and it would be inappropriate to speculate excessively about his personal experience. Based on the available material, Li Chaoquan's writing appears closer to an author who records reality through documentary methods and uses specific places and people to carry broader historical themes. Readers wishing to understand his style may begin with the subject matter of these two works and observe how he presents local experience and individual feeling at the intersection of politics and documentary literature.
