Secretary Wang Weizhong,
Minister Graham Stuart,
Lord Sassoon,
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good afternoon.
I am happy to join you at the China (Shenzhen) - UK (London) Economic and Trade Cooperation Conference.
On behalf of the Chinese Embassy, I would like to extend our warm welcome to Secretary Wang Weizhong and his delegation.
今年是中国改革开放40周年。在这样一个年份举办深圳－伦敦经贸交流会，可谓恰逢其时。40年前，深圳只是一个“靠近香港的边陲小镇”。40年后的今天，深圳成功跻身中国一线“明星”城市，书写了具有传奇色彩的“深圳故事”：
首先，它是中国发展的“缩影”。深圳用不到40年的时间，从一个小渔村变成一座国际大都市；GDP从1979年的1.97亿元跃升至去年的2.24万亿元，增长了一万多倍，年均增速达23%。《经济学家》杂志称，“全世界的经济特区超过4000个，头号成功典范莫过‘深圳奇迹’。”深圳诠释了中国从“站起来”到“富起来”的历史性飞跃，有力地证明了中国特色社会主义道路是一条正确之路，是一条成功之路。
This year is the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up in China. It is a perfect year to hold this conference in London.
Forty years ago, Shenzhen was a small border town near Hong Kong. Forty years on, Shenzhen is a star of China's first tier cities. This is the legendary "Shenzhen story".
Shenzhen is first of all a microcosm of China's rapid development.
Its metamorphosis from a tiny fishing village to an international metropolis took only four decades.
Its GDP has grown by over ten thousand folds, from 197 million yuan in 1979 to 2.24 trillion yuan in 2017.
It has sustained an average annual growth rate of 23%.
The Economist marveled at the "Miracle of Shenzhen", calling it the biggest success story of more than 4,000 SEZs. Indeed, Shenzhen is the best example of China's historic leap from "getting on its feet" to "becoming prosperous". It is the best illustration that socialism with Chinese characteristics is the right path to success.
