From a small fishing village to an international city full of charm, impetus, energy and innovation, the city has become a haven for generations of youngsters to seek their dreams of a better career and life.

Two entrepreneurs -- one from the United States, and one from France -- shared inspiring moments from their entrepreneurial journey in Shenzhen, their views of this friendly city, their perspective on the convenience of the Great Bay Area, and their expectations for the city's future.
