Adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, Shenzhen is an attractive city for talents. Benefiting from the “One Country, Two Systems” policy, youth from Hong Kong and Macao consider Shenzhen as a stage for their career development. The exhibition showcases their experiences and stories of entrepreneurship, employment and life in Shenzhen. Through objects, photographs, and artworks, the exhibition depicts their journey of pursuing and realizing dreams in Shenzhen.
