Features: My Shenzhen Geography is a thematic collection of essays written by the author, recorded intermittently over several years from the perspectives of personal experiences, life encounters, ideological changes, and observational insights. The book unfolds through the author's seven years of life, work, thoughts, and interactions in Shenzhen, primarily documenting the life and ideological journey of a group of young people who moved from other provinces to Shenzhen. It includes their attitudes toward commercial civilization and life ideals, which can be seen as a partial and transitional history of Shenzhen's youth in pursuit of dreams. My Shenzhen Geography captures the most turbulent years of youth, involving time and life in real events, describing the mutual intrusion of a place and individuals or groups, and confronting the practical and spiritual dilemmas of young people in modern commercial society. The book maintains a high degree of privacy, authentically presenting the lives, thoughts, and experiences of marginalized groups in places like Shenzhen, making it a personal local history and spiritual diary where life, ideals, and friendships collide. The book contains extensive references to Shenzhen's geographical names, backgrounds, events, and memory interpretations, offering an excellent guide and reminder for cherishing the legendary rise of this city.
