Shan-Zhen explores the unlikely historical connection between Shenzhen and the town of Shannon on the west coast of Ireland. In 1980 the future General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President of the People’s Republic of China, Jiang Zemin visited Shannon to Study the Free Economic Zone. Consequently the Shannon model was used as a template for the development of Shenzhen.
