40 years of legend continues

Over the past four decades, a small fishing village has risen to become the modern, internationalized Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone. This development is a microcosm of China's reform and opening-up, and is a testament to the hard work of both the Zone's officials and its citizens.

Forty years on, the original aspirations remain steadfast. From trailblazers to new generations, they are determined to fully embrace the reform and opening-up spirit. Going forward, the Zone and Jinpu New Area will make new advances on all fronts of high-quality development and socialist modernization.

The promotional film "Prime", released to mark the 40th anniversary of the Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone, contains four parts: Maqiaozi in 1984, Pilot Demonstration, Opening and Innovation, and the Legend Continuing. Through archive photos, it vividly showcases the 40 years of changes and the enduring pioneering spirit of its people. Click the video to witness the remarkable journey!
