Description

Shenzhen is a city that has undergone rapid transformation since its selection by Deng Xiaoping as a testing ground for China's socialist market economy. From 30,000 inhabitants in 1980 to over 10 million today, it has become one of the world's most dynamic cities and a major megapolis.

During a month-long stay in Shenzhen, Guy Delisle, author of Pyongyang, worked as a director of animation project team, experiencing a daily life filled with misunderstandings, awkward communication attempts, reflections, solitude, culinary discoveries, and surreal moments.

This book explores the theme of loneliness and communication challenges in a city built artificially to test China's immersion into capitalism. With a touch of humor, Delisle recounts his experiences in Shenzhen, offering a unique perspective on this rapidly changing urban landscape.
