As "city partners", these fresh blood set off a climax of secondary city building in Longgang.

More than 40 years ago, on the desolate tidal flats of Longgang, farmers partnered to raise funds to build a city, creating a miracle of "China's first peasant city" in one fell swoop. Nowadays, Longgang once again carries forward the "spirit of partnership", so that talents and a large number of labor force can enter, retain and live well.

Social workers and buses have entered rural communities, and farmers have housing provident funds.
On the basis of streamlining institutions and saving 60% of administrative costs, Longgang spends more than 80% of its fiscal revenue on people's livelihood expenditures every year, continuously integrates high-quality resources, promotes reforms such as "education community", "medical community" and "cultural community", and basically builds a "15-minute public service circle". Equalization and high-quality facilities and services have made Longgang the first in the province to realize the urbanization of the whole region, and the attraction of coming to Longgang to start a business has become stronger.
