Although Xin'an County in Guangdong has ceased to exist in name, it has produced two world-class metropolises - Hong Kong and Shenzhen - from the matrix of one county.
Hong Kong is characterized by openness, and Shenzhen is characterized by reform.
The cultural genes of Shenzhen and Hong Kong can be traced, and they all point to Xin'an in history.
The Ming Dynasty was the Battle of Tuen Mun, and the Qing Dynasty was the Battle of Kowloon.
Shenzhen
The Battle of Tuen Mun took place in the Ming Dynasty, and its commander was Wang Hong, the 56-year-old deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao. The Battle of Tuen Mun was the first shot in the Chinese people's resistance to the aggression of Western colonialists, and it was also the first victory.
Hong Kong
The Battle of Kowloon took place in the Qing Dynasty. Its commander was General Lai Enjue of the Dapeng Battalion. Its leader was the Governor of Huguang and the Imperial Envoy Lin Zexu. The opponent was the British Admiral Charles Elliot.
