Shum Chun also became a temporary home for refugees attempting to escape to Hong Kong from Mao’s Communist China.Then, in 1978, a central inspection team from the State Council in Beijing arrived, looked around and decided that Bao’an County might make a good foreign trade port and Shum Chun, now commonly called Shenzhen, a good “Trade Cooperation Zone”. The words “sleepy”, “backwater” and “small” may apply to the fishing village of Yumin, in Shenzhen’s Luohu district, but most definitely not to Shum Chun nor, it should be said, to the once walled village of Nantou, now also incorporated into the metropolis.
