Doors and doorways

Shenzhen: China’s third largest city, one of the world’s busiest container ports, home to one of the most highly capitalized stock exchanges in the world, and the centerpiece of Deng Xiaoping’s effort to transform China’s economy. Shenzhen borders Hong Kong and Macau, and in many senses is the true modern gateway between China and the world. I’d never been in Shenzhen before, and the brief day’s halt for an intense meeting could not really be counted as a visit.

When we broke for lunch I had a little time to walk around the Shenzhen campus of the Hong Kong University of China. The conference center was names after the Hong Kong movie mogul Run Run Shaw. He was a well-known philanthropist who had contributed enormous sums to the university. I wanted to come back here as a tourist with The Family, but right now I could take a few photos. Of doors and doorways.
