According to the results the central authorities released in March, Shenzhen was ranked the 2nd among 30 deputy-provincial cities in the country in the 2021 national civilized city annual appraisals.

Shenzhen had previously won the title of the national civilized city six times consecutively. As required by the municipal government, the city is doing its best to strive to grab the title for the seventh time.

The government is confident that the unity, selflessness, and fearless spirit the city has demonstrated in fighting the novel coronavirus can become a spiritual legacy of the city.
