00:01Shenzhen is a really vibrant and new city.

00:07Because it's new, the younger generation that work here,

00:10they're not from Shenzhen, but they become from Shenzhen once they move here.

00:16It's just welcoming.

00:30I'm Martin. I am head of mathematics at an international school here in Shenzhen.

00:35It's my second year in Shenzhen, and it's my 11th year in total in China.

00:46As an expat, generally, I think community is really, really important.

00:50When I started running about four or five years ago, I found a new community.

00:54So when I moved to Shenzhen, my colleague and I decided that we would just get that going in Shenzhen.

00:59So two years ago, yeah, we set up a version of Parkrun in Shenzhen.

01:03We found Talent Park, which is an amazing place.

01:05The scenery is beautiful.

01:07Welcome to Parkrun number 74, I think we're up to now.

01:13So welcome to Shenzhen Talent Park.

01:15So you're most welcome to probably the nicest spot to run in Shenzhen.

01:20Okay, counting down.

01:23Three, two, one, go!

01:29What I really like about it, it's not expat, it's not local, it's a really nice mixture of boats.

01:39But it's just a really lovely community of people that have a common interest.

01:43On reflection, I'm living in a city that I'm older than.

01:54Shenzhen is a very new city.

01:56It started off as a very small fishing village and it's only 45 years old.

02:00I like the fact that it has different areas and zones.

02:03Every little area has its own little feel.

02:05But it feels really homely, particularly Shoko where we live.

02:09So family life in Shenzhen as an expat is incredibly easy.

02:13We're very lucky in Shoko that we're right by the feet.

02:16And we have a beautiful promenade that actually is 40 kilometres long in total.

02:26Do you think we have a better lifestyle here than we do in the UK?

02:29Yeah, it's nice to have a lot of freedom over here and be able to go out at night and feel safe.

02:36It's fun.

02:37Yeah, the safety is the big thing actually, isn't it?

02:39It's really good that, you know, sort of when you're walking home you don't need to worry or anything like that.

02:43Yeah.

02:44Yeah.

02:45And the thing is that here is so walkable.

02:48And when we go back to my parents, everything will have to be in a car.

02:52As a family unit, it's incredibly convenient.

03:08In Shoko and Shenzhen as well, there's a lot of authenticity about the restaurants that we have.

03:13So Tequila Coyote is a restaurant I go to often.

03:16It's run by an amazing Mexican guy.

03:25When I came to Shenzhen, there wasn't a Math Jam.

03:28There wasn't one set up and I wanted one.

03:30So I set one up.

03:32The idea is to give an opportunity for people who just like maths and puzzles and games to meet together in a bar or a pub to do maths puzzles.

03:40So yeah, found the right place and then found a common core of people that wanted to come.

03:44And then yeah, got the ball rolling.

03:46So that would be hilarious.

03:47All of the stuff going to go.

03:48Oh, she's about to see me now.

03:49Oh, she's about to see me now.

04:03Technology is a really key feature of living in a city like Shenzhen and it just feels very integrated and no hassle.

04:10If I turn a corner and go, is there a place I can buy a power bank?

04:13There will be.

04:14Just the convenience of all of that, mainly due to technology, is fabulous.

04:19What really strikes me is we have something called China speed and then we have something called Shenzhen speed, which is even faster.

04:37So the speed at which things change and grow always for the better is unbelievable.

04:42I mean, they can move a road like four meters to the left overnight.

04:45I mean, it's stunning what they can do.

04:47So I really love the what's next, what's different when we come back from a holiday.

04:51It's really kind of cool actually.

04:53It's really cool actually.
