【译文】On the north-eastern coast of South China Sea, there stands a city of culture and innovation. Embraced by the blue sea and blessed by the great harbor, it is the famous hometown for millions of overseas Chinese. For the past century, it has been a unique city of commerce, a national special economic zone, and an important gateway for 21st- Century Maritime Silk Road. And this is Shantou.
海风潮韵，湾岸叠翠，是这座城市的宜居魅力。
汕头地处韩江、榕江、练江出海口，濒临南海，北回归线穿城而过，总面积2198平方公里，常住人口558万人，是粤东和海西经济区南翼中心城市，素有“华南要冲，岭东门户”之称。潮汕文化千年传承，造就了人文荟萃、崇文重教的汕头，潮剧、潮菜、工夫茶独具韵味，嵌瓷、剪纸、木雕巧夺天工，英歌舞、蜈蚣舞、鳌鱼舞阳刚十足。中华古村落、南粤古驿道，无不闪耀着“海滨邹鲁”的文化光辉，印证了海上丝绸之路重要门户的历史存在。

It has been vigorously promoting the construction of a national and international model zone with the cultivation and preservation of mangroves and ecological islands so as to create a first-class ecological and livable environment for all.
开放包容，创新争先，是这座城市的精神品格。
汕头是中国著名侨乡，一直是一座开放的城市。从1860年开埠时的“商贾云集，楼船万国”，到改革开放时经济特区因侨而立，再到当前如火如荼的华侨经济文化合作试验区。遍布全球的340多万汕头华侨、港澳台同胞和在国内各地创业发展的潮商，情系桑梓、热心公益。李嘉诚先生对汕大的支持将超过80亿港元，在他的倡导推动下，在广东省和汕头市的全力支持下，座落汕头的广东以色列理工学院今年开始全球招生，将致力建设国际高水平科教和创新型大学。
【译文】Open, Inclusive and Innovative: Character and Spirit of Shantou
As a most famous hometown for overseas Chinese, Shantou has always been an open, inclusive and innovative city, from the gathering of merchants with boats and ships from home and abroad when the port first opened in the 1860s, to the reform and opening up of Shantou as one of the Special Economic Zones in the 1980s, and now the rapid development of the Overseas Chinese Economic and Cultural Cooperation Zone. Today, over 3.4 million Chaoshan overseas Chinese, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and many Chaoshan businessmen working in other parts of China, have all maintained close emotional ties with their native land and made ardent efforts to promote public good. Mr. Li Ka Shing, for example, has donated more than HK $8 billion to support Shantou University. With his strong advocacy and the support of Guangdong province and Shantou City, the GTIIT (Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) will start its global recruitment of students this year, firmly committed to the building of an innovative university with a high-level international education in science and technology.

This has greatly enhanced their sense of achievement and happiness. Numerous enterprises run by Chaoshan businessmen in other parts of the world have brought huge investment to Shantou, writing a new chapter in the pioneering spirit of the old Red-Top Sailing Merchant Boats. The reopening of the rejuvenated “Little Park” and its neighborhood has reproduced the glamour and prosperity of 'the 100-year old commercial port', creating a warm nostalgia for millions of Chaoshan people from home and abroad. The return of confidence with the return of Chaoshan businessmen, and the creation of new innovative Chaoshan image with the return of entrepreneurial spirit and efficiency, have brought forth a beautiful transformation of the city.
