Winners of reform and opening-up competition

Dear participates:

We would like to express sincere thanks to everyone who joined us with their great articles and wonderful pictures, from which we selected best 40 stories publishing on China Daily Website. To be honest, it’s really difficult for us to select the winners because every submission is unique. Some articles reflect China’s immense transformations from the authors’ personal experiences and memories, some are great opinions which comment on China’s achievements over decades, and some have triggered flashbacks of the old days... These articles helped us to know more about the importance and meanings of China’s reform and opening-up which changed everyone in the world’s second-largest economy, and on the other hand, it’s perhaps a way to understanding and discovering more about China through our selected stories.

To ensure the final decision was fair, we invited eight editors, including international staff members, in China Daily Website to vote for the first, second and third prizes. Based on the content, writing skills, photos and other considerations, here are the final winners:
