When people mention Huaqiangbei, many first think of "China's No. 1 Electronics Street." However, its portrayal in film and television works is actually more than just this one side—sometimes it is a battleground for grassroots entrepreneurship, sometimes a gray area for shanzhai (copycat) phones and the electronics business, and sometimes merely a backdrop for the urban changes of Shenzhen. Public film, television, and documentary works set in or themed around Huaqiangbei can be roughly divided into two categories: "documentaries" and "film and television dramas." Among documentaries, the older one is Huaqiangbei zhi Lian (Love in Huaqiangbei) from CCTV's Jianzheng (Witness) program. Aired in 2009, this episode tells the story of Liu Jiang, a young man from Hunan who came to Huaqiangbei in 1992 to seek his fortune, starting out selling counterfeit money detectors. It is an early audiovisual record that uses an individual's fate to present the business opportunities of Huaqiangbei. In the same year, CCTV-1 also broadcast the 13-episode documentary series Suiyue Shanhe · Shenzhen (Years and Rivers · Shenzhen), in which the Huaqiangbei-related chapter was presented alongside Dafen Village and the Luohu Past, forming a group portrait of ordinary people in Shenzhen. Shenzhen's transformation from a barren land to high-rise buildings Two works with a clear "official production" label were led by Futian District. One is the four-episode documentary Jiema Shenzhen · Huaqiangbei (Decoding Shenzhen · Huaqiangbei), planned by the Futian District Committee and District Government. Its four episodes—"The Back View of the Scenery," "The One-Meter Counter," "The Phoenix in Nirvana," and "Dancers on the Peak"—tell respectively why an international incubator chose Huaqiangbei, wealth creation at the counter, the transition from shanzhai to branding, and another turn under the internet wave. The other is Lange zhi Dian · Huaqiangbei (Peak of the Wave · Huaqiangbei), which premiered online across all platforms in May 2021, guided and produced by the Publicity Department of the Futian District Committee. It is divided into four chapters—"Tide Rising," "Rowing Hard," "Riding the Waves," and "Setting Sail"—and records the process of Huaqiangbei's formation, rapid development, and transformation. It was released on platforms such as Youku and Bilibili. A one-meter counter in Huaqiangbei In terms of film and television dramas, about 95% of Nice View (Miracle · Stupid Kid), released during the 2022 Spring Festival, was shot on location in Shenzhen. The story follows young Jing Hao as he assembles and repairs phones in Huaqiangbei to start a business and save his sister. After countless failures, he succeeds and earns 800,000 yuan in four months, recreating the entrepreneurial experiences of countless ordinary people in Huaqiangbei. At the end of 2025, the officially co-created premium short drama series Miracle aired in prime time on CCTV-1, with Huaqiangbei's SEG Plaza linked together with landmarks such as the Guomao Building and Shenzhen University to trace the changes of the Special Economic Zone over 45 years. The 2026 Spring Festival release Jingzhe Wusheng (Silent Thunder) was filmed in Shenzhen; some of the electronic product props in the film were purchased from Huaqiangbei and modified before appearing on screen, bringing Huaqiangbei's hardware ecosystem into the film's narrative. Huaqiangbei entrepreneurs have also made attempts in film and television dramas. Xie Jiapeng, a talented man from Chaoshan (affectionately called "Old Xie of Huaqiangbei" by the bosses' wives), squeezed time out of drinking to write the bestselling novel Fuqin de San Wan Kuai Qian (Father's 30,000 Yuan), which describes the struggles of Chaoshan people starting businesses in Huaqiangbei—and, of course, the love between young people who share hardships. He also gathered a group of handsome men and pretty women from Huaqiangbei and self-directed and starred in a stage play of the same name, which was well received! In addition, Mr. Yang of Guangsheng Electronics founded Dexi Film Industry and participated in investing in and shooting the film Baozou Mama (Runaway Mom), starring the famous actress Fang Qingzhuo. It tells the story of a mother who walks rapidly to lose weight and then donates her liver to her seriously ill son! Xie Jiapeng's book Father's 30,000 Yuan, image source: Dangdang Books There are not many image works related to Huaqiangbei, but documentaries focus on recording its development and changes, while film and television dramas focus on presenting entrepreneurs' struggles. Together, the two have left relatively complete audiovisual materials for this street. Note: The data and materials in this article are referenced from authoritative reports and materials.

How many renowned entrepreneurs can be found on a single street? If this question were posed in Huaqiangbei, the answer might exceed your imagination. The most remarkable aspect of this district is that it has not only incubated over sixty billionaires, but also nurtured a number of companies and individuals who have reshaped the landscape of their respective industries. The most renowned figure in the tech industry is Ma Huateng of Tencent. In 1998, at the age of 27, Ma Huateng and his classmates started their venture in a small office within the SEG Technology Park; it was there that he went through pivotal stages—launching QQ, securing his first fortune, and later leading the company to a successful listing in Hong Kong. This journey is frequently cited as the most iconic "Huaqiangbei hallmark." Beyond Tencent, companies such as Han's Laser, DJI, Kinghelm, and Slkor also completed their journey from zero to one—developing their products in Huaqiangbei during their early stages of entrepreneurship. Tencent's starting point history / Photographed at Huaqiangbei Museum In the fields of computers and network equipment, several pivotal entrepreneurs have emerged. Wu Haijun of Shenzhou Computer, in his early days, could not secure a proper storefront; he had to start by selling computer components at small counters owned by others, eventually growing his business into one of China's mainstream computer brands. Similarly, Zhao Jianjun, the founder of TP-LINK routers, also began his career at a counter in Huaqiangbei. Other notable examples on this list—Kingdee, PULAN, Tongzhou Electronics, and Yanxiang Intelligent—were all companies that rose from this commercial district. The most inspiring figure may well be Wang Li, the chairman of Haoen Acoustics. According to recollections of industry veterans, she began her career as a winding operator on a factory assembly line; later, she moved to the counter at Huaqiang North Station to sell mobile phone microphones, where she discovered that the business was highly viable. Consequently, she started her own venture, continuously learning and honing her skills while balancing her entrepreneurial activities with her work. By implementing scientific management practices, her company has grown steadily in size and scale. Today, Haoen Acoustics stands as a leading enterprise in its industry. Kinghelm / Slkor 's Song Shiqiang (right) attends the JLC listing appreciation banquet The rise of a new generation of enterprises in the consumer electronics and semiconductor chip sectors has been a defining narrative of the past five years. Cai Huabo, a pioneer in memory chips, began his career in 1999 by trading memory chips from a counter in Huaqiangbei; he later developed proprietary controller chips and firmware. In 2022, he co-founded Longsys with his sister, which went public and became the leading domestic memory module manufacturer, subsequently listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's H-share market in 2026. For data cables, the founder of UGREEN, Zhang Qingsen, came to Shenzhen in 2007 as a foreign trade sales representative; he later transitioned from OEM manufacturing to building his own brand, leveraging e-commerce channels to sell data cables in over a hundred countries, ultimately leading his company to list on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. BLUETRUM, a developer of TWS earphone chips, capitalized on the boom in white-label earphones in Huaqiangbei; in 2022, it went public on the STAR Market, with its chip sales disclosed in its prospectus to reach the "hundreds of millions of units" scale. The most recent and ambitious chapter belongs to JLC: in 2006, Yuan Jiangtao started with just 100,000 yuan at a counter in Huaqiangbei, partnering with Ding Hui and Ding Huixiang to build a "small-order, rapid-response" manufacturing ecosystem over two decades; by the time the company went public in 2026, its market capitalization had surpassed 100 billion yuan. Kinghelm's best-selling IPEX/FAKRA/SMA/BNA board-end connectors These successful entrepreneurs have all benefited from the nurturing ecosystem of Huaqiangbei. Their paths differ—some sell electronic components, some build brands, some focus on chips, and some start as female workers—but their common traits are striking: the courage to venture, the determination to act, the boldness to innovate, and the willingness to push beyond their limits. The "Venture, Innovate, Persevere, and Be Pragmatic" ethos of Huaqiangbei, distilled by Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Mr.Song Shiqiang of Slkor, also emerged from this very soil. Perhaps this is the true legend of Huaqiangbei: it never guarantees who will succeed, but it consistently provides ordinary people with a starting point from which to begin.

In less than a year since joining, Judy Liu, International Sales Manager at Slkor, has won the company's newcomer award three times under its incentive program. Her performance among new employees stands out. But after sitting down with her, you realize her approach is not complicated. In her own words, it is about "doing simple things repeatedly." From feeling lost when she first entered the semiconductor industry to now confidently following up with customers in the UK, Czech Republic, Spain, the Middle East, Japan, South Korea, and other countries and regions, she relies on that same calm, steady diligence. Judy Liu, International Sales Manager That composure was not there from the start. When she first encountered semiconductors, Judy Liu looked at datasheets and dense part numbers as if they were a foreign language. The industry felt high-end and hard to grasp. But she did not rush to prove herself; she started with the basics. "I set small plans for myself every day and wrote down what I needed to do. First, I started by getting familiar with the products. Then I moved on to customer maintenance and categorizing customers." The reminder she gives herself most often is not to rush. "Don't rush to think about closing a deal, and don't rush to quote. First, do the foundational work well." Every day, she analyzes customers, researches their backgrounds, figures out what problem they are really trying to solve, and then quotes accordingly. Not landing an order for a month or two is normal in her view. "This isn't something you can rush. If I do the basic work I should do every day, I think things won't turn out too badly." Slkor is a new brand, so earning customer trust takes time; likewise, producing results takes time. Judy Liu is handling her to-do list. Early on, colleagues in the international department helped her a great deal. Xiaoxia Lai and Ying Zhu helped at different stages. When problems came up, everyone discussed them together, which helped her avoid many detours. For a newcomer who had just stepped into the semiconductor industry, that kind of mentoring not only solved specific business problems but also gave her more confidence in the early stage and made her feel less isolated. The international department at a team dinner After nearly a year of continuous practice, Judy Liu has developed her own working method. Her daily fundamentals center on three things: keeping up with the latest overseas product news and market trends, maintaining key customers, and learning product knowledge. On that basis, she divides customers into A, B, C, and D categories, spending 80% of her time on the 20% of key customers. When she receives an inquiry, her first step is to do background research: Is the company large or small? Is it an end user or a trader? Is her contact in procurement or an engineer? For high-quality customers, she tries to stay visible, appear more often, and maintain a steady frequency of contact. Judy Liu introduced the products of Slkor to Japanese customers at the Munich exhibition. The first time she won the Newcomer Award, Judy Liu was surprised and delighted. "To receive an extra honor like that felt like a real privilege." Winning again was confirmation of her efforts. "It made me feel that I really could push myself a little harder and give a little more." She is also very grateful for the company's incentive policy, which allows newcomers to be rewarded for their efforts and to gain a strong sense of accomplishment. Regarding the incentive policy, Slkor General Manager Shiqiang Song said, "At Slkor, there are quite a few newcomers like her. The company provides the platform and resources, the policy provides motivation, and the rest is up to each person to walk out step by step." Judy Liu and FAE Wenda Xiong responding to technical questions together As she gained a deeper understanding of the industry, Judy Liu became increasingly confident in front of overseas customers. When customers visited the Shenzhen headquarters, she was poised and natural, introducing the company's history and its office environment inspired by Song Dynasty aesthetics. Before hosting visitors, she would confirm in advance which part numbers they wanted to learn about and prepare samples. When customers from the Czech Republic and Turkey visited previously, they took samples with them on the spot and placed orders after returning home. In her view, the most important thing when hosting foreign customers is to be natural and sincere, so they can feel her professionalism and sincerity. This year, she also attended electronica China in Shanghai with the company, meeting face-to-face with customers from different countries and gaining a more direct sense of their differentiated product needs. Kinghelm (kinghelm.net) Alan Yang and Judy Liu pose with overseas customers at electronica China After working with customers from different countries for a long time, Judy Liu has also stumbled over cultural differences. Many Turkish customers are religious and do not celebrate Christmas. She once mistakenly sent a Christmas email and only realized afterward that it was inappropriate. Since then, she has taken the initiative to learn about different customers' religious backgrounds, holiday customs, and cultural characteristics. For example, European customers are precise and punctual, while Middle Eastern customers value emotions and personal connections. These experiences have made her more attentive to details in cross-cultural communication. Slkor Judy Liu, Kinghelm Alan Yang had dinner together with the Turkish customers. When it comes to overseas acceptance of domestic semiconductors, Judy Liu has her own observations. She says that in the past, many overseas customers were not very familiar with domestically produced Chinese products and preferred international major brands. But international brands are expensive, so some customers began looking for ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency, and gradually saw the value of Chinese products as alternatives. "Acceptance is now much better than before, and some alternatives are actually very good." Judy Liu during the interview Next, she wants to develop more end customers and make orders more stable—by repeating simple things and doing the fundamentals solidly. At Slkor, that is how Judy Liu has made her way step by step. About Slkor Shenzhen Slkor Semiconductor Co., Ltd. was founded by Mr. Shiqiang Song in 2015 in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen. It initially focused on the R&D and production of power devices such as silicon carbide MOSFETs and IGBTs. Its product line has since expanded to include TVS ESD protection diodes, Schottky diodes, and transistors, as well as analog chips such as power management ICs, Hall sensors, and operational amplifiers. The company's core technical team brings together professionals from Yonsei University in South Korea and Tsinghua University. It has passed certifications including ISO9001, ISO14001, California Proposition 65 testing, RoHS, and REACH, and has a robust quality system with stable, reliable delivery. Guided by the philosophy of "Slkor: Chips power the Future," the Slkor brand has provided products and supporting technical services to tens of thousands of customers worldwide. Its vision is to become an internationally influential and competitive semiconductor company.

Beyond physical retail counters, there are numerous online procurement platforms for electronic components available in China. Among these, two types of platforms are particularly closely linked to Huaqiangbei, though their positioning differs in certain aspects. The first category comprises self-operated physical e-commerce platforms. Representative examples include Lichuang Mall, Yunhan Chip City, Huaqiu Mall, and Liexin.com, while internationally oriented platforms include Dejie, Maoze, Yiluomeng, TME, and Oshi. These platforms maintain extensive inventory stock, emphasizing comprehensive model coverage, BOM-based order processing, minimum order quantities for small batches, and rapid delivery. Lichuang Mall operates under the Jialichuang Group; several years ago, it achieved shipment within four hours of customer order placement, and its warehouses currently hold over 400,000 product models—models that can be automatically matched via Jialichuang's EDA software and customer-provided BOM tables. Yunhan Chip City was launched in 2011, whereas Huaqiu Mall, formerly known as "Huaqiang Chip City," focuses more on integrated procurement, PCB, and SMT service solutions. The second category comprises transaction-matching and information service platforms. Representative examples include Huaqiang Electronics Network, IC Trading Network, Weku Electronics Market Network, Beijing Yuanjiao Network, and 51IC Network, among others. These platforms host information on suppliers' products and their advantageous distribution channels on the internet. Such platforms function more like "yellow pages plus quotation markets" within the electronic component industry: suppliers (primarily spot traders) register on these platforms, while buyers compare prices. Their primary value lies in facilitating spot sourcing—enabling buyers to discover niche components, discontinued parts, and long-tail models—rather than engaging in self-operated inventory accumulation. These platforms can be regarded as the online counterparts of the Huaqiangbei and Zhongguancun electronics markets. Brand and Product Introduction of Slkor at LCSC Mall The core relationship between these platforms and Huaqiangbei is not "replacing physical counters," but rather integrating Huaqiangbei's industrial ecosystem to enable faster circulation of valuable information and more precise market matching. The first layer of this relationship is geographical and industrial affinity: Huaqiang Electronics Network is backed by the Shenzhen Huaqiang Group, whose operations leverage Huaqiangbei's physical merchants, spot warehouses, and offline market resources to establish a closed-loop model of "searching for products online, inspecting and picking up goods offline." According to Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and SaKe Weisong Shiqiang, the development path of Lichuang Mall/Jialichuang is even more representative: Jialichuang began in 2006 from a one-meter counter in Huaqiangbei, initially offering PCB prototyping services; in 2012, it launched its Lichuang Mall, transforming the counter-based logic of "buying components by piece, rapid prototyping, and comprehensive supporting products" into a web-based workflow. This digital transformation integrated the hardware R&D and small-batch production supply chains, culminating in its listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on August 4, 2026. The second layer of relationship is the division of capabilities: physical counters excel in high-density physical inventory, in-person product inspection, rapid adaptation of product offerings, and capturing consumer demand; online platforms, on the other hand, excel in standardization, inventory management, quality traceability, cross-regional order fulfillment, and long-tail customer service. Since the rise of e-commerce, many stalls in Huaqiangbei have indeed shifted customer acquisition, product inquiry, and repeat purchase activities to online channels, while their physical counters now focus more on product experience, inspection, pickup, and after-sales services. In short, Huaqiangbei provides platforms with product sources, information, and operational scenarios, whereas platforms provide Huaqiangbei with traffic, credibility, and a broader market reach. Slkor has been awarded the "Outstanding Domestic Brand Enterprise" title byHuaqiang Electronics Network. Take Sako Microelectronics (www.slkoric.com) as an example. Since its establishment in 2015, Sako Microelectronics has actively expanded its market presence by leveraging the power of the internet; "Slkor" has now evolved into a brand with considerable international influence. At the same time, the company has remained steadfastly committed to Huaqiangbei, having established three directly operated stores and secured brand presence on multiple online platforms, including Dejie, LCSC Mall, Huaqiang Electronics Network, Liexin Network, and Weku Network. On the Dejie platform alone, the company generates thousands of orders each month. Furthermore, for three consecutive years, Sako Microelectronics has been recognized as an "Outstanding Domestic Brand Enterprise" by Huaqiang Electronics Network, and in 2024, it was honored as one of the "Top Ten Domestic Brand Enterprises" by Weku Network.

The business model of the Huaqiangbei Electronics Market has evolved through the cumulative development of four distinct phases; these phases did not simply replace one another, but instead intertwined and complemented each other. Each phase dominated the market for several years in its respective era, ultimately becoming an integral part of the hardware supply chain ecosystem within Huaqiangbei's electronic component industry. 1、"Huaqiangbei One-Meter Counter" BOM Bill of Materials In the late 1980s, electronics markets such as SEG and New Asia began dividing entire floor spaces into counters approximately one meter in length for sale or lease to individual merchants—this became one of the early "Huaqiangbei One-Meter Counters," one of the four distinctive features of Huaqiangbei. The business model involved customers bringing BOM (Bill of Materials) sheets to Huaqiangbei, where the counter owners would, based on the orders, assemble and deliver dozens or even hundreds of component models one by one. This model emerged against the backdrop of China's transformation into the "world's factory," during which numerous small factories proliferated in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions. Large foreign corporations, however, required bulk procurement of components, which could not meet the fragmented demands of these small-scale customers. Moreover, these customers lacked the specialized knowledge, time, and distribution channels to procure such diverse product ranges. Consequently, merchants in Huaqiangbei began breaking down bulk orders into smaller lots for retail sale, profiting from information asymmetry and ancillary services. At its peak, a single counter could generate daily sales exceeding one million yuan, while the transfer fee for such a counter—locally known as the "tea fee" —reached several hundred thousand yuan. In SEG Plaza, prime retail spaces were sold at 300,000 yuan per square meter! These counter-based businesses have long been predominantly operated by married couples or within family enterprises—characterized by compact storefronts, rapid capital turnover, and the need for round-the-clock staffing. The natural division of labor among relatives lowers both trust requirements and labor costs: one partner handles store operations, order processing, accounting, and product distribution, while the other explores new markets, sources goods, and establishes direct links with manufacturers—each leveraging their respective strengths to grow the business. Jin Hangbiao and Sa Ke and Wei Song Shiqiang argue that this model explains the rapid growth of one-meter counters and also forms the foundation for the development of "commercial social self-organization" in Huaqiangbei. 2、The "front store, back workshop" model As Huaqiangbei's service coverage and influence have expanded, the district has gradually become a focal point within the electronics ecosystem. In Huaqiangbei, there are "one-meter counters" that enable businesses not only to acquire new customers but also to promote their brands and provide face-to-face customer service. Consequently, factories from the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and even inland regions have begun to open stores directly in Huaqiangbei—whether by setting up a counter or renting a small storefront—accepting orders themselves while sourcing products from their own factories, thereby engaging in both product sales and brand positioning. Through this process, Huaqiangbei has continuously attracted resources from surrounding industrial chains, progressively integrating both upstream and downstream segments of the value chain. Currently, the three directly operated stores of SAKO Microelectronics (www.slkoric.com) in Huaqiangbei continue to operate under the "store-front, factory-back" model—allowing them to deliver rapid customer service while leveraging Huaqiangbei's large number of international clients to showcase their corporate brand image both domestically and internationally. Of course, some companies have also centralized their procurement operations within Huaqiangbei; for instance, Yunhan Mall once operated a receiving warehouse store in this district! 3、Solution-based company model The profit margins for merchants specializing solely in hardware, such as integrated circuits, are slim. In Huaqiangbei, small merchants lack pricing power; when dealing with large clients or major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), they even have little bargaining leverage, leading to intense market competition. Some merchants with technical expertise have evolved into solution providers—no longer merely selling components, but offering value-added services such as integrated hardware and software solutions, including customized product design and system debugging tailored to client needs, thereby securing higher price premiums. In Huaqiangbei, today's entrepreneurs no longer need to navigate the entire supply chain themselves; they simply present their ideas to solution providers, who then handle prototyping, design, and even manufacturing. In this process, the merchant's role has shifted to that of an "intermediary" connecting client demands with available capabilities. Song Shiqiang, general manager of Sako Microelectronics, noted that Hu Yong and his wife of Zhugao Electronics also started from a modest one-meter counter and a small cart, eventually growing into a well-known MCU distributor. Their journey exemplifies the path from family-run or couple-based operations to upgrading their capabilities toward comprehensive solution services and distribution expertise. 4、An integrated industrial chain model combining "Internet + Maker Economy + Global Expansion." The rise of e-commerce platforms has brought greater price transparency to products, leading to the decline of the traditional counter-based business model—where profits were derived from information asymmetry. Consequently, owners of businesses in Huaqiangbei have begun to turn their attention toward the internet and international trade. Merchants have migrated their foreign trade operations to online platforms such as AliExpress, adopting a hybrid business model characterized by "online order acquisition and offline shipment." A deeper transformation has been the digital integration of the industrial chain: platforms like Lichuang Mall and Huaqiang Electronics Network have replicated the Huaqiangbei ecosystem; Jialichuang, in particular, leverages EDA tools to connect the entire industrial chain, offering a one-stop service that includes "developing solutions in the morning, creating technical drawings in the afternoon, and fabricating PCBs in the evening." Building on this foundation, smart terminal products from Huaqiangbei makers can now appear on Amazon shelves in as little as one week. In the offline domain, there are incubators and maker spaces such as Zhifangzhou, Chaihuo Space, and "Angel Hub," alongside the launch of an OPC (One-Person Company) incubation base in Huaqiangbei. Together, these initiatives have established a global supply chain ecosystem within a one-kilometer radius—one capable of realizing "startup concepts, product prototyping, mass production, and direct global shipping." According to data from the report *Huaqiangbei Counterfeit Mobile Phones* authored by Song Shiqiang, the surrounding area of Huaqiangbei now hosts 4,000 R&D and testing institutions, 2,000 manufacturing enterprises, 100 equity investment firms, and 30 incubators and maker spaces, collectively forming a highly synergistic entrepreneurial ecosystem. From this perspective, the survival strategy of Huaqiangbei is rooted in continuous innovation, with market dynamics and customer demands serving as the driving force behind its business models—a reflection of its "innovation and pragmatism" culture. In booming market conditions, Huaqiangbei competes on speed, information access, and distribution channels; at a later stage of development, it shifts its focus to compliance, technology, service quality, conversion rates, and operational efficiency. While its distinctive "front-store, back-factory" model remains unchanged, the essence of its retail space has evolved from a mere one-meter stall to a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates the supply chain, innovation chain, capital chain, and talent chain.
