Background 背景介绍
As Eyeshenzhen.com will soon launch an upgraded multilingual version, and the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is about to celebrate its birthday, we sincerely invite foreign friends to write a love letter to Shenzhen in multilingual form. We will select paragraphs from the love letters and combine them with the page, domain name and slogan of the new multilingual website, as well as some special effect designs to enhance the users’ visual experience and interaction with the website and the city through the form of a “love confession wall.”
值EYESHENZHEN英文门户网站即将上线全新升级版本和多语种版本、以及深圳经济特区即将迎来生日之际，我们诚挚地邀请广大外国朋友们以多语种形式为深圳写一封城市情书。我们将精选大家投递的情书段落，配合多语种网站的页面、域名及推广语，辅以特效设计，通过表白墙的方式增强用户互动的视觉感受。

Sideline Event 配套活动
In addition to the love confession wall display, the audience can also take part in the creation of an art work, by scanning a QR code placed at the venue and submit their notes. The art work SZ Notes will include poems and inspirational quotes written by community residents and visitors. As time evolves, they will provide inspiration for new urban ideas and thereby provide users with new interactive methods for exploring the city of Shenzhen.
除了现场展示单元，观众还可以通过扫描场地放置的二维码提交他们的SZ Notes（深圳印象笔记），使其成为该艺术作品的一部分。提交的”深圳印象笔记”包括由社区居民和游客写的诗歌和励志名言等，并将随着时间的推移不断变化，为新的城市想法提供灵感，并以此为互动者提供探索深圳这座城市的新路径。
The design will make the exhibition more sustainable and make the new multilingual website a collaborative platform that is more interactive through the participation of users.
这样的充满爱意的留言设计将使展览更加富有延续性，让全新的多语种网站在未来成为一个协作性平台，通过用户的参与令其更富交互性。
