Time is Money, Efficiency is Life

"Time is Money, Efficiency is Life" (Chinese: 时间就是金钱，效率就是生命) is a well-known slogan of Chinese economic reform.[1] It was initially a quote from Yuan Geng who made it public in 1981 as the director of Shekou, Shenzhen.[2][3][4][5][6] The slogan is often associated with the "Shenzhen speed".[7] After Deng Xiaoping made an inspection tour to Shenzhen in 1984, the slogan became widely known in China.[7][8]

The slogan was made a large sign in Shekou, Shenzhen (at the junction of Nanhai Boulevard, Taizi Road and Gongye 1st Road).
