Minnan Province, a major city in the east, lies across the strait from the treasure island of the motherland. It is located at the forefront of the reform and opening up, and is one of the first batch of experimental special economic zones initiated by the state. Among them, Minnan Province has one, which is the place where Nie Zhenbang is going to assume his duties – Wanghai.
Minnan has nine prefecture-level cities, 26 municipal districts, 17 county-level cities, and 45 counties under its jurisdiction. The total population of the province exceeds 30 million.
All this information has been gathered by Nie Zhenbang in preparation for his position in Minnan. Even though he will mainly be based in Wanghai, he still needs to thoroughly understand the province in order to be successful in his role.
