　　"Many industries in Shenyang are developing continuously. I see many non-locals and foreigners work in Shenyang and live a comfortable life here." Sharjeel said. Especially in recent years, Shenyang has continued to step up its opening up to the outside world. The fast-growing export-oriented economy is bringing more and more international high-level technical professionals to Shenyang.
