Scor Aoxi, a German rapper, now performs in mandarin Chinese. Since he first came to Shenzhen in 2012, the south China city has become the place where he has lived the longest after high school graduation, and the place where he has considered settling down. "It is easy to make friends in Shenzhen, as we can all find a sense of belonging even though we are from different countries," Aoxi said. "As long as you hustle, you are a Shenzhener, as no one will care about your identity in Shenzhen."
