"If you choose to start your own business, you become the master of your fate, and tomorrow you are destined to be the hero of this era," Xu Xiaoping, founder of ZhenFund, told more than 500 entrepreneurs at 3W Cafe, an innovation service institute in Zhongguancun.

"It is the best time to start a business. Today's China has many opportunities. I'd like to help young men realize their dreams," said Xu.

Zhongguancun has more than 10 innovation incubators like 3W Cafe. Each of them has a unique incubation mode.

"Take 3W Cafe as an example. Several years ago, it had few customers, but now people flock to the shop and I can barely find a seat. It means the passion for entrepreneurship is growing," said Xu Dandan.

Zhongguancun is the heart of entrepreneurship in China. Haidian district, the core area of Zhongguancun, has over 40 universities and colleges including Peking University and Tsinghua University, as well as more than 200 national and provincial scientific research institutes, which have become a cluster for entrepreneur achievements.
