On April 30th, along the Huangpu River, a grand multi-media lighting fountain fireworks show was held, which was divided into three parts: Welcome to China, Meet the World Expo and Celebrate with the World, bringing the 159-year-old comprehensive Expo into ancient and modern China for the first time.

At the beginning of the performance, a warm China red and the slogan "Welcome to China" appeared on the big screen. Red fireworks fly into the night sky, and red beams shoot across the river. Huangpu River is like a huge red carpet, welcoming guests from all over the world.

Hosting the World Expo is a long-cherished dream of China people. Liang Qichao and others once proposed to hold the World Expo in Shanghai, longing for their motherland to "sleep like a lion, and a sick country will fall into depression".

With the changes of the times, the relationship between China and the World Expo is getting closer and closer. Open China has ushered in the World Expo, which embodies the splendid civilization of mankind. On the evening of 30th, every light and fireworks released the China people's Expo dream.

Blue and green have gradually become the main colors of lighting, and the bright, cheerful and enthusiastic rhythm makes people feel the harmony and beauty of urban life.

With the development of industrialization and urbanization, cities not only make people enjoy a better life, but also bring difficulties and challenges such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution and resource shortage. Shanghai World Expo is the first Expo with the theme of city. During the World Expo, people will exchange experiences on urban sustainable development.

The LED light-emitting ball floating from Lupu Bridge is changing the colors of red, yellow and orange, and it flows down the river continuously. More than 200 flag ships, under the traction of three speedboats, met with LED luminous balls descending downstream on the river. The speedboat dragged the fireworks down, and a hundred flag boats passed through the colored balls. This is a unique "water inlet".

The idea of "Romantic Water" originated from China's classic love story "Butterfly Lovers". A group of permanent fountains by the Huangpu River reappeared this touching story. With the change of music, the dance of water becomes the screen of water, and large projectors project colorful flowers and thousands of butterflies, which embodies the harmony between man and nature.

It is always the ideal of the Expo family to advocate the establishment of a harmonious world that advocates harmony, people-oriented, mutual respect and love, and is close to nature.

Golden fireworks were first lit from Lupu Bridge. Colorful fireworks are set off on barges on both sides of the strait and on the river, chasing each other and competing for beauty.

Silver and purple fireworks bloomed first, and then all kinds of colorful and dazzling fireworks bloomed one after another. "Smiling face" and other modeling fireworks depict the open China. Golden fireworks are set off from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and greet each other over the Pujiang River, forming a special shape of "hand in hand".

With the music of Ode to Joy playing, fireworks are blooming, and all searchlights, lasers and fountains are filled with colorful light and fire, which makes the sky bright for a while and illuminates the night sky for a while.

Scientific development and sustainable development are the ideas pursued by Shanghai World Expo. Wenguo Liu, assistant director of the Expo Bureau and deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, said that the fireworks used at the opening ceremony were "low-carbon", with no smoke, light sound and very bright colors.

In addition, the 2,000 guest seats at the opening ceremony were made of discarded milk boxes, the program list and handbag were made of recycled paper, and low-energy audio and led large screens were also widely used. More than 200 flag boats used in this opening ceremony will also be presented to disabled athletes for training.

"China element" runs through the whole performance. "Firecrackers, gongs and drums, China Red, Liang Zhu, and the' fish' shape for more than a year make the whole performance nationalized and internationalized." Wenguo Liu said.

David Atkins, the general director of outdoor lighting, fireworks and fountain installations at the opening ceremony, said: "If such a performance is held in any other country in the world, it will take at least one and a half years to rehearse, while in China, it will only take half a year or even less. This reflects China's strong resource allocation capabilities. "

On February 3rd, 2002, at the132nd Congress of the Bureau of International Expositions held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, China and Shanghai won the right to host the 20 10 World Expo with 54 votes and 88% of the votes. What exciting news! This is the first time that the World Expo has been held in a developing country.

In this day of welcoming the World Expo, Shanghai has undergone earth-shaking changes: there are fewer stalls everywhere; Unknown neighbors also opened their doors and began to greet and chat with other neighbors; The plastic bags that used to fly all over the sky are gone; Dirty roads have become clean; Dogs don't defecate anywhere, and they know that it will affect environmental hygiene. ...

On the day of welcoming the World Expo, it is of course very important to learn English well, because English is the universal language. It was when friends from all over the world came to Shanghai. We should communicate with them in fluent English so that they can know more about China and Shanghai.

In the days of welcoming the Expo, some knowledge about the Expo is also very important, and the concept of the Expo is very important. Otherwise, you will know more English, but it won't help if you have nothing to introduce. I learned a lot about the World Expo from the Internet and TV, so now I'll introduce it to you:

The volunteer logo of China 20 10 Shanghai World Expo is mainly composed of the Chinese character "heart" and a dove of peace flying with an olive branch. The slogan of Expo volunteers is "The world is in front of you, and we are by your side."

The National Pavilion of the World Expo also has its own characteristics. The theme of the New Zealand Pavilion is "City of Nature: Living between Heaven and Earth", and its modeling highlight is "White clouds cover the land below". I think only New Zealand, with its magnificent scenery and open Yuan Ye landscape, can proudly call itself the "City of Nature". The theme of the Danish concept is "Happy Life, Fairy Tale Paradise", and its modeling highlight is the circular track. "Happy Life, Fairy Tale Paradise" Exhibition Hall

On the day of welcoming the World Expo, we should smile more, greet more, pay more attention to some details in life, pay attention to every little thing around us, and greet the World Expo with my actions.

Let's welcome the "20 10 Shanghai World Expo" with great pride.

The Expo is getting closer and closer! I am looking forward to it! As a middle school student, how can I get closer to the Expo?

With this question, I went to the Expo Exhibition Center, saw many related pictures and interesting materials, and took some photos as a souvenir!

While I was concerned about the Expo, I held a class meeting around the activity of "Wonderful Expo, Civilization First". Everyone is in full swing! I am duty-bound to plan and preside over the work. I am very busy with my classmates in arranging the division of labor, planning the process, writing the script, collecting information and so on. While I was busy, I learned more about the World Expo, such as the history and origin of the World Expo, the highlights of previous World Expos, the origin between Shanghai and the World Expo and so on. The picture is very vivid!

I don't think I only know something about the World Expo. I hope more people will pay attention to this activity, so I started to be a small propagandist of the Expo! First of all, I mobilized people around me to sign a "wish card", then made it into a tabloid and posted it in the publicity column. I also told my grandparents what I heard at the class meeting, and they also told me many stories about the old society. I think this process is novel and interesting. Do you think I am a competent little propagandist? Ha ha.

Through this theme class meeting, I learned about the changes in Shanghai, appreciated its elegant demeanor, and found that reform and opening up have played an important role in the earth-shaking changes in Shanghai. Better understand that to be a good host in Shanghai, you must be warm, friendly and polite. There is also a new understanding of the theme of "Better City, Better Life". If we want to live a better life, we need a clean and beautiful environment, and such an environment needs to be created by us living in this city.

Environmental protection is undoubtedly a new term in the new era. Is it fashionable or practical? Is it hype or is it necessary? Everyone has a different understanding of this. I think environmental protection is what we need to care about the city. As we all know, many resources are non-renewable. If we don't cherish them, they will be lost forever, so we must do our best to support and respond to environmental protection! In fact, we can do a lot, such as turning off the tap, using more water and less detergent to protect water resources; If you can't turn off the computer, turn off the display screen, don't let the TV stand by for a long time, and cook with warm water to save electricity. Strive to become a bus or bicycle family, use less wooden pencils, use more mechanical pencil, make full use of white paper, use recycled paper as much as possible to protect the environment; Buy rechargeable batteries, refuse over-packaging, eat full packaging, use less disposable tableware, prevent garbage pollution and so on. These are just small things that can be done conveniently, but they are often overlooked, so starting from small things is very close to environmental protection.

China International Import Expo(CIIE)'s footsteps are getting closer and closer. Let's welcome the World Expo happily! Be a lovely little shanghai host.

Walk with the Expo and make your dreams come true.

As time goes by, in a blink of an eye, it is already 2009. It seems that the night when Shanghai successfully applied for the Expo seven years ago is still in sight, and the 20 10 World Expo is coming soon.

Differential distance

/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, the first World Expo was held in London, England. At the meeting, the British showed the world their most advanced machine, the double-acting steam engine, which represented the driving force of the process of world civilization and showed the world the growth and prosperity of their national wealth. China also participated in the World Expo. Although it brought China's incomparable exquisite silk product-Husi, it developed.

wait for

In the 20th century, China's modernization was flourishing, especially Shanghai, a city with ten thousand national flags in the past, ushered in the most prosperous era in modern times: one day after another, three years are different. Under the spring breeze of reform and opening up, a prosperous city stands in the east of the world, and we have the ability to show the achievements of reform and opening up to the world on behalf of China. In the evening of 2002, we Shanghainese finally ushered in our own World Expo.

practice

"Better city, better life", seven years ago, Shanghai explained our Expo concept to people all over the world with such a theme. This concept requires us not only to show the people all over the world the brand-new urban construction in Shanghai, but also to show the people's spiritual outlook in Shanghai to the whole world. Therefore, we should start from the small things around us, be polite and care for the environment. Respecting the old and loving the young, and forming a good moral fashion ... are also places where we Shanghainese need to work harder.

Let's walk with the Expo and make our dreams come true. Everyone will use their own actions to make our big family better. Let's all be civilized Shanghainese, let our dreams fly and start to act from this moment!

At the end of the summer vacation, my parents and I went to Hanover to visit the 2000 World Expo. There, almost every country has set up exhibition halls to display its traditional culture, environmental protection and scientific and technological achievements.

As soon as we arrived at the exhibition area, the first thing we visited was the Australian Pavilion. There, I first saw colorful tropical fish with my own eyes. They are guests from the Pacific Ocean! I couldn't help standing in front of the big fish tank for a long time until my father urged me to leave.

Passing through an exhibition hall showing Australian scenery films, I came to another exhibition hall. There are several computers there, so I ran to have a look. It turns out that these computers can take an interesting photo for you. First, you can choose a pattern, such as koala, grizzly bear or indigenous girl. Then, let you look at a hole in the computer, and the face of koala or grizzly bear will be replaced by your face. Then, press another key and you can take pictures. Finally, you write down your name and email address on the computer, and it will send you photos. The next day, I really received this photo on my father's computer. It was really interesting!

I bought a passport in the shop in the exhibition area. The manager said, "Every time you go to an exhibition hall, you will stamp a chapter. This is your commemoration of the 2000 World Expo." I took my passport and took a quick look at some pavilions around me, such as Japan Pavilion, Singapore Pavilion and Thailand Pavilion. I didn't forget that the first thing I did when I entered each exhibition hall was to stamp my passport. However, I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find the China Pavilion. Where the hell is it? My father looked at the map. It turns out that we came in from the west, and the China Pavilion is still in the east exhibition area! It's too far to walk, so we have to take an aerial cable car. Get on the cable car and look down from a height. Ah, it's so big here! It looks like a city. This is the Canada Pavilion and Bulgaria Pavilion, as well as the Germany Pavilion and France Pavilion. It's just a "small United Nations", which confuses me.

After getting off the cable car, we went straight to the China Pavilion. There is a bright five-star red flag in front of the China Pavilion. One wall is completely covered with a picture of Zhang Changcheng, and the other wall is hung with various Peking Opera masks. When I entered the library gate, I still took my "passport" and stamped it first. The aunt who stamped it said, "Is it China's child?" I proudly said, "Yes." Then, I walked into the first exhibition hall, which showed the "information superhighway" in China. There are many computers in the hall, and many German children are learning about China on the "highway". Further inside, a model of China's landing on the moon appeared. An astronaut planted a red flag on the moon surface. In another hall, there is a large model of the Three Gorges Dam and a photo of Pudong New Area in Shanghai, which looks very spectacular. In the corner of the hall, there is a portrait of Li Shizhen that my father told me about, and the Compendium of Materia Medica that he wrote. Dad said, "If you understand this set of books, you can treat people's diseases."

When it was getting dark, I reluctantly left the "Little United Nations" and returned to Berlin by bus. At this time, I took out the "passport" that had been stamped with many chapters and jokingly said to my father, "I have been to more countries than you!"
