Reflections after watching the World Expo

1. On Saturday the 22nd, I made a special trip to Shanghai to visit the World Expo, and returned to Ningbo on Monday. The round trip lasted for 3 days. In fact, I only watched the World Expo for one day and visited more than 20 regional and national pavilions, including the China National Pavilion. . I learned a lot and plan to visit twice more in the next few months.

Impression 1. The World Expo is a condensed big world. One of the slogans of the World Expo is: "The world is in front of you, and we are by your side." In the venue with an area of ??5 square kilometers, more than 200 countries and regions have set up exhibition halls to display the history, culture, science and technology, Urban management and customs, etc., allow ordinary people to see the general appearance, economic strength, science and technology, education level, urban construction and future development of countries around the world without going abroad.

Impression 2. The World Expo is a showcase of national strength. Saudi Arabia has strong economic strength. It spent a huge sum of 1.2 billion to build a national pavilion of Meilun Mobil, which became the second most popular one after the Chinese pavilion. National pavilions; similarly, the national pavilions of the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, etc., which are leading in science and technology, have become the 10 most popular pavilions of this World Expo due to the wonderful things they display. Visiting any of these pavilions requires 3 to 4 queues. Hour.

Impression 3. The World Expo is a mirror. The advanced and backward countries, the poor and the rich countries are clearly visible at a glance. The national pavilions of Western European countries, such as the Netherlands, Iceland, New Zealand and other countries, exhibit science and technology, urban construction, low-carbon environmental protection, and reflect the harmony between man and nature, and man and the environment. There is no doubt that citizens of these developed countries enjoy a high quality of life. Similarly, in backward countries, such as Mongolia, Vietnam, North Korea, Myanmar, etc., most of the exhibitions are handicrafts and religious items, just like the small commodity market in the Town God's Temple. It reflects that these countries, like some underdeveloped areas in mainland my country, have backward production technology, backward urban construction, and people living in poverty.

Impression 4. The World Expo is "communist". I don’t know what Marx’s fantasy of communism looks like? I thought that the Expo Park had first-class architecture, advanced facilities, and advanced technology, plus blooming flowers, laughter, singing and dancing, free public transportation, handsome boys and girls volunteers everywhere, and even the police officers became amiable. If free food and drinks are provided at the World Expo, then "Communism" will really be realized. hehe!

Impression 5. Most of us ordinary people have no chance to visit the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, so go and see the World Expo at your doorstep! If once is not enough, do it twice; if twice is not enough, do it three times; if three times is not enough, do it four times. See it until you are satisfied.

2. A few days ago, we went to Shanghai to visit the World Expo, looking forward to the centenary World Expo. From the bid to host the World Expo to its success, along the way, China has put in hard work and countless efforts, and finally Shanghai has become The city that hosted the World Expo in 2010, with the longing in my heart, I visited the World Expo site as scheduled when I took a one-day trip to experience all the pavilions of various countries. The China Pavilion, the "Crown of the East", is undoubtedly the most eye-catching pavilion in the park. No matter where you stand, you can see it standing tall in the park, looking majestic and majestic, with the Hong Kong and Macao pavilions nestled closely together.

First of all, we came to the Petroleum Museum and watched a 4D movie that made you feel that you can touch everything in the picture, from the emergence of oil to the consequences of humans not having oil. In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the Nepal Pavilion. The front of the pavilion was bustling with people, and the tourists were vying to take photos. It was a great time! The afternoon sun made people lazy, and they didn’t have the strength to go in with the crowd. In fact, there were almost everywhere in the park. They were all visitors. There were countless people waiting in line to enter the China Pavilion. They waited for three and a half hours under the scorching sun before they could enter the pavilion. This time, the China Pavilion stood in red in the park and won the attention of many tourists. Favored, everyone also waited silently with curiosity. The Chinese culture in the museum all reflects the greatness of our people, and various cultures in China are developing rapidly.

I personally watched the people's strength of the People's Liberation Army and the people in the process of earthquake relief after the earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai Province. They struggled to rescue people and goods during the earthquake relief. I deeply understood their disregard for the motherland. We were able to complete any difficulty. Then we went to venues in various provinces and cities to watch Xinjiang’s Muqam song and dance performances. Other venues in Gansu, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other venues reflected the love of the people of all provinces and cities in our country for the motherland. .

Finally, we ended our visit to the World Expo and went to Houtan, the most representative place in Shanghai. We immediately saw the majesty of the Oriental Pearl Tower and the bronze statue of Comrade Chen Yi, the first mayor of Shanghai. , especially listening to the whistles of ships on the Huangpu River, is like welcoming tourists from all over the world with beautiful music. The place with strong ethnic characteristics indeed attracted tourists from all over the world to stop and watch, and also won warm applause from everyone.

3. Impressions of the Shanghai World Expo

On May 17, with reverence, we visited the long-awaited Shanghai World Expo. The weather has been nice these days, cloudy, breezy and cool. There are not too many visitors, so the weather is particularly suitable for sightseeing and sightseeing.

The World Expo venue is located between Nanpu Bridge and Lupu Bridge, and is laid out along both sides of the Huangpu River in urban Shanghai. The planned land area of ??the Expo Park is 5.28 square kilometers. The park is divided into five major venue groups, namely independent pavilion group, joint pavilion group, corporate pavilion group, theme pavilion group and Chinese pavilion group. The Expo Park is divided into two parts: Puxi and Pudong. Puxi is the enterprise pavilion area, and Pudong is the city pavilion and theme pavilion area. 200 countries and regions around the world have built venues. The entire Expo is magnificent, sophisticated and beautiful everywhere, embodying the superb and intelligent creative concepts of designers and builders. The entire Expo was like a feast of delicious food. Every chef tried his best and every dish was beautifully prepared.

On this day we were in a happy mood and had great strength in our legs. *** visited sixteen venues including Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Spain. Looking back on this day, personally, the following points struck me the most:

The first is its profound theme. Every World Expo has its own theme and core concept. The theme of this World Expo is "Better City, Better Life!" I understand that it embodies the following contents: First, the continuation of the city. Humans are social animals. Tens of millions of years ago, our ancestors gathered together and lived in places with abundant water and grass in order to survive, pursue a better life, effectively obtain food, and effectively resist attacks from other animals. , gradually formed towns, so the most basic intention of city formation is for a better life; the second is its pertinence. The development of modern cities has deviated from the original intention of the city. People are getting further and further away from nature, living in reinforced concrete forests, living in the commotion of busy traffic, water problems, environmental problems, traffic problems, etc. etc., plaguing people’s lives and the development of cities. Problems arising in urban construction and development are becoming increasingly apparent, and solutions are urgently needed. The World Expo provides a good platform for finding solutions to these problems. On such a platform, everyone can show their magical powers and show their ability to build cities and The concept of developing a city; the third is its developmental nature. Society must develop and cities must be constructed. In particular, our country is on the fast track of urban development, and the urban population has reached 50%. How to solve the problems in urban development? Making the lives of people in the city better is an issue that requires joint attention and solution.

The second is its sense of innovation. The entire World Expo is an exhibition of new ideas, new concepts, and new culture. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about more profound things. Just the stadium architecture in each country all reflects the sense of innovation. The square and square buildings in the traditional concept no longer exist. Needless to say, the architecture of the China Pavilion is like a silkworm baby. The Spanish Pavilion has a unique appearance wrapped with countless woven rattans. What is even more peculiar is that the appearance of the British Pavilion has a circle composed of countless rays. Balls, each ray contains an endangered plant species, using this method to remind people to cherish life and protect the environment. Each of the venues in other countries is the result of careful design and manufacturing, and they all embody innovative concepts.

The third is its high and new technology. The entire World Expo is a concentrated display of high-tech development in future society. What had a profound impact was a strange performance we watched at the German Pavilion. The performance showcases the latest research results from Germany. In a circular performance venue, there is a ball. The audience shouts different sounds from different directions. As the sound volume is different, the color of the ball is also constantly changing. , what is even more peculiar is that the ball can continue to rotate with the change of sound. It is said that the researchers used a combination of sound, light, and electricity to simulate it. It is so real that it is incredible.

The fourth is its concept of harmony.

The entire Municipal Expo has established the theme of "Better City Makes Life", embodying a harmonious concept as a whole. And put forward three central concepts of harmony, namely "harmony between people, harmony between people and nature, and harmony between history and future." The harmony between man and nature is reflected in the coexistence of "man, city, and nature". Architecture and urban planning experts from Tongji University have made useful attempts in the planning and design of the Expo Park, using green and intelligent building technologies as basic technology platforms. Designers hope that through this attempt, they can obtain a more effective green environment construction model and open up a broader field for the development of green and intelligent building technologies.

The fifth is its management art. The entire Expo's security, transportation, accommodation, dining, etc. are organized and managed in an orderly manner. More than 200,000 visitors flow naturally every day. This alone reflects The high art of a city manager.

This is just a superficial understanding. I think every visitor has his or her own version of the World Expo.
