My thoughts after watching the opening ceremony of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo

I just watched the live TV broadcast of the opening ceremony of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo in China, and I felt very excited.

What impressed me deeply during the entire opening ceremony was that Jean-Pierre Lanfeng, the chairman of the Bureau International des Expositions, a foreigner, spoke in Chinese. Although he spoke Chinese slowly in his speech and his pronunciation was not very clear, it fully demonstrated his respect and recognition of the Chinese people. And the rather complacent expression he showed after saying this "stinky" Chinese made the opening ceremony less rigid and more relaxed. This was witnessed by everyone. , Mr. Lanfeng did a good job in this regard.

In the nearly one-hour indoor performance, the interweaving and blending of styles of various ethnic groups and countries really gave people a unique feeling. Andre's singing and "close contact" with the Chinese little girl were one of the highlights of the party. There is also Lang Lang's collaborative performance with the symphony orchestra, which is also quite shocking. "Star" by Shinji Tanimura is even more wonderful, especially against the backdrop of the stage effects, the blue tranquility, the ripples and ups and downs of the water and the musical notes will make the heart move.

After watching the outdoor Spring River Flower Moon Night Party. The expectations and feelings are still far from what the previous commentator Mr. Bai Yansong sold us. I can only describe the entire fireworks show with words such as "luxury", "shining", and "smoky". It felt like sitting in a movie theater watching "Avatar": the scene was indeed unprecedented and shocking, but it still felt a bit unreal.

What is the significance of the World Expo? At a time when human beings are slowly suffering the consequences of themselves, what is the significance of green? These, these so many fireworks and neon lights, I can't connect it with the meaning of the World's Fair. Is the smoke filling the sky after the fireworks the low-carbon life we ??are now vigorously promoting?

If it only shows China’s strength and prosperity, the Olympic Games would be enough. The key is how to express the other side of China, that is, the delicate side, the side for the world. Like the presentation of the entire evening party today, I think it goes in the same direction. Perhaps it is more of a test for the designers and directors of the party, but the big theme should indeed be like this.

There are no ifs in reality, and life will continue day by day. The slogan of the World Expo is "Better city, Better life", which means "Better city, better life". I think, whether it is the city we live in or our lives, there is no best, only better. This should be our common goal.
