Better City, Better Life
The 41st World Expo will be held in Shanghai from May 1st to October 31st, 2010. During the world famous event, Shanghai will become a sea of happiness. Shanghai will lead the world to enter and understand China, and make visitors from all over the world fall in love with our beautiful motherland!
Expo 2010 takes “Better City, Better Life” as its theme(主题). More than 240 countries and organizations will take part in the great World Expo.
The mascot of Expo 2010 is Hai Bao. See the picture below? Isn’t he lovely?
During the city tour to New York and Hong Kong in the past several months, Hai Bao has made lots of friends. It is said that the 2010 Shanghai World Expo is expected to draw about 70 million visitors. We’re quite sure that Hai Bao will make more new friends during the coming 184-day Shanghai Expo. When it comes to the emblem(会徽), it is in the shape of three people. The three people stand for you, me, him or her. They are holding hands together. It means people from all over the
world are a big family.
Expo 2010 is walking towards us, waving its hand to the whole world and smiling. There is no doubt that the Chinese people will present to the world a successful Expo!
