Speaking of the Shanghai World Expo, I have to mention its mascot-Haibao. The words "simplicity", "fashion", "modernity", "nature", "loveliness", "liveliness" and "lightness" have been really used in Haibao. June 5438+February 18, 2007 The mascot of Shanghai World Expo "Haibao" lit up at 8 pm, and I was deeply attracted by his cuteness and sincerity at first sight. He smiled and showed China's positive, optimistic, healthy and progressive mental outlook. His thumbs up is a sincere invitation and welcome to friends from all over the world. The Chinese character "human" is the core idea, and the main color is the sea blue representing life and vitality. It embodies the concept of "people-oriented". Only when people all over the world support each other, and people live in harmony with nature, society and people, will city life be better and the theme of Shanghai World Expo be deepened. I believe that anyone who sees Haibao will feel the same way with me, and even have the impulse to hold Haibao's hand and watch the World Expo together.
The theme of this World Expo, "Better City, Better Life", puts forward a brand-new concept. With the acceleration of urbanization, more and more people become "city dwellers", and the lives of people outside the city are inevitably affected by urbanization. Only by insisting that "the city can make life better" can we have confidence to meet the wave of urbanization, not lose our way in future life, and have a bright vision and confidence in the future; At the same time, cities need to create conditions for the quality of human life, and also need to create hotbeds for human innovation and creation. Only by answering the question "How can cities make life better" can we truly turn our ideals into reality and make our earth a beautiful home where all people live in harmony. This kind of "beauty" does not appear naturally, and we need to work together from the humanistic level, the urban level and the environmental level. The integration of urban culture, the prosperity of urban economy and the innovation of urban science and technology require the exchange and integration of "people, culture, science and technology and ideas" to build a "harmonious city". The concept of "harmonious city" will run through the whole process of bidding, preparation and hosting the World Expo, which will certainly promote the integration of people, culture, science and technology and ideas around the world.
The development of society and the promotion of urbanization are inseparable from human communication, cultural integration, scientific and technological progress and an open mind. Through the Shanghai World Expo, we will ignite a new spark in the process of "harmonious city" of our civilization in this cultural grand view garden through people-to-people dialogue, cultural integration, scientific and technological exchange and ideological collision.
The theme tube of Shanghai World Expo is only around the theme of "Better City, Better Life", and there are five theme tubes.
It revolves around five themes: city people, city, city planet, footprint and dream, which can be described as follows.
Unique, unique, each venue has its own characteristics, but complement each other, complement each other, and have the same interpretation of the theme of principal and interest.
The concept of "City Man" Pavilion is taken from Aristotle's famous saying: People come to cities to live. People stay in cities to live better. The exhibition in the museum focuses on three kinds of needs, discusses how the city can meet people's needs, shape people's lives and tell the "people's story" in the city; "City Life Museum" embodies a kind of "artificial life", which is based on the natural system and includes complex social, economic and cultural activities. At the same time, the city also has soul and emotion. Take the life course of the city as a whole, dissect the life structure and soul of the city and explore the life potential of the city. "City Planet Pavilion" takes "* * * life" as the main line, revealing the * * * life relationship among human beings, cities and everything on earth, and also revealing the * * * life and * * * win-win relationship among countries and cities in the field of protecting the earth's environment. The bright future of the earth needs the knowledge of all countries and the knowledge of human society. The "Footprints" pavilion introduces the footprints of other countries since human development, so that we can follow the footprints of our predecessors faster, review human history and seek modern development; In the Dream Pavilion, people live for their dreams. In order to look forward to a better life in the future, we should not really think that the earth will be destroyed and the future of mankind will be extremely gloomy because we have arranged a "20 12", but should believe that tomorrow's life is beautiful. Only in this way can we enjoy infinite beauty in today's stressful society.
