World Celebrities Talk About Expo (Twenty-One)

Wang Meng was born in Beijing in 1934.

From 1983 to 1986, he was editor in chief of people's literature.

He was elected member of the CPC Central Committee in 1986 and served as vice chairman and Secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Writers Association.

In June of the same year, he was Minister of culture and resigned in 1990.

The ten CPPCC National Committee member.

It has a series of famous works such as the long live the youth, the short story "a young man from the Organization Department" and so on.

The works were plated into English, Russian, Japanese and many other languages.

He was nominated for the Nobel prize in literature.

There are some theories that are not interesting, such as going to the world.

Since reform and opening up, this view is very popular.

But when did China go out of the world?

Is it possible to get out of the world?

Then the situation seems to be that there is no problem between China and the world.

2008 the slogan of the Olympic Games is reassuring, one world, one dream. It shows that China is building a more positive relationship with the world.

No, we have too much discord and shame in our memory of the world. Too many experiences are more suitable for nightmares.

Different, after all, different, more than 100 years past, more than sixty years in the past, now can finally be clearer, bigger and more generous to the world and invite the world to us.

Following the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, World Expo, Shanghai, in 2010, is coming to Shanghai and China, and is being cheered by Shanghai and China.

We can see the condensation of Chinese place names on the city map of Shanghai.

In the northeast corner, you can read Fuxin, Songhua River, Sujiatun, and Guilin Road and so on.

By 2010, the names of countries and many important cities will also appear in World Expo, Shanghai - that will be a world gathering.

Since its opening in 1843, Shanghai has absorbed and embraced various cultures.

She is a large water and land wharf that meets the East and the west, and is also a melting pot of Chinese and Western cultures.

The word "civilization" in many western texts is said to originate from Latin "Civitas" (meaning "city"), perhaps not by accident.

The characteristics of urban eclecticism, inclusiveness, concentration and concentration, continuous exchange, collision and renewal have greatly promoted the development of human society.

To this end, the slogan of "Better City, better life" presented by Shanghai Expo is, in my view, a human experience and a human aspiration, and a vision for the future.

After being opened by the powerful gunboats, there was a period of time, and not only in China, but also in the imagination and experience of many people in the third world.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of economy, people's urban life is also facing a series of challenges: high-density urban lifestyle leads to space conflict, cultural friction, resource shortage and environmental pollution.

I hope that World Expo will take all the problems exposed in the development and attach importance to it, together with the vision of the future, and provide a platform for thinking.

As stated in the Istanbul declaration issued by the UN Habitat in 1996, "our city must be a place where human beings can live a dignified, healthy, safe, happy and hopeful life."

Harmonious and warm.

Chinese culture values interpersonal harmony, harmony between man and nature, harmony between body and mind.

At the same time, "harmony" has also been seen in the ideals of Western sages.

For hundreds of years, people have never stopped discussing the mode of "harmonious city".

From "Utopia" to "ideal city" in eighteenth Century and then to "pastoral city", a series of theories, propositions and models are exploring how to establish the balance and harmony of the city in space, order, spiritual life and material.

The World Expo of Shanghai in 2010 should provide new inspiration and perspective for such a discussion.

There are many goals that may not be achieved immediately, but that is better than without goals.

We love and engage in literary activities, accustomed to pastoral songs to sing our earth and human life, but also like to have the opportunity to scold the crowded buildings, busy cities, but also for the rural countryside is compressed and sad from time to time.

Such a pastoral song and Elegy will certainly continue to sing. At the same time, we can learn to compose a new urban symphony. We are not afraid of noise. We should not be afraid to face the curse. Our symphony should help the city create its own human ideal, find its romance, experience and convey the new concerns and expectations of mankind.

Those cities that once dazzled us, London, New York, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Tokyo and Berlin, Mumbai and Calcutta, Cairo and Istanbul, Rio De Janeiro and Rio De Janeiro are coming to China. They are coming to China.
