On December 3,2002，the Bureau of International Expositions(or call it BIE) announced that Shanghai will host Expo 2010.The BIE had received bids from five cities to host Expo 2010.Among the 5 nice cities，the BIE chose Shanghai at last！It's really an exciting news for not only Shanghainese，but also all of Chinese people.

　　The Expo Site lies along both sides of the Huangpu River.There are many countries' and regions' theme pavilions，among which China's pavilion is called the Crown of the East.Brazil will decorate its Expo pavilion like a green “Bird's Nest”，the nickname for the National Stadium in Beijing that hosted the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games，with the theme “Pulsing Cities：Feel the Life of Brazilian Cities.” The USA Pavilion will showcase sustainability，teamwork，health，struggle and achievements.Russia will decorate its pavilion for the 2010 World Expo like a fairy­tale world，showing a comfortable city as seen through children's eyes.They pavilion theme is “New Russia：city and citizen.”

　　Look at its profiles carefully.The title is “The 2010 World Exposition，Shanghai，China”．And the theme is “better city，better life.” OK，let's guess who is the image representative？Yeah，you're right，Yao Ming!

　　This is the emblem.The emblem，depicting the image of three people—you，me，him/her holding hands together，symbolizes the big family of mankind.Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世”(meaning the world)，the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which showcases the diversified urban cultures of the world.
