Taiwanese students visit Shanghai Expo

More than 800 students from 16 senior high schools in Taiwan visited the Taiwan Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo Tuesday, with their admission tickets presented to them by Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng.

The Taiwanese students are in Shanghai to take part in a summer camp along with students from senior high schools in the Shanghai area.

Huang Yu-I, principal of the Taipei Municipal Zhongshan Girls High School, who is one of the chief organizers of the summer camp, told CNA that the Taiwanese students visited the China Pavilion before going to the Taiwan Pavilion.

Afterward, she said, some of the Taiwanese students went to the World Expo’s Puxi area, where the Taipei Pavilion is located. The students were then allowed to visit various other exhibition sites of their own choice.

According to Huang, the students are being provided with free meals and accommodation during the camp. Each student was also given World Expo coupons worth 200 Chinese yuan (US$29.50) that can be used for buying food and gifts at the Expo.

Huang said the summer camp, which will include a forum scheduled for July 22, will help broaden the Taiwanese students’ visions and knowledge through one-to-one communications with their Shanghai counterparts.

UK photographer captures minds of Chinese youth

Avril Liu, 22 years old, a post graduate student in Guangxi Province. She says “We are the lost generation. I am ao confused about the world.”

Zhou Liang, 17 years old, a hair stylist student on way to see father who works in another province. He says “In adults eyes I am a bad person in society, but in fact I am a very obedient person”.

Jasmine Li, 20 years old, Student of communication in Guangdong Province. She says “Eager to have a heart wider than the universe”.


Adrian Fisk, who was named one of world’s best photographers by RotoVision Press, recently recorded the minds of China’s youth through his lens over the course of a 12,000-kilometer-journey through the country.

As China’s future, its youth are a subject of great interest to Fisk and he kept thinking, “Who are they and how do they treat their own lives?”

In order to figure out the answer, he traveled in China for 12,000 kilometers and found young Chinese men aged between 16 to 30 years. He gave them a piece of white paper to let them write down anything they wanted, and then he took a photo of them holding the papers.

Fisk’s quotes:

‘Chinese youth do not want confrontation between the West and the East. I can feel that what they want is to be whole.’

‘If you really want to know something, you have to go to that country and know its people.’

‘The communication between Chinese is different from Westerners. If you can’t understand that, you will never really know Chinese people.’

Adrian Fisk was born in the Devon Country in South Britain in 1970 and obtained a diploma in photography from Blackpool and The Fylde College. In five years he moved to London and became a photographer and producer. He was devoted to recording young men in 1990s understanding the social background of counterculture movements. He was praised as one of the best photographers in the world in 2007.

A Night View Of The Stunning National Grand Theater In Beijing

These two photos of Beijing’s New National Grand Theater are from Matt Lee.

这两张图片国家大剧院是Matt Lee拍的

The theater was designed by French architect Paul Andreui and is located on west of the Great Hall of the People. It can seat 6,500 people in three halls.

国家大剧院由法国建筑师Paul Andreu设计,它 位于人民大会堂的西面.它的三个大堂能容纳6500个观众.

Matt said in the picture description that entrance into the theater is under the blue part, so the hallway is underneath the pond

Matt在他图片的描述中提到剧院的入口在图片蓝色的部分下,也就是说进剧院的走廊是在水池下面了

With its unique shell structure and the artificial lake that surrounds it, the theater looks like a lucent peddle on the water.

独特的壳状设计和围绕着的人造湖,剧院就像一个躺在水面上的,发光的鹅卵石.

As you look closely at the beautiful theater, you can even see tiny gleaming “stars” on the roof.

如果你仔细看的话,你会发现剧院外部顶上布满了闪闪发光的小”星星”
