1．"Such is the Wodd Expo！"This remark demonstrates the constantly deepened understanding of the Expo by Chinese people over the past six years．
Before that．Chinese people had learnt a lot about the Worid Expo．It is known to all that China's liquor Mao－tai won the Golden Prize at Panama．Pacific Intemational Exposition fExpo 1915 Panama)．and became famous since than．In 1904，Saint Louis World’s Fair (Expo 1904 Saint Louis)witnessed the official debut on the presence of the Chinese government on the stage of the World ExD0．The People’s Republic of China first displayed its exhibits at 1982 Knoxville Intemational Energy Exposition(Expo 1982 Knoxville)．
In 2002，the news from Xinhua News Agency said that Xu Rongcun，a Shanghai merchant，brought his Yung Kee silkto the 1851 Great Exhibition ofthe Works ofIndustrv ofAU Nations(EXpo 1851 London)． This had connected China with the World Expo 16 years earlier than the previously acknowledged time． In 1999．the successful International Horticultural Exposition hosted by Kunming had ellabled Chinese people with the basic understanding on Expo by personal experiencing a real Expo．However，the profound understanding on the Expo started six years ago fight after China succeeded in bidding for the Expo 2010 (Expo 2010 Shanghai)．
In the past six years．our understanding on World Expo no longer stayed on one or two interesting antidotes，but became more systematic and deeper．
In the first place．the World Expo is a form of display．In addition to showing the facilities required by human civilizations，each Expo focuses on its specific theme to showcase human being’s progress， development and prospects．Amidst the omnipresent challenges，human beings opt to face them with the innovative spirit-creating new things through scientific methods，exploring mysteries of human history．nature and the whole universe．It is such an innovation that helps human beings to fight against the challenges．The World Expo exactly sticks to the theme of human development，which is demonstrated by the achievements on economy，science and technology of the industrialized period，the pursuit of artistic achievements and architectural stvle．as well as concerns on the relationship between the social development and the nature．That is why we say the World Expo guides us to recall the past．face the present and embrace the future．
