Global Celebrity Tan Shibo (Eight)

A lawyer in Sanantonio, Texas, has an outstanding background in the legal, commercial and non-governmental sectors. He is currently a senior consultant at Aijin Gang Po law firm and has worked on several private and non-profit board boards, including joint Pacifi Corp, first solar energy, PMI group, American Development Center and new US alliance. In 2009, he was appointed by the United States Secretary of state Hilllary Clinton as the general representative of the American exhibitors in World Expo, Shanghai.

My hometown, Sanantonio, Texas, held a world exposition in 1968. This event has been included in the history of Sanantonio. Even today, the tower of America is always reminding us that we must not forget the splendor and splendor of that time. In 1980s, the large area of the Expo site was renovated and renovated, so that it could be seen as a beautiful city park and enjoyed by the people of Sanantonio. Perhaps this is the better end result of the cultural heritage. I believe that in 1968, Sanantonio World Expo truly brought a better city and life to its citizens, and we are still blessed today.

Of course, compared with the current preparations in Shanghai, World Expo in Sanantonio is far from being so grand and grand. When my friend Hilllary Clinton asked me to act as the general representative of the American pavilion in World Expo in 2010, I readily agreed. Partly because of the experience of hosting World Expo in my hometown, I know very well how grand the World Expo will create. Another reason is the daughter of the self. She has settled in Shanghai, and I learned from her that Shanghai has developed into a vibrant and colorful city.

World Expo provides unlimited opportunities for people from all over the world to learn and learn from each other. This is also one of the biggest benefits of hosting World Expo. When I returned to the United States, I kept telling everyone around me that they had to visit World Expo, Shanghai in 2010 - a historic event they would not like to miss. All indications are that World Expo will be a complete success. I am also sure that when people come to see the World Expo, they will bring the vivid impression of China and Shanghai to them, and return to the world with a deeper understanding of the magnificent turn of this country and city. We also expect millions of Chinese visitors to come to the US Pavilion and hope that their arrival will deepen their understanding of the United States and the American society and culture.

At the same time, I feel that "Better City, better life" as the theme of World Expo is very appropriate. It provides valuable opportunities for our exchanges in new fields and new technologies. This will help everyone to meet some of the more difficult environmental challenges that we will encounter on the road ahead, so as to take on more. We all love this theme, not only because it creates excellent opportunities for us to highlight the spirit of innovation in the United States, especially in promoting the use of clean energy, and because the United States will also have the opportunity to learn and learn from other countries in the world.

I believe that many years later, foreign friends will come to Shanghai again. They will be impressed by the grandeur of the Chinese Pavilion. They will also recall the World Expo of Shanghai in 2010, and remember the better city and better future we have worked together for.
