"We want to interview the pilot.

World Expo

People, arrange next week? "This is a dialogue between Linfen Street staff in Zhabei District and reporters.

It turned out that with the approaching of the Expo, the popularity of the "quasi Expo family" as a Chinese "homestay" has surged.

And many families are ready for their preparations.

8 day old hand embroidered "

Tiger head shoes

Apply

Among the 17 family members who have signed up for the Expo, the 82 year old Liu Apo family is the most distinctive. The senior citizens not only apply for themselves to participate in the Expo, but also have the skills of making tiger shoes.

Liu Apo had long thought of it as a gift to his family's foreign friends.

Liu Apo usually likes to do tiger shoes. It has been more than 60 years since he inherited this skill from his mother and sister. She never thought that he could do a good job for World Expo in his old age and make a commitment to the cultural exchange between China and foreign countries.

"The most expensive work is eyes and eyebrows. I usually do nothing. It takes half a day to embroider eyebrows and eyebrows."

When she first came to Liu Apo's house, she took out a few boxes of "tiger shoes" that had been completed, and the reporters roughly counted 40 large and small ones.

In the living room of Liu Apo's house, she has the most valuable work -- 8.8 inch tiger shoe.

Street staff told reporters that this is specially designed for the countdown to the World Expo. Liu Apo was "working day and night" for more than two weeks before the completion.

"Now I am making a bigger tiger shoe. I want to do it well before I start in World Expo, and put 8.8 inches in the new one, then turn it into a double deck, then put Shanghai Bao and World Expo flag."

When it comes to making tiger shoes and World Expo wishes, Liu Apo is always pouring out.

The side of the shoe with "2010" embroidered with Phnom Penh has been formed, but the daughter also said that the design is not fashionable.

Liu Apo, however, was unwilling to decide to keep improving and improving.

"Shoes are made of fabrics that are not used at ordinary times. We can make them environmentally friendly."

Community groups make shoes for foreign friends.

Now Liu Apo does not only make tiger shoes, but also teach tiger shoes to make tiger shoes every Monday. Now there are sixteen or seven members in the group.

Every Monday is the day for everyone to hand in homework, so that Liu Apo can give directions.

Reporters interviewed on the same day, Liu Apo is teaching everyone a "road and road" embroidery.

Originally, the embroidery and sewing patterns of sole must be "one needle to the end", which shows more skills and skills.

Speaking of the Expo reception, Liu Apo is full of confidence. Although his foreign language is not good enough, 4 children and third generations still have many foreign students. English, French and German are hard to overcome.

In order to become an Expo family, Liu Apo also studied English with everyone and learned how to grow flowers.

"The conditions at home are all up to the requirements. Besides, the streets and neighborhood committees have matching household products and cleaning supplies."

The house of three rooms and two rooms of Liu's home has independent bathroom facilities, clean and spacious, which is very similar to some foreign housing with "homestay" conditions.

"Quasi Expo family" like Liu Apo is not a few. As the Expo approaches, preparations have been implemented early.

But during the same period, it is similar to the Linfen community, which makes the Expo family form a concept of "Expo Village".

"Many things we have gathered together to discuss, the village head lives in our downstairs, and there is a special Expo Service Center in the community, which has been done for us."

Liu Apo is very satisfied with being able to work together.

"Expo year is just the year of tiger. I make tiger shoes for foreign friends. I wish them good luck."

Liu Apo walked away from reporters with a smile and continued to be busy with the world's tiger shoes.
