The opening ceremony of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo was held at 8:10p.m. on April 30th. The Expo
is first hosted by a developing country. It is also the first time that cities participate (参加)in a World Expo
independently. A total of 14 cities around the world have their own pavilions (展馆). Shenzhen is one of the
cities and it has taken the chance to show ideas of city development.
Shenzhen's pavilion costs 30 million yuan. It is a two-floor project. Shenzhen shows films, photos, 16
paintings by Dafen artists, and multimedia installations (多媒体设施) in its pavilion. All these tell the story
of Dafen Oil Painting Village from a small village into an art industry base. Visitors to the pavilion are
welcomed by 12 young volunteers from Shenzhen. They can speak both English and Chinese very well.
The volunteers receive thousands of visitors each day.
One of the walls in the Shenzhen pavilion is decorated with thousands of postcards. Visitors can write
down their dreams and wishes on the cards. Visitors are all interested in the exhibition. A Shanghai visitor
wrote, "Through the changes of Dafen Village, I feel the city's energy and see the hope of our country."
