2025-04-24   

The 2025 Osaka Kansai World Expo (Osaka Expo) has officially opened, with the China Pavilion making a stunning appearance and attracting a continuous stream of visitors. Overseas visitors believe that the China Pavilion is a window for a deeper understanding and appreciation of modern China. Here, people can more intuitively feel the charm of Chinese civilization and see a modern China where humans and nature coexist harmoniously. On the day of the opening of the China Pavilion on April 13th, it rained heavily in Osaka, but the enthusiasm of visitors did not diminish, and the front of the pavilion was crowded with people. I heard that the China Pavilion will open at 1 pm, so I came to queue up. I have been looking forward to visiting, "said Hiroshi Imaki, a visitor who waited in line for about 40 minutes before entering the pavilion. He and his wife, Rie Imaki, visited the park on the day of the World Expo examination. I noticed at that time that the exterior of the China Pavilion building was very imposing, and I thought I must come and take a look, "said Rie Imaki. The China Pavilion covers an area of approximately 3500 square meters and is one of the largest foreign self built pavilions at this World Expo. The appearance of the China Pavilion resembles a continuous unfolding of Chinese calligraphy slips, with over a hundred famous poems and verses engraved in various fonts on the exterior walls. Chinese calligraphy and writing are very charming, and I think the appearance of the exhibition hall reflects this charm very well, "said Hiroshi Imaki. Entering the first floor exhibition hall, a large multimedia dynamic image disc with the theme of "24 solar terms" comes into view. The Earth moves around the Sun, welcoming different lighting and temperatures. The ancient Chinese accurately discovered the patterns and identified 24 key change nodes. The disc vividly displays these 24 changing nodes in the form of animation, interpreting the Chinese wisdom of the unity of heaven and man, and the way of nature to visitors. The wisdom of ancient Chinese people is admirable, and modern Chinese technology is admirable. One of the most eye-catching exhibits in the China Pavilion is the soil samples collected from the front and back of the moon by China's Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6 missions. I have always been looking forward to seeing the soil on the far side of the moon, and I am really happy to see it with my own eyes this time Japanese visitor Moriyama Hanacai said. After visiting the China Pavilion, the President of the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations, Yaha Shikura, said, "The concept of coexistence between humans and nature, the long history, and the outlook for the future showcased in the China Pavilion make it a moving venue. I really want to spend a whole day here with my family again." "Seeing a More Modern China" The theme of this World Expo is "Imagining a Vibrant Future Society," with 158 countries and regions and 7 international organizations participating. Each pavilion showcases its unique culture and ideas for the future society through exhibitions and multimedia technology around themes such as "life" and "cycle. The theme of the China Pavilion is "Building a Community of Life between Humans and Nature - A Future Society of Green Development", presenting visitors with a beautiful China with green mountains and clear waters and a reverence for nature, and looking forward to a future society of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. On the first floor exhibition hall, the pleasant ecology of Xiamen's Dongdang Lake, the vibrant vitality of Hunan's Shibadong Village, and the ecological restoration of the Taklamakan Desert tell the world stories of "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver", showcasing China's contemporary ecological governance wisdom and green development concept. China's technological development is advancing rapidly, but what remains unchanged is China's determination and perseverance to adhere to green development. In the second floor exhibition hall, the "Eight Network Integration" smart city sand table depicts a future urban green development landscape. The sand table takes a coastal city as a case study, extracting different functions of the city into energy network, transportation network, digital network, water network, ecological network, industrial network, health network, and cultural network, and integrating urban information data through artificial intelligence to achieve precise analysis, overall judgment, and collaborative command of the city, showcasing an innovative, green, digital intelligent, and integrated city to visitors. What impressed me the most here, whether it's zero carbon buildings or future cities, I saw China's achievements in this area Japanese visitor Yoshioka exclaimed after visiting multiple exhibition halls. China's vision and outlook for future cities also left a deep impression on visitors from Spain, Herma Fernandez Miras: "I saw a more modern China than I had ever imagined before." Dimitri Kelkenzes, Secretary General of the International Exhibition Bureau, said that the China Pavilion leads visitors to understand how China has developed and adapted in its thousands of years of history, and how it can provide the best services for future society. The content and concept it presents are highly compatible with the theme of this World Expo. Gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of China and Japan as close neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water, with a long and rich history of exchanges between the two countries, leaving behind many stories of friendly exchanges. On the way from the China Pavilion to the second floor exhibition hall, there is a long corridor called "Green Mountain and Bright Moon". On one side of the corridor is a dynamic ink painting, and on the other side is a wooden carving art piece that reviews the friendly exchanges between China and Japan. The friendship between the Japanese envoy to Tang, Abe Nakamaru, and the Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai; The first batch of Chinese giant pandas "Kangkang" and "Lanlan" visiting Ueno Zoo in Tokyo sparked a "panda craze"; China's assistance in rescuing the crested ibis population in Japan has become an example of ecological conservation cooperation; The famous animated characters of Sun Wukong and Astro Boy from China and Japan walk side by side... Important figures and precious memories related to friendly exchanges between China and Japan are vividly depicted in wood carvings, demonstrating China's approach of trust, harmony, and friendly neighborly relations. Japan and China have a history of over a thousand years. Japan once sent envoys and others to China, which had advanced technology and culture at that time, to study and bring back what they had learned to Japan. Nowadays, I believe it is necessary for us to review that period of history and deepen our understanding of China in the China Pavilion Masayoshi Matsumoto, Vice President of the Japan Expo Association and President of the Kansai Economic Federation, said. Masayoshi Matsumoto stated that the China Pavilion fully showcases the charm of Chinese style and culture. For Japanese people, visiting the China Pavilion is an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of China. Civilization exchange and mutual learning are important driving forces for promoting human civilization progress and world peace and development. The exterior walls of the China Pavilion are engraved with numerous famous Chinese classic poems and verses, one of which is "A single flower blooming alone is not spring, a hundred flowers blooming together fill the garden with spring". We live on the same Earth, and we must find a way to cooperate to address the major challenges that humanity will face in the future Kelvin Kenzes said, "The China Pavilion showcases to the world how China views the future and the concept of looking forward to working together with all parties to create a better future. This is the significance of the content displayed in the China Pavilion
