[Commentary] On June 28th, some foreign guests and Chinese and foreign media from Baijirong’s media product "A Hundred Years Party: Foreigners Telling Stories" visited the CCP Memorial Hall and other places, and held a dialogue with foreign friends at the beginning of the original heart. "Meeting", to share the experience of the visit and the "Shanghai Story" in the eyes of foreign friends.

  "This is Xiaonanmen, I live here; over there, now is where I work." Corris from Belgium is the executive general manager of the inbound business of an international travel agency.

In the Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Koresi excitedly pointed to the miniature model of the city of Shanghai, and familiarly distinguished the area where he currently lives and works.

  Shanghai is also a testimony of New China. The changes here are so great. When I first came to Shanghai in 1990, I was standing on the Bund and looking at the dark buildings in the old buildings. There was really no atmosphere at that time, and then I looked across. Nothing at all.

Now 30 years from now, including how good the atmosphere is on the Bund, there is no need to talk about Pudong, the second tallest building in the world, right?

  [Explanation] In the eyes of "foreigners", the development of Shanghai and even China goes far beyond infrastructure.

  Bethven, from Hungary, has a keen interest in culture and museums since he was a child.

In 2005, Bethven came to Shanghai to promote cultural exchanges between China and Europe.

He said that China is experiencing rapid development, including the cultural and blog industry where he works.

  Many new museums, new science and technology museums, and art galleries are newly opened, and they all need some advanced technology to improve their interactivity.

Then the "Magic Wall" technology we invented can make cultural relics "live" and interact.

  [Explanation] For Bethven, Shanghai is the "starting station" for his entrepreneurship.

  Development has always been continuous, but it has indeed accelerated in recent years.

It is more convenient for foreigners to come to Shanghai to start a business, and then spread from Shanghai to other places.

  [Explanation] For many "foreigners", everything they have experienced with Shanghai has made them regard this place as "the second hometown", and their relationship with Shanghai has grown deeper.

  [Concurrent] Belgian friend Koris

  I have learned Chinese language, history, culture, economy, and art, so I am really interested in and understand the history of Shanghai.

I like Shanghai, because Shanghai "grows up" very fast, and "grows up", the Pearl of the Orient, right? I still give Shanghai a compliment.
