Cabbages from Colleges
October
31, 2010, the last day of Shanghai Expo, a bunch of “Chinese
Green Cabbages” from Donghua University
leapt in the air jubilantly before China Pavilion where they served as
volunteers.
Little
green cabbage (小白菜) with snow white stems
and juicy green leaves is the most popular vegetable on the
diner tables of Shanghai residents. Since the Expo
volunteers wore a uniform with white
pants and green shirt that made them look
as though cabbages grown in mobile
vegetable plots, and since most of them
are young college students, and since
they were so approachable and helpful to
the expo visitors, just like what the
little green cabbages to the people in
Shanghai - refreshing, nutritious and
easy to get - they are thus dearly dubbed
Little Green Cabbage.
It is reported by
the local media that there were nearly
7000 Cabbages actively serving (not being
served – don’t get it wrong) the
visitors to Shanghai Expo. Towards the
closing time of the show, an extra
service of stamping an iconic image of
volunteer bearing a green cabbage hairdo
- an artwork created by a sweet-heart and
sentimental-mood Cabbage boy or girl - on
visitors' Expo ticket became so popular
that a huge crowd queued up for getting
this uniformed cartoon signature.
A pair of
Shanghai Expo fans from Poland wave large
fans with Chinese writings that read, “The
Wonderful Expo” and “Thanks Shanghai”.

record-breaking
supercomputer newly built
by Chinese and is the
fastest electronic brain
in the world. It is so
powerful that it is
believed to be able to
break into the top secret
related to the programs
of military aggression
and weapons of mass
destructions - like the
ones created by the
Pentagon and Tokyo - thus
it can help defending the
world peace.
