 |
Chen Lijin 62 Shanghai retired worker |
" It's too early to say the city is well-prepared. For example, the ticket price is a little bit high for locals. What about poor families? Can they also join the great event? " |

" Many of my friends living in the northern part of the country still don't know about the event. Perhaps the city should promote the event across the nation so everyone can play his or her role in it."
