日本正式举办的万国博览会是在1970年的大阪万博。那“太阳之塔”至今仍矗立在千里丘陵上,不断唤起人们对经济高速成长时期节日气氛的回顾。25年前这一重大事件造就了一批醉心于博览会的人,但是25年后他们却难续旧梦。甚至前东京都知事铃木俊一亦对中止的世界都市博览会深深抱憾。 Japan’s official World Expo was held in Osaka in 1970. The “Tower of the Sun” still stands on the thousands of miles of hills. It constantly evokes people’s review of the festive atmosphere during the period of rapid economic growth. Twenty-five years ago, this major event created a group of people who were obsessed with the Expo, but after 25 years they could not continue their old dreams. Even the former Governor of Tokyo, Junichi Suzuki, was deeply regretful about the suspended World City Expo.
