上海：从记忆走向未来

　　Having been living in Shanghai for more than 12 years， I am amazed at the ever-changing phenomenon in the city and often get indulged in ponderation upon her history。The longer I live in Shanghai and the more i learn about her，the more fascinated I become。Notwithstanding the fact that Shanhai as a city is only a little more than 100 years old，it is the epitome of the contemporary Chinese history。It was from Shanghai that modern western civlization rushed into China，it was in Shanghai that the earliest Chinese national industry emerged and the earliest modern commercial bank was established。The founding of the Chinese Communist Party is the most influential that the Party expanded to the whole counrty and founded the People’s Republic of China in 1949。Being the driving power for the Chinese and globai economies，today Shanghai　has grown into an energetic world famous metropolis。
