The session also told how World Expos have made automobiles part of people's life as well as the story of China's first car through an entertaining short play. Expo 2010 Shanghai introduced China's alternative fuel concept car LEAF, explaining how car and nature could exist in harmony. This outlook was also shared in the class.
