C BEIJING, Sep. 10 (Xinhua) The extralarge model baby in the Spain Pavilion(館) was “ conceived”(構思) by a Spanish filmmaker, Shi Yingying reports. Visitors admiring the giant baby, Miguelin, in the Spain Pavilion may be surprised to realize that it was not the concept of a famous designer or a group of groundbreaking engineers. It came from one filmmaker’ s interpretation of the meaning of “ Better City, Better Life” . Spanish director Isabel Coixet developed the idea after being asked to contribute to Expo 2021 Shanghai. “ They asked me to do something to tell the Chinese audience about Spain in the future and the first thing jumping to my mind was a baby,” said Coixet. “ If we really fight to have better cars, better cities and better lives, it’ s for them for our children.” Despite her Spanish heritage, Coixet doesn’ t focus on making Spanish films or using Spain as the setting. Fans of her various awardwinning films, including My Life Without Me, The Secret Life of Words and Elegy, may not even be aware of Coixet’s Spanish background. “ The borders between countries are just illusion(假象) ,” said Coixet. “ Some directors feel really fortable telling stories that belong to their territory.” But Coixt feels the opposite: “ I39。s Kalimantan.

B The little country schoolhouse was heated by an oldfashioned, potbellied coal stove. A little boy had the job of ing to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived. One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse in flames. They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. From his bed the burned, semiconscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother her son would surely die for the terrible fire had seriously damaged the lower half of his body. But the brave boy made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the mortal danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that it would almost be better if he had died, since he was doomed to be a lifetime cripple(殘廢) with no use at all of his lower limbs. Once more the brave boy made up his mind.

At last he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage (按摩 )his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever. When he wasn39。s already rich catalog of fauna(動物群 ), local media reported on Friday.
