The Focus of the Fifth International Conference on Municipal Road- planning,Shanghai鈥擯roblems Involving the Sewage System
Cast of Characters
Li XX:40s,Director of EPA
Richard:40s,editor-in-chief
Chairman of the Conference:60s,tall and stout
Leoh Ming Pei:89,a master of architecture
Road-planning Experts:of different ages,from around the world
SCENE I
Setting:
Director鈥檚 Office,Environmental Protection Agency,Pudong New Area,Shanghai
Time:
July 20,2006
Character:
Li XX,Director recently sworn in,young and competent
Background information:
Little did the new director think that only a week after his inauguration,an ordinary piece of E-mail would make a great difference to him as a civil servant.The following is what was contained in the E-mail.
鈥淒ear Director Lee,
My name is Jenny,an overseas Chinese presently spending her vacation in China.However,while walking along the streets on sweltering summer days,I always smell nasty odor coming from the underground sewers.I have visited a lot of cities and found out this is a common problem,especially in Shanghai.It is really puzzling to me that no attention has been paid to the sewage systems,while a great many roads are being broadened in those cities.Now my question is :can the underground sewage system be built further down?鈥
AT RISE
After reading the message,Director Li thinks for a moment and then calls up Richard,the executive editor of the magazine 鈥淣ew Shanghai.鈥滭br/>The former orders that the latter make a thorough research of the issue and relate it to the international municipal road- planning conference to be held in Shanghai.
Scene II
Setting:
office of the executive editor of the magazine 鈥淣ew Shanghai鈥滭br/>Time:
July 20,2006
Character:
Richard ( formerly majored in landscape design at college but entered on journalism after coming back from overseas studies and ,after years of hard work,was promoted to the seat of the executive editor)
On receiving the director's order,he feels a little confused about what to do though he has served as editor-in-chief for quite a long time.Out of the keen sensitivity of the reporter,he looks through the list of the experts to be present at the conference.Much to his delight,he discovers the name of the world-famous Chinese-American architect,Leoh Ming PEI.Owing to the important discovery,things seem,he is sure,to change for the better.
Scene III
Setting:
Conference Room on the fifth floor of the building housing the Agency of Environmental Protection,Shanghai
Time:
August 23,2006
Characters:
experts in road-planning from around the world
(After a series of insightful discussions)
CHAIRMAN OF THE CONFERENCE
All right.Since all of you have expressed what you had to say,now I am pleased to ask the master of architecture,Mr.Leoh Ming Pei,to share his unique findings with us.
LEOH MING PEI
Ha,ha.Now that you all have presented your research reports,I am not going to repeat your remarks.Instead,I am to focus my personal views on city-planning,and any comment from you is heartily welcome.
First,I maintain that it takes tens of years,even one hundred years,to plan,construct,develop,and mature a city.Similarly,judging from the current situations,it will take a long time for the cities in China to catch up with New York.If we compare the development of New York with that of Shanghai,it is not surprising to see that the city-planning in China leaves much to be desired.More often than not,as soon as a construction project is finished,another is under progress.This way,the later project does some damage to the earlier one.Then it becomes clear that the power supply networks,sewage system,and city roads were poorly arranged.By contrast,the success of New York lies in the simple fact that New Yorkers had done a great deal of admirable preparatory work before their city grew into a metropolitan unit.In fact,the Chinese have a lot to learn from the New Yorkers.What I want to emphasize is that the foreigners made the perfect plan for their city one or two hundred years ago.
Second,we can easily see that a lot of Hollywood鈥檚 popular action films were shot right in the sewage tunnel.That illustrates that their
sewage engineering project was extremely well-planned.Besides,there were many scenes in foreign movies in which the actors ran along the tunnel-like duct for a long period of time.A little while ago,the animation cartoon,鈥淭eenage Mutant Ninja Turtles鈥?was highly popular throughout China,whose heroes lived exactly in the ducts all their lives.This fact explains how much more well-planned foreign sewage systems are.
Thirdly,as for technical matters,I must point out that the sewage system will get clogged sooner or later no matter how deep it is.Sewage water will mix with underground water after it is filtered by soil.However,because of improper flow and damage to pipes,sewage water gets sour.If the fermented water is left alone,the situation will get worse.Where the water is shallower,there is little or no unpleasant odor.That is because the duct is wider at that point and the water flows away rapidly.Let me explain this by giving an example familiar to all of you.Say you have a liking for rib soup.If you leave the soup untouched too long,the delicious soup is sure to go sour.
(All the experts present on the spot are amused by the impressive speech,which is worth the name of 鈥渦niqueness.
CHAIRMAN OF THE CONFERENCE
Right here and now the central discussion of the fifth International Municipal Road-Planning Conference has drawn to a fruitful end.
Scene IV
Setting:
Director鈥檚 Office,Environmental Protection Agency,Pudong New Area
Time:May 1,2008
Character:
Director LI,who has achieved great success after serving as Director of EPA,Pudong for some years
Background:
A short time before the opening of the Beijing Olympics,Li is appointed as Director of Environmental Protection Agency,Beijing.Just at this time,he receives another piece of E-mail,which brings him pleasure beyond description.The message contained therein is as follows.
鈥淒ear Director LI:
Hi.I am Jenny,an overseas Chinese.Several years ago,I came to Shanghai and sent a message to you by E-mail,mentioning the sewage problem.This time when I stroll around your city again,I find that you have done a good job by getting rid of the headaches.I am thankful to you for the efforts you have made...鈥滭br/>Director Li thinks to himself,鈥淐hina has a long way to go and is sure to have a bright tomorrow.I can take a deep breath at last.鈥
