On the occasion of the 200-day countdown to the World Expo, Luwan District has released a number of "Expo families", and the Ira family is one of them. When awarding cards to delegates, someone saw Ella with blonde hair and white skin and subconsciously asked, "Foreigners?" Ella was very unhappy when she heard this. She pouted and clarified: "I'm not a foreigner, I'm from Shanghai!" " In Ira's eyes, Ukraine is her hometown and Shanghai is her home. To promote the World Expo in China, Ira said, "This is an unshirkable responsibility." Crossing nationality, Ira explained the spirit of volunteers with actions, and also showed the hospitality of a "new Shanghainese". Yang Xinwei's image ambassador at the entrance of Expo, Luwan Expo, Wuliqiao's "New Expo, New Wuli, New Image" community image ambassador, Luwan's "Expo Family" image ambassador, and family leading the Expo ... I wonder what kind of foreign girls can hold so many titles of Expo ambassadors? From the moment I met Ira, I knew that she was warm and cheerful, full of energy and passion, full of personality and appeal, and versatile. Most importantly, she really loves the land in front of her. As "tour guides" on the Lupu Bridge, many Shanghainese say that the World Expo is a family event and must not be missed. For Ira and Zhang Yibei, the World Expo is a major event in China. Because once out of the community, within 100 meters, it is the World Expo Park. When you board the sightseeing elevator of Lupu Bridge, you can go directly to the top of the bridge and have a panoramic view of the Expo site. Last month, the young couple happened to meet a family of three French tourists on the Lupu Bridge. Seeing that they were worried about not having a tour guide, Ira took the initiative to communicate with the family in English: "This red one is the China Pavilion, and the French Pavilion is being built there." The friendly and enthusiastic Ira surprised French tourists. When they learned that the girl in front of them was still an Expo ambassador, they even volunteered to take a group photo as a souvenir. This little French girl is still clamoring for Ira's autograph. Speaking of her reaction that day, Ira took it for granted. "This seems to be a natural thing. I feel that I am a Shanghainese and I am introducing us to them as a host. " This is not the first time that Ira has naturally appeared as a Shanghainese. One day, Zhang Yibei and Ira came to M-box to listen to music as usual, and foreigners on the stage sang Chinese songs hard. Yilashunkou commented: "Well ... he doesn't speak Chinese well." It seems that as China people, they are judging foreigners' Chinese proficiency. "I'm from China and I'm from Shanghai." According to the heart, this sentence has become her mantra. They want to be ambassadors of the Ukraine Pavilion. At present, they put Expo-related activities in the first place, free of charge. It is obligatory to attend the concert of Star Singing Expo, even if it is only for a few seconds. Participate in the launching ceremony of the national sea election of "Happy Expo, Let's Join the Competition", learn new songs temporarily, and rehearse until 3 am. Participate in community Expo publicity activities, distribute Expo leaflets under the scorching sun, and stop the uncivilized habits of passers-by. ..... For these "voluntary" jobs, the couple have pushed three invitations from foreign TV stations. "It is obligatory to be related to the Expo!" Besides these ambassadorial titles, Ella actually has bigger dreams. "It will be great to be the ambassador of the Ukraine Pavilion." Ira said longingly, "Ukraine is my hometown and Shanghai is my home. How nice it is to be the ambassador of my hometown at home!" Zhang Yibei revealed that they have submitted a written application to the relevant departments. "I don't know how many opportunities there are, but I still have to give it a try." Writing about Expo Qusheng Expo Baby As a popular player in the program "Meet the Expo, Come to the Competition with the Family", Ira and Zhang Yibei have also accumulated many fans. Now, the national auditions for "Come to the Family" have started vigorously, and the couple have started busy preparations again, hoping to bring a refreshing program to the audience. At present, the couple are quietly starting to compose their own Expo songs. Talking about types, Zhang Yibei revealed: "The theme of the Expo must be cheerful, but it must be close to Ira's personality and international. A little close to Wu's idea of a better city for life. " On this side, the reporter is chatting with Zhang Yibei about his Expo songs. On the other hand, Ira, who had just finished the photographer's shooting requirements, began to call her husband: "Beibei, look, Expo baby." Putting Haibao on her stomach, Ira looks sweet and lovely. This can't help but remind reporters that on the stage of "Every household comes to watch the game", when the host asked Ella and Zhang Yibei what their Expo dreams were, Zhang Yibei was still a little shy and embarrassed to speak. Ella grabbed the microphone and announced loudly, "We are going to have an Expo baby!" " Shanghai has a wonderful fate. When I met Ira, she just got up, holding two steamed buns in her hand, and her eyes hung with a smile. "Hello." Warm greetings made the distance between two strangers disappear at once. Before swallowing the steamed stuffed bun in her mouth, Ira couldn't wait to hold the reporter's hand: "Come and see my wedding photo, isn't it beautiful?" On September 27th this year, Ira and Zhang Yibei joined hands to get married. After graduating from Kiev Art Institute, Ira was selected by a performing arts company in Shanghai and became a contract artist. Ella's father is a famous Ukrainian rock singer. Ella died when she was very young. Continuing her father's musical ideal, Ira came to Shanghai alone. I can't speak English or Chinese. For Ira, those days can only be described as "complete blindness". Learn five Chinese songs a week, otherwise, you have to go home. "I don't want it. I like Shanghai. " Ira said.
The journey from Shanghai to Suzhou is over 65,438+0 hours. Ira listened to "the moon represents my heart" again and again. "If you can't pinyin, use Ukrainian pinyin." On the stage, when I am nervous, I still forget the words. Speaking of this, Ira smiled lovely. "There are many leaders in front of me. Laugh when you forget the words, and then go up and shake hands with them. " To put it mildly, it was not easy to spend those days. Luckily, Ira met Zhang Yibei. One is a Ukrainian girl and the other is a Shanghai guy. Seemingly two parallel lines, they don't want to do it, but they seem destined to meet in 2007. April Fool's Day, Xintiandi. "Please give me a chance, don't talk about love that doesn't matter …" A special voice caught Ella's attention. She jumped on the stage and sang the second half with Zhang Yibei. After a song, Ira stayed and became a resident singer of Dongmei, just like Zhang Yibei. Sooner or later, the ambiguous feelings are crazy. "Later, we stopped singing in a bar and I went to hengshan road. She only has one day off every week, but she still insists on coming to see me. " Zhang Yibei said proudly, "I asked her,' Why do you always come here?' She smiled and said, "Come and see you." Of course, if you ask her now, she won't admit it, little girl. She's full of potential. Hearing the scandal in Zhang Yibei, Ella curled her lips and symbolically tapped her husband on the head to show her authority. The story behind is simple and romantic, and two young people who love music gradually come together. It was also during this period that Ira's Chinese advanced by leaps and bounds. Smart people are loved by everyone. Dad Jason first met Ella in a bar in hengshan road. "I just went to see my son that day and saw her skipping over. I heard from my son that there was a little girl with a beautiful white face. That time I saw her, it was true. Her eyes are big, cheerful and enthusiastic. "With my father's approval, Zhang Yibei's hanging heart has been greatly relieved." I was worried that foreign love sounded vigorous, but it is still unknown whether my parents can live it. After all, there are many practical problems. ""bring the little girl back for dinner. "Is Zhang Jiexian openings, romantic relationship continues. On days when there is no performance or training, Chen Xiaoyun, her mother-in-law and Ella will hide in the room and talk for hours. Zhang Yibei will be' bombed' by this pair of mother-in-law. " My mother will tell me the truth of getting along with each other and all her experiences along the way. "Young people like to drink carbonated drinks, and Chen Xiaoyun will earnestly persuade his daughter-in-law:" Carbonated drinks are unhealthy, so we in China are interested in drinking tea and keeping healthy. "What's even more amazing is that the language of communication between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is Shanghai dialect!" I'm training her listening. "Chen Xiaoyun said proudly. In the process of participating in various variety shows and Expo activities as lovers, Ira and Zhang Yibei further confirmed their feelings and decided to spend their lives together. It can be said that the opportunity of the World Expo is also a hotbed of their feelings, which has contributed to this transnational couple. At the wedding, in addition to the white wedding dress, a purple dress is the most eye-catching, and the design of diagonal shoulders makes Ira more beautiful and moving. "This is from Danny" rob ". "Zhang Yibei told reporters. Dany is the host of Zhejiang Satellite TV. After recording several programs, the young couple became friends with Dani. "We were in Dani lounge that day, and it happened that the tailor sent the dress for the next party to Dani for fitting. Ella liked it as soon as she saw it, so she asked Dany to give it to us. "I haven't tried it yet!" Dany didn't like it at first, but after knowing that it was for our wedding, he gave up what he wanted. "A listen to da dani Leon let go, Zhang Yibei quickly put the money on the dresser, lest da dani Leon go back on our word. Smile when you are happy, and don't hide your sad expression when you are sad. He would point to himself on TV and shout, "Pig! Pig! Fat as hell! "It will take 7 hours to sew beads on my husband's old shoes, and then tell him," I lost my old shoes and buy you a new pair. " When I go out to shoot on location, I will suddenly "ouch" and look depressed: "Baby baby, the Expo baby didn't come out." When you see Ira, you will unconsciously want to get close to her, not only because she is frank, frank and natural, but also because she reminds you of the aunt's daughter next door. More importantly, she has a bright smile on her face. Whether you are an old friend or a stranger, smile and say "hello", and the world will be suddenly enlightened. I asked Ira, what was your first impression when you first came to Shanghai? She said, it's beautiful, and then everyone's face looks the same. Maybe it's China people's reserved and shy nature, maybe they are wary of strangers, maybe they are overwhelmed by work ... When fresh faces gradually lose their expressions, a city can't get angry. With the arrival of the World Expo, "smiling etiquette" has been mentioned again. How to polish this city card has attracted more and more attention. In the streets and lanes, things are different, a smile, a kindness, and a quiet change is going on. Smiling, everyone is a beautiful ambassador of Shanghai.
