Original

I love to live in Shanghai, because it’s a modern, convenient and active city. There’re various restaurant with worldwide flavors for me to choose. The food express service can be called at anytime when I need. For shopping, we have a lot of malls with brands from High-end to high-street as well as online shopping websites like Taobao on which you can find almost everything. While when my son comes to my life,I realize that living in Shanghai is not that good as I thought. Only few years past after Baby formula scandal, the fake vaccine problem let me feel even more disappointed to government. The air pollution and the food safety problem which matter our daily life are still not be solved completely.
