Abraham Lincoln is one of the most famous presidents ever elected in the United States. He is also one of only two American presidents to ever be assassinated. He was born in 1809 in Kentucky on the Western frontier. He worked hard and was considered a very strong man. He was self-educated and eventually became a lawyer in the country region of Kentucky.
After that, he started his career in politics. He was elected to the Illinois Legislature. Lincoln was very outspoken against slavery. In 1860 his anti-slavery campaign won him the Republican nomination for president. He won the election but the American Civil War commenced shortly after. During the war, Lincoln declared the "Emancipation Proclamation," a speech which introduced the law he is most famous for. It stated that slavery in America was to be abolished; all slaves were to be freed.
After the North was victorious over the Southern states, Lincoln was very happy to finally get to govern his country in relative peace. However, Lincoln's presidency and life would not last much longer. On April 14th, 1865, while attending a play in Washington, D.C., Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back. of the head by John Wilkes Booth.

The town of Shenzhen, just forty kilometers north of Hong Kong, is the world's biggest building site. In 1982, it was a fishing village with two main roads, fields, and a population of 30.000. Now it has a population of 3 million. It is growing at an incredible speed. It is spreading north towards Guangzhou and west towards Macau. The Chinese government hopes that in less than ten years this area will be the biggest city on earth, with a population of 40 million people.
China is changing. It is no longer a country where absolutely everything is owned and controlled by the state. Developers are welcome. The Chinese people seem to welcome dramatic change. They don't worry about losing traditional ways of life because they want the new.
Shenzhen is an astonishing place, like nowhere else on Earth that I have seen. It is a city with no boundaries and no centre. There are new concrete office blocks, factories, and housing blocks as far as the eye can see. Not just dozens of new buildings, nor even hundreds, but thousands. And it is all happening so fast. It takes just six months to design, build, and finish a 60-storey skyscraper.
The new Hopewell Highway from Shenzhen to Guangzhou takes just two hours to do the 123 kilometers. This superhighway will become the main street of a huge new city, as it gets bigger and bigger until the East meets the West, and the countryside in the middle disappears under concrete. There will of course be more and more cars on the road. People don't want bicycles. If you have a car, it means you have made money. So the traffic will be like in Bangkok, where people spend four hours commuting every day. People eat and work in their cars.
Pearl River city very nearly exists. It will probably be the world's First City, the greatest city on earth. It won't be beautiful, but its power, energy, and wealth will be felt in all corners of the world.
