Utopia
Harrow International School Beijing, Dong, Ricky - 13
The year is 2084. The sun peeks her head from the skyline and the citizens of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) could
immediately feel the warmth. This area was launched 60 years ago and has steadily developed into one of the
most sought-after places to live on earth, and there are multiple reasons to why that is. The GBA doesn’t have
death, is convenient to live in, and is fun to live in.
First of all, the problem of aging or dying has been solved in the Greater Bay Area. In the GBA, people do not
get older and eventually die. Instead, they can choose to stop aging at a certain point and remain that way as long
as they would like to. For example, a person could choose to stay being 12 years old as a child or grow to 43 and
be a mature adult. People have the freedom of choice. Dying is also not a worry in the GBA, as many
precautions have been taken to ensure the safety of the citizens. In an unlikely and unfortunate case of an
accidental death, the GBA has developed a technology that is able to revive any type of injury known to man.
This, however, is only one of the reasons to why many want to live in the Greater Bay Area.
A second reason that makes the Greater Bay Area very attractive is because of its convenience. Due to the GBA
being next to the sea, it is always very easy for the citizens to access fresh seafood or even go fishing themselves.
Furthermore, because of its connections to China, paying, as well as the express is very fast and straight-forward
as well. All it takes for money transactions in the GBA is a scan of the citizen’s eyes and the deal is done. This
simplifies and secures the process of making a payment, which is what both the buyer and the seller wants. Not
only is paying very quick, though, the express is also very speedy. The technology has become so advanced that
anything from anywhere on earth can be delivered straight to the buyer’s house within 3 days. The convenience
of the Greater Bay Area is also one of its fascinating aspects.
Another reason to why the Greater Bay Area is inviting to many is for its recreational facilities. There are
countless fun and exciting activities to enjoy and explore in the GBA. For example, there is a theme park roller
coaster which holds the world record for both the fastest speed reached by a roller coaster and the longest roller
coaster track. Not just that, but the GBA also has the world’s largest VR stadium where people compete for
prizes. In addition to that, there is also a state-of-the-art hoverboard racetrack where citizens can watch top
athletes ride or even try themselves on days when the facility is open to the public. If the citizens would like
something more relaxing, there is also a very technologically advanced library which holds every single book ever
written. In the GBA, there is also a shopping street full of different brands, a parachute park, a huge Ferris wheel,
and more. This makes the Greater Bay Area an even more enjoyable place to live.
These are all factors which contribute to the Greater Bay Area’s popularity. This area is free of death,
inconvenience, and boredom. They are not the only positives, however. The GBA is getting new facilities added
to it as well, so there’s even more to look forward to! The rest are for you discover yourself!
