Making full use of the Expo theme "Better city, Better life", the pavilion focuses on the participation of and interaction with the disabled visitors so as for them to further enjoy the Expo experience. It is a window to showcase the civilized progress of Chinese society and the great achievements of human rights protection in China and calls for more efforts to eliminate the discrimination and bias against the disabled people.

The Life and Sun Pavilion set up in the Expo Shanghai aims at disseminating the concepts of "Equality, Participation and Enjoyment" for the disabled people over the world, conveying the humanitarian spirit of "shining the light of care to every disabled person", interpreting the concept of“harmonious city”from the viewpoint of disabled people, and further developing the "Better City, Better Life" Shanghai Expo theme.

The demand for the disabled people was fully taken into account even during the planning phase of the Expo Park. All Expo pavilions will include disabled-access facilities. The organizer will also arrange volunteers to serve disabled visitors.

The pavilion will be built by China Disabled Persons Federation with assistance of Shanghai Disabled Persons Federation, located north of Urbanian Pavilion in Pudong New Area.
