Ymddangosodd Horatio Clare yng Ngŵyl Lenyddol Ryngwladol y Bookworm, Beijing fis Mawrth. Mewn cyfres o bedwar cerdyn post a gyhoeddir ar ein gwefan yr wythnos hon, mae'r awdur yn rhannu ei argraffiadau yn dilyn ei ymweliad:

"You have to see the Pandas," everyone said. We went. Pandas are fine phone-filler and beguiling toys but it was the signage around them I will remember. "All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful," hymned a big green hoarding, and caught itself. Cecil Francis Alexander, it signed off, shortly. So you remember the writer and forget his conclusion: "The Lord God made them all" - unless you sang the verse, years ago, in an old dispensation. When you land the first thing you do is get a VPN (a Virtual Private Network) so your phone can talk to the old world beyond the firewalls, while you consider the virtual nature of privacy. Bytes of the life you left come through in snatches, echoes from the past. That is Chengdu.
