Ymddangosodd Horatio Clare yng Ngŵyl Lenyddol Ryngwladol y Bookworm, yn 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:

Industrial super-revolution! The rush, the cash, the fizz, the flash, rag picker tycoons and the billboards from Blade Runner, twenty-storey faces and brands strobing pallor through black mizzle. That was where I found them. They were dancing a Chinese waltz by the light of Gucci, couples of all ages - though the old are the most notorious. "You don't mess with the old people! They play their music LOUD and they dance together and if you ask them to turn it down they shout at you." It was a world city when my grandparents danced here in the 1930s. It is more world than city now. The name means fish trap: twenty-two million willing, thrusting fishes! That is Shanghai.
