I brought H along to the exhibition in Shanghai. I was starting to feel ready to close this chapter.
From Xuhui District, it was about 40 minutes by subway to Century Park. We arrived at the exhibition venue worn out from the journey.
There’s a reason Shanghai is called the Magic City. It has a kind of spell that makes you want to stay, immersed in the glamour of its old cosmopolitan world.
How many years had I been in China now? I didn’t want to think about it anymore. (Shakes head.)
Say what you like about Shanghai’s appeal and potential. I just wanted to go home.
