Old Shanghai
Regents Primary School of Shenzhen, Yang, Lucy - 9
Oh, the old Shanghai
I want to explore
Because……
I want to see
The Paramount
The Shi Ku Men
And the jinrikisha
I want to listen to
The decadent music
The Shanghai dialect
And languages from all over the world
I want to buy
The cheongsam
The osmanthus cake
And the Baiqueling cream
I want to feel
The city that never sleeps
The gathering merchants
And people of all sorts of skin colour
I want to fly
to my beloved old Shanghai
Through the time machine
to enjoy all of this
I love everything of old Shanghai
