By and by, the French man began to appreciate Chinese heritage.
In awe of meticulousness and diligence of silk weave,
Captivated by humble yet profound virtues of Confucius.
Letters confiscated.
Across walls, messages never received.
Reborn, as rainbow after a thunderstorm,
All started with two sparks, where flames of respect and trust radiate.
Upon the turn of the millennium,
Lies the magnificent Shanghai as an international metropolis
In prosperity, much celebrated.
