This city! “Too many people. Too many cars. You can not breathe,” says the old man. And this speed everywhere. The magnetic levitation! 431 kilometers per hour fast. The freeway! Eight lanes through the city. The houses, which grow to the sky and cover your daily life with dust. The underground…
…, where they jostle you at the counter before you pick your change. The buses, which you’ll never make, if you’re not trying to be the first to be inside. The pedestrian traffic lights, showing countdown which makes every old man rushing the street, and still, halfway, you’re surrounded by all kind of motors.
“But he can feel the new life around, says the old man. Oh, if he was only young! With spring-song voice he calls out his message: ”Tell those long-nosed foreigners, they should come, you have to move to Shanghai, you will not regret. You must.“”
