Destination Shanghai
For the privileged a cosmopolitan pleasure ground;
For the desperate a port of last resort.
A pot of gold at the end of an Oriental rainbow;
A thick slice of hell denounced from the pulpit.
The start of a journey for many;
The end of the road for some.
A place to find fame, or to seek anonymity;
Rogues, chancers, showgirls, criminals…
For so many people from so many lands, there was one phrase that sent a tingle of hope or a shiver of anticipation down every spine:
“DESTINATION SHANGHAIâ€
