Shanghai Odyssey
by Homer Sykes

As Shanghai enters the twenty-first century, this most dynamic of Chinese cities looks back over a decade of phenomenal growth. A new city has sprung up across the Huangpu river in Pudong, a focus for foreign investment and futuristic architecture. Yet on the Bund the city’s past is still very much in evidence, while in the crowded streets and shopping malls there is an unabashed enthusiasm for consumerism and a great capacity to enjoy whatever life has to offer. In Shanghai, everyone dreams of making a fortune, or at least of a better life.

Homer Sykes has travelled widely on assignment throughout the world. Shanghai Odyssey is sponsored by the Grimstone Foundation, a family based, UK charity. Its objectives include providing educational support to young people in China and elsewhere.
