Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreigner in China Questions into which politics enter are usually discussed with so much partizan feeling in this country as to afford the people very little trustworthy information. Of this character are the discussions of the merits Of presidential candidates, of the policy of protecting native industries, and notably of the duty of our government toward the Chinese who come to our shores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreigner in Far Cathay This little book does not pretend to the importance of a work on China. Its aim is simply to enlighten the home public as to the actual circumstances in which residents in that remote region find themselves, and to supply a few scraps of information, part of it new, and part of it hitherto misapprehended, respecting the Chinese themselves. Existing relations between China and the leading Western powers are inevitably tending towards results, the importance of which to both sides cannot be exaggerated, and I shall consider myself fortunate if the few words, which I have herein ventured, should lead to a better understanding in England of our true position and interests in "Far Cathay."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Trade of China Much has been written about China, but seldom, if ever, from the Chinese point of view. Most of the books given to us by foreign writers have not done the Chinese justice. They generally describe the activities of the foreigner in China in his own terms and solely from his own stand point, and are designed primarily to justify the policy of some power in that country. As to the impression pro duced by those activities upon the Chinese themselves, we are left perfectly in the dark. They tell us that China ought to do this, and that China ought to do that, not for her own benefit, but in order to promote the interest and profit Of the foreigner. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that all the authors have been intentionally unfair, for in some cases the prejudice has been due to the inability to see more than one side of the medal. However, what has been done has been done not the less effectively. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People of China: Their Country, History, Life, Ideas, and Relations With the Foreigner Loess and Rivers - All China, like Gaul, is divided into three parts. They are - Mountainous Country (say, half), Hilly Country, and the Great Plain (about 700 miles in length and from 150 miles to 500 miles in breadth, stretching between Peking and the mouth of the Yangtsze, an area as great and as densely populated as the plain of Bengal drained by the Ganges). A quarter of a million square miles Of the country are covered with loess, a strange fine, friable, yellow earth (hence, possibly, the Yellow often reaching to a great depth, and so rich as to need little or no manure. All precious stones and minerals are believed to be found within the Empire - part of the Yangtsze is called the River of Golden Sand, and coal, which exists in every Province, usually near iron, is so plentiful in Shansi alone that the world's supply could be taken from it for 3000 years No country can compare with the land of great rivers (and many canals and ferries) for natural facilities for inland naviga tion 31 it has been said, indeed, that there are more boats in China than in all the rest of the earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese Boy and Girl NO thorough study of Chinese child life can be made until the wall of Chinese exclusiveness is broken down and the homes of the East are thrown open to the people of the West. Glimpses of that life however, are available, suffi cient in number and character to give a fairly good idea of what it must be. The playground is by no means always hidden, least of all when it is the street. The Chinese nurse brings her Chinese rhymes, stories and games into the foreigner's home for the amusement of its little ones. Chinese kindergarten methods and appliances have no superior in their ingenuity and their ability to interest, as well as instruct. In the matter of travelling shows and jugglers also, no country is better supplied, and these are chieﬂy for the entertainment of the little ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only decades ago, the population of Guangzhou was almost wholly Chinese. Today, it is a truly global city, a place where people from around the world go to make new lives, find themselves, or further their careers. A large number of these migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods—often knockoffs or copies of high-end branded items—to send back to their home countries. In The World in Guangzhou, Gordon Mathews explores the question of how the city became a center of “low-end globalization” and shows what we can learn from that experience about similar transformations elsewhere in the world. Through detailed ethnographic portraits, Mathews reveals a world of globalization based on informality, reputation, and trust rather than on formal contracts. How, he asks, can such informal relationships emerge between two groups—Chinese and sub-Saharan Africans—that don't share a common language, culture, or religion? And what happens when Africans move beyond their status as temporary residents and begin to put down roots and establish families? Full of unforgettable characters, The World in Guangzhou presents a compelling account of globalization at ground level and offers a look into the future of urban life as transnational connections continue to remake cities around the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People of China: Their Country, History, Life, Ideas, and Relations With the Foreigner This little Handbook is published at a lower price than has yet been ventured upon in any publication of a comprehensive character about China. Its object is to supply, in as compact and interesting a form as possible, the kind of information about the Country and its Peoples, and their Relations with the Foreigner, which an intelligent newspaper reader would be likely to seek from a friend who had lived in the Far East. What does China look like? (the inquirer would ask). If one found oneself in a field or on a river boat or in a street or house, what would one see? How do the Chinese strike the Foreigner? Is a Mongol a Chinaman or a Manchu, or only a Mongol? As to the long eventful History of the Oldest Nation in the World - which looks so very dry - cannot some flesh be pit on it bones? How do we do Westerns appear in Chinese eyes? What is the truth about Opium traffic and habit? What does one Chinaman say to another about Relations between Europeans, the War that have been waged with them, the vexed Missionary Problem, Treaty Ports, Spheres of Influence and Open Door? The Chinaman's Way of Government, Customs and Prejudice, his Ideas, Character, and Religions - there have been many statements and generalisations on these heads, but does he accept the as true? Can his point of view, which seems so difficult to reach, be approached by calling to mind of the facts of our own social, moral, and political development?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Should the Chinese Go?: A Pertinent Inquiry From a Mandarin High in Authority If this be true - and I believe I can demonstrate it even to your satisfaction - the truth is an important one. It concerns every element of the future social life of California; it lies at the basis of your industries; it is bound to subvert that demagogism by which your politics, as you call it, have been degraded to a level scarcely higher than incendiarism, pillage and murder. Before I begin, let me describe the spirit in which I propose to discuss this subject. In the first place I intend to be just; to differ fiom you honestly; to be inﬂuenced by neither prejudice, hatred nor resentment; to employ no specious arguments; to set up no weak Issue, the easier to demolish it; to employ respectful language; to advance no facts which are not either well known to history or established in the course of the discussion itself. Clothed in this dignity of discourse, I enter the lists without fear. I am upon your soil; I am surrounded at the best by unsympathetic spectators; my only buckler is the truth; my only weapon you1 language, the peculiarities of which can never be wholly mastered by a foreigner. Far from complaining of any disadvantage in these respects, I am free to own that no soil is freer, no assemblage more noble, no regulations more just than those which claim the proud title of American. And now let the heralds be heard and my grievance stated. Hear, oh, ye just and valiant men, ye beauteous and compassionate women, the plaint of Kwang Chang Ling, a literate of the first class, a warrior and noble, a leader of the Chinese and a representa tive by authority.
