sinopsis

Written by a highly observant British missionary after living fifteen years in the country,and first published in 1890 in China, this book presents the social life and personal character traits of the typical Chinese. In spite of the drastic changes in the past 110 years, the patterns of behavior and social mores of the people is probably much the same as when this book was written.
