Between them the other nations of 'the world fill in, each with its own manners and customs. Each country has its patriotic colors, its national song, its flag, and these countries differ from each other in no one thing so much as in the use of their flag. An Englishman once said to me: We use our flag only when necessary. You use yours upon the slightest provocation. Let this be forever true.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life in China and America The first five chapters of this book give an account of my early education, previous to going to America, where it was continued, first at Monson Academy, in Monson, Massachusetts, and later, at Yale College. The sixth chapter begins with my reëntrance into the Chinese world, after an absence of eight years. Would it not be strange, if an Occidental education, continually exemplified by an Occidental civilization, had not wrought upon an Oriental such a metamorphosis in his inward nature as to make him feel and act as though he were a being coming from a different world, when he confronted one so diametrically different? This was precisely my case, and yet neither my patriotism nor the love of my fellow-countrymen had been weakened. On the contrary, they had increased in strength from sympathy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China Revolutionized All these questions presented themselves when the re formers startled the world with the announcement that there was to be a republic in China. Lit was to be a republic - not a monarchy said even those Chinese who had been educated in Japan, where lately a Japanese editor educated in America and ten pthers had been tried and executed in secret, the papers sealed, and the press censored. They wanted pitiless publicity in the new republican China. Had there been no abatement of the Opium habit through Amer ica's leadership Of sentiment, and Britain's sacrifice of rev enue from 1909 to 1911, there could have been no rebellion in 1911. The reform cleared the befogged heads of the nation, added a million men to agitation, and furnished a hundred million dollars directly and indirectly toward the independence Of the agitators. How great a stone America and Britain set rolling in that Opium Conference of 1909 at Shanghai! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and America to-Day: A Study of Conditions and Relations The author of one of the most beautiful of Ori en'tal poems assumes the interval between the East and the West as a standard of immeasurable dis tance. The observant traveller who crosses from Europe to the Syrian shore of the Mediterranean Sea recognises at once that he is now in another world. It is not mere differences of language or of race, for those are found everywhere; but there is a pervasive barrier, felt, but unseen, which divides, and for aught that we can see always will divide, the Occident from the Orient. All this and much more is condensed into the five letters, which, to our thought, represent the greatest of all the continents - Asia. It is the land of origins. The human race must have come from somewhere, and whether we locate that some where in some valley to the north, or upon some plain to the south, we cannot persuade ourselves that our most distant ancestors were not Asiatics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chance Change in China As we stepped on shore at Hongkong, behold the streets were gay with many coloured flags in honour of the birth Of the People's Kingdom. Ahigh Official in the Imperial service, hurrying With all speed to Peking, laughed sceptically at the mere suggestion. Who is this Sun Yat Sen he said, many in the north have not even heard his name. Our Imperial friend, however, preferred not to go on shore at Hongkong. He stayed in seclusion on board the steamer and took the precaution to have his queue removed before our arrival in Shanghai. Hongkong was certainly a little premature in its rejoicings, but during those first momentous days of the Chinese Republic some confusion arose in regard to dates. I remember no fewer than three New Year's days, one according to the Western calendar, one by order of the Nanking Government on January 1sth, and one on the Old Chinese date at the beginning Of February. In Shanghai the new era showed itself in many ways. Rents of houses, of every kind of lodging, rose by leaps and bounds, for all the world had brought his wife and his Wealth to dwell in the safety of foreign Concessions until the storm had blown past.
