The Young Mandarin: A Story of Chinese Life

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Sept. 7, 2018)
Excerpt from The Young Mandarin: A Story of Chinese Life

The following story, though not all fact, is not fiction. Its incidents are either real occurrences or like them.

The official corruption presented may be less in other localities; yet it is to be feared that it is general and great.

The customs described may differ in other parts of China; the author has presented what he knew prevailed in the vicinity of Amoy, his home for a time.
