What reading level is America, Through the Spectacles of An Oriental Diplomat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Formerly a Chinese student when returningfrom Europe or America at once resumed his national dress, for if hedared to continue to favor the Western garb he was looked upon as a"half-foreign devil". Since the establishment of the Chinese Republicin 1911, this sentiment has entirely changed, and the inelegant foreigndress is no longer considered fantastic; on the contrary it has becomea fashion, not only in cities where foreigners are numerous, but evenin interior towns and villages where they ar...e seldom seen.
Chinese ladies, like their Japanese sisters, have not yet, to theircredit be it said, become obsessed by this new fashion, which showsthat they have more common sense than some men. I have, however, seena few young and foolish girls imitating the foreign dress of Westernwomen. Indeed this craze for Western fashion has even caught hold ofour legislators in Peking, who, having fallen under the spell ofclothes, in solemn conclave decided that the frock coat, with thetall-top hat, should in future be the official uniform; and theswallow-tail coat with a white shirt front the evening dress in China.
