What reading level is Children of China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Young Mrs Chiu's tears fell freely and she began again to be- seech her mother-in-law to forgive whatever might have 76 CHILDREN OF CHINA offended her, and not to shame her son in the eyes of his friends and neighbours.
On this the angry dame left her chair and walked into the midst of the guests and the crowd of onlookers.
Then she stamped one of her large feet upon the stones and turning to her son said: " Your father did not find fault with my feet, who are you to be ashamed of them? My hear...t is right, therefore Heaven has given me good fortune; looks do not matter." His Excellency bore her anger with grace and patience, and when she had said all she wished to say, at last was able to persuade her to enter the Yamen.
It would be a mistake to think that old Mrs Chiu would not go into her son's house only because she was angry. The Chinese despise the man who is ashamed of his parents or poor relations. The old woman's big feet showed that she had been of the working class. She acted as she did, not from ob- stinacy or temper, but because she wished that neither she herself nor her distinguished son should be ashamed of their humble beginnings.
