What reading level is China As It Really is book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The East is not particular with regard to time. An hour here and an hour there is immaterial.
It is this disregard of time which con- stitutes one of the greatest differences 116 SOCIAL OBSERVANCES between the East and the West. The meal itself lasts several hours. It con- sists of the weirdest dishes. One uncon- sciously devours the meat of animals and other creatures that are not considered edible in Western lands. Contrary to the belief that obtains in England, dog flesh is not a staple arti...cle of diet in China.
It is eaten in some parts of the Empire by the poorer people, but not in large quantities. It no doubt finds its way under false pretences on to many tables in much the same manner that horseflesh in England often usurps the place of beef.
Pork is the meat of China ; everybody eats it in some form or another. Pig breeding and fattening is a great industry ; the scavenger pig is a familiar sight all over the country. His flesh is eaten, however, by the poorer classes only. The pig eaten by the middle and upper classes of China — and the pig that is now finding its way into the English market — is a grain-fed animal ; he is reared, fed, and 117 CHINA AS IT REALLY IS killed under conditions that compare very favourably — to say the least of it — with those that obtain in Western lands.
