To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[A. D. 1898 TO A. P. 1900.] THE result of the Japanese war was a bitter blow to the pride of the old empress and her favorite, Li Hung Chang. For the time it completely dethroned the " petticoat gov- ernment," and gave Kwang Su a chance to put into practice some of the lessons he had learned from his unfortunate father and the Marquis Tseng. He surrounded himself with men of lib- eral education and modem ideas, chief among whom was a Cantonese, Kang-Yu-Wei, who is known for his learning, both i...n western literature and in the classics, as the " Modem Sage." He was appointed Secretary of the Tsung-li-Yamen.
The court squabbles between the young em- peror and the old empress came to a climax immediately after the seizure of Kiaochow ; and on the February following all the world knew that Kwang Su was the real ruler of China, and that 206 CHINA'S OPEN DOOR.
the long-looked-for Europeanizing of the coun- try was to commence. The vermillion pencil did not hesitate. Edict after edict appeared in its sacred color which threatened to do for China what had already been accomplished in Japan.
