What reading level is English Life in China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Do leave us alone. ' Almost the mere statement of the argument carries with it its own refutation. For instance, it might be infinitely cheaper to pay a half dollar for conveyance by railway in four hours, than to expend four days, without actual disbursement of cash, in struggling in a boat against the tortuous and rapid current of the Yang-tsze-kiang.
