What reading level is Lion And Dragon in Northern China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her sisters-inr law kept watch on her so that she could not do this.
Then she tried to take poison, but the family, full of pity and affection, kept her from this too. Full of vexation she cried out, " Am I to be the only one under all heaven who longs for death yet cannot die?" Then she resolutely set herself to starvp to death. For many days she refused nourishment of any kind, and on the sixteenth day of her fast she died. Many were the funeral odes composed by noted poets in her honour, and... in the reign of Ch'ien Lung (1736-95) an honorary archway was erected to her memory and her tablet was given a place in the local Shrine of Chastity and Filial Piety.
The last story of this kind to be quoted has not been extracted from the local Annals nor does it refer to events which actually took place in Weihaiwei; it was told me, however, by a Weihaiwei resident con- cerning a girl with whose family his own was distantly connected, and as it throws some light on certain Chinese customs and possesses a pathetic interest of its own though it is not essentially different from many other such stories, a little space may be found for it here.
