Excerpt from A Little Journey to China and JapanThe Chinese proudly boast that their government is the oldest on the globe; that China was a nation five thousand years before the United States was born; that they have books from three to four thousand years old; that they used the printing -press a thousand years before it was used in Europe. More than four thousand years ago these pe0p1e knew how to make brick from clay, how to build canals, how to sing, and play on musical instruments, how to write, and how to calculate the movements of the stars; also, they had domestic animals, cultivated the fields, and had forms of worship and government.They know little of modern inventions and ma chinery, but they have a wonderful skill in handicraft, and their artists and artisans are in many lines not equaled by those of any other country.They tell us, also, that their race numbers more than one-fourth of all the people on the globe, and that their territory includes more than acres of ground, or more than the United States.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Little Journey to China: For Intermediate and Upper Grades The traveler meets with many difficulties in China. There are few railroads; the boats, Ou the rivers and canals are not very attractive to Americans and Euro peans; camels are not pleasant riding to strangers; the sedan-chair and the wheelbarrows cramp one too much for Comfort; and the roads are so miserable and crooked that walking is both unpleasant and dangerous, for a Chinaman wants the roads ffom one village to another to wind about SO much that an evil spirit wandering in them will likely get lost and not find the way to the Chinaman's house. Both the officials and the common people fought the introduction of railroads into China. This opposition was due partly to the fear that it would open the way for missionaries and other foreigners to get in easily, and partly to the fear that it would anger evil Spirits and cause them to bring great misfortunes On the peo ple. So great was the opposition to' railroads twenty five years ago that, even after a Short one had been built from Shanghai to Wusung, the authorities bought it and destroyed it.

Excerpt from A Little Journey to China: For Intermediate and Upper Grades Why should we visit what is regarded as the most unprogressive people in the world? Is there anything about China to interest or instruct us? Shall we find many things that are strange or wonderful? Let us see. China was a nation not less than 5,000 years before the United States was born. She has a language whose alphabet consists of 25,000 to 50,000 characters, not less than 3,000 to 5,000 of which a pupil must learn before he can read. A printing press was in operation in China one thousand years before John Gutenberg, of Mentz, made permanent the revival of learning in Europe by his valuable invention. Her libraries contain volumes from three thousand to four thousand years old. There were schools and academies in China two thousand years before the Christian Era. Her people constitute more than one-fourth of the human race, and her territory includes more than 2,700,000,000 acres of ground, or 350,000,000 acres more than the United States, and nearly 200,000,000 acres more than the whole of Europe.

Unforgettable describes this tale, Journey to China, that sweeps the reader not only into adventures when a family of six from a small desert, farming community in southwestern United States begin the trip to China that started as routine with a dual purpose of escorting their niece to her parents who are attending Peking University and to schedule a visit with the girls’ pen pal but also find themselves caught up in intrigue as they become a target from a spy from the Central Communist Government. Share their adventures as they experience China’s century old customs battling with modern day philosophies as an economic and militaristic country among the cultural treasures and great wonders of the world along with high speed transportati on, high rises and new emphasis on education. As they learn to bridge the language barrier, there is new respect for the Chinese people who have been inventors, artists, music, and more for over three thousand years. In the countryside, the families find a quiet and calm environment. While visiting the pen pal family, they assist in a disaster that makes them heroic in the whole country. On the return trip home, they encounter an earthquake within the Ring of Fire followed by a tidal wave that may jeopardize their lives along with the other 300 passengers in a crippled airplane. Will they be able to utilize their ingenuity and create a miracle to save themselves?
