Excerpt from Stories of Everyday Life in Modern China On the other hand, the character and experiences of Mr. Yang in Heathen and Christian are per haps more frequent among the Chinese than foreigners imagine. The native helper or evangelist in this story was a man well known to many Europeans. He was quiet and unassuming, of perfect faith and great zeal, but without much knowledge or experience.

Excerpt from The Young Mandarin: A Story of Chinese Life The following story, though not all fact, is not fiction. Its incidents are either real occurrences or like them. The official corruption presented may be less in other localities; yet it is to be feared that it is general and great. The customs described may differ in other parts of China; the author has presented what he knew prevailed in the vicinity of Amoy, his home for a time.

Excerpt from Everyday Life in China: Or Scenes Along River and Road That China is a mysterious problem to all who interest themselves in its affairs is the only excuse for writing another book about it. To the Christian its religious state is a subject to be spoken of with bated breath. To the politician the condition of its government and people is one of the chronic disturbing elements in his speculations. In the following pages the writer ventures to think he has pictured the people of that great and wonderful land in a light in which they have not often been seen by any but a traveller. The endeavour has been to represent China, not from the special point of view of the politician, merchant, or missionary, but simply to describe the scenes of daily life as they appear to one moving to and fro among them. This book has no intention of being profound, nor of explaining everything. It is consistent with its title, and presents the reader only familiar sketches.

Excerpt from New Life Currents in China The present hour is a crucial one in the history of China. Never has she faced such unparalleled Opportunities Or been confronted by graver perils. For a time her very life seemed to hang in the balance. But we believe the real crisis passed with the sudden ending of the European war, and that the changes sure to be brought about during this period Of world building will strengthen and make permanent the country's foundations. China is not like ancient Egypt, Whose greatness has departed though she still lives on. China is a vital force whose largest possibilities of develop ment lie before and not behind her. A new, fresh life is beginning to course through the nation's veins. How can this new life be fostered so there will not be the awful waste which has weakened China almost to the breaking point? The conservation of the physical, mental, mate rial, and, above all, the spiritual life of China and the Chinese people at this present time, - What a theme for our consideration! It will be seen that I have said but little, except indirectly, about the work being done in China by more than six thousand missionaries representing over one hundred mission boards of the British Empire, the United States, and Europe.

Excerpt from Across China on Foot: Life in the Interior and the Reform Movement To travel in China is easy. To walk across China, over roads 'acknowledgedly worse than are met with in any civilised country in the two hemispheres, and having accommodation unequalled for crudeness and insanitation, is not easy. In deciding to travel in China, I determined to cross overland from the head of the Yangtze Gorges to British Burma on foot; and, although the strain nearly cost me my life, no conveyance was used in any part of my journey other than at two points described in the course of the narrative. For several days during my travels I lay at the point of death. The arduousness of constant mountaineering - for such is ordinary travel in most parts of Western China - laid the foundation of a long illness, rendering it impossible for me to continue my walking, and as a consequence I resided in the interior of China during a period of convalescence of several months duration, at the end of which I continued my cross-country tramp. Subsequently I returned into Yun-nan from Burma, lived again in Tong-ch'uan-tu and Chao-t'ong-ia, and travelled in the wilds of the surrounding country. Whilst travelling I lived on Chinese food.

Everyday life in contemporary rural China is characterized by an increased sense of moral challenge and uncertainty. Ordinary people often find themselves caught between the moral frameworks of capitalism, Maoism and the Chinese tradition. This ethnographic study of the village of Zhongba (in Hubei Province, central China) is an attempt to grasp the ethical reflexivity of everyday life in rural China. Drawing on descriptions of village life, interspersed with targeted theoretical analyses, the author examines how ordinary people construct their own senses of their lives and their futures in everyday activities: building houses, working, celebrating marriages and funerals, gambling and dealing with local government. The villagers confront moral uncertainty; they creatively harmonize public discourse and local practice; and sometimes they resolve incoherence and unease through the use of irony. In so doing, they perform everyday ethics and re-create transient moral communities at a time of massive social dislocation.
