What reading level is Bright Celestials the Chinaman At Home And Abroad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On board, hailing from Penang, was a young man, who, hearing Tek Chiu's story, accurately solved for him the riddle of his forced severance from Singapore.
A forgery must have taken place. The British Govern- ment, had they known of the matter — but of course it was not a public question of Imperial or Colonial policy — would have severely punished the depot-keeper.
But why, asked the new-comer of Tek Chiu, was he in distress about going to Deli ?
Ere he arrived at Sumatra Tek Chiu found in thi...s young Penang Chinaman the Hopeful of his wanderings.
155 156 BRIGHT CELESTIALS.
Hopeful was a Straits-born Chinaman, not literally a cooly, but a cooly's companion. He was proceeding to Deli to be a clerk in a tobacco-plantation at a place which, as afterwards transpired, was within measurable distance of Tek Chiu's field of labour. Hopeful's grandfather had, half a century earlier than his grand- son's recital of the story, left the city of Even Way in Fokien, China, and found a home in Penang, the island of the betel-nut.
