What reading level is China Under the Empress Dowager book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems to us a monstrous thing that a man of this stamp should be employed at the Tsungli Yamen, and that his removal from the Board would be of incalculable benefit. He deserves to be removed from office for blocking reform and impeding the execution of your Majesty's plans, if only as a warning to reactionary officials, who are all a danger to their country. If your Majesty will reduce him to the fourth official rank we shall escape the ridicule of foreign nations, and the cause of reform w...ill be greatly advanced." On receipt of the above Memorial, Kuang-Hsii com- manded Hsii Ying-ku'ei to submit a personal explanation of his conduct. The following is the text of his Memorial in reply, which shows K'ang Yu-wei in a light less favourable than that in which his admirers represented him : — 191 CHINA UNDER THE EMPRESS DOWAGER " I feel that because of my uprightness I have made myself enemies, and I am grateful to your Majesty for thus allowing me to defend myself.
