To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The passive resistance of so vast a people, rooted in a tradition so immemo- rial, will defeat in the future, as it has done in the past, the attempts of the Western Powers to impose their will on the nation through the agency of the Government. No force will ever suffice to stir that huge inertia. The whirlwind of war for a moment may ruffle the surface of the sea, may fleck with foam its superficial cur- LETTERS FROM A CHINESE OFFICIAL rents; it will never shake or trouble the clear unfathoma...ble deep which is the still and brood- ing soul of China.
If our people are ever to be moved, their rea- son and their heart must be convinced; and this lesson, which you in Europe are so slow to learn, was embodied centuries ago in the practice and theory of our State. Government with us is based on the consent of the people to a degree which you of the West can hardly understand, much less imitate. What you have striven so vainly to achieve by an increasingly elaborate machinery happens among us by the mere force of facts.
