What reading level is My Chinese Days book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Suddenly it moved and heaved, and a great golden back came into sight. Another and another rose into view.
Eight or ten huge tortoises, their backs mottled in gleams of yellow and brown, ruffled the pool with a thousand ripples. Centuries old, pampered and protected, fed cake and sweetmeats by the hands of countless generations, they lived on from age to age. I looked at their beautifully marked and tinted backs with awe. What had they not seen !
Even the ghosts of the Mandarin who cannot be bu...ried and his slave were not as old as the turtles.
The mystery of the pool was a thousandfold in- tensified by the appearance of these animals who seemed to have lived forever.
A babel of tongues broke out in the outer court.
A bevy of Chinese women and children entered the Court of the Pool. There were several high-bom THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD i8i women, innumerable amahs and coolies carrying babies and baskets of food.
They looked at me with interest and in a moment I had recognized them as belonging to the family of Li.
