What reading level is My Chinese Note book book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Few enter a Chinese prison who have not on their bodies or limbs some wounds, either inflicted by blows to which they have been subjected, or caused by the manner in which they have been bound ; the instinct of the insect to which I allude appears to lead them direct to these wounds. Bound and helpless the poor wretch cannot save himself from their approach, although he knows full well that if they once succeed in reaching his lacerated skin there is the certainty of a fearful lingering and ago...nising death before him." The punishment of guilt varies in cruelty and intensity ; for the murder of a father, mother or several people of one family the sentence is " igno- minious and slow death." The offender male or female is attached to a post and cut to pieces by slow degrees, the pieces being thrown about CHINESE PUNISHMENTS HOW CHINA IS GOVERNED 165 amongst the crowd. This cruel death was more than once publicly inflicted in Peking during the year 1903. It is said that if the family is rich enough the executioner can be bribed to put sufficient opium into the sufferer's last meal to make him practically unconscious under torture, or to begin by inflicting the fatal stab in the heart which in ordinary cases should be the last.
