To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pig-tails reappeared as we approached Pekin, and soldiers of the Imperial army, wearing turbans and dirty blue cotton robes, were on guard at the stations. They were tall, well set-up men, and it was obvious that we were no longer among southerners. We traversed hills and plains dotted with trees, the 170 THROUGH THE CHINESE REVOLUTION latter marking the sites of the villages, which are always built on the patches of verdure. The houses are built of clay, or beaten earth, or bricks baked either... in the sun or in primitive ovens. The clay reddens in the sun, so that the walls surrounding the houses and villages are of a beautiful golden-pink colour, that stands out against the green grass and the blue sky. As we neared Pekin, we traversed immense sandy plains, over which the dreaded " yellow wind " was blowing. This wind comes from the Mongolian deserts, and brings with it a fine impalpable dust that darkens the sky. Every now and then it surrounded us like a fog, so that we could not see twenty yards in front of us.
