Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chun Ti-Kung: His Life and Adventures; A Novel
In these years it was at first a great disappointment to find that many could not even raise the lowest price that Chun Se-fei could make up his mind to accept for the commonest shell, but had to bury their dead in rags; although, when his planks were becoming reduced in stock, he had reason to congratulate himself, as he found it practicable to increase the price in proportion to the demand. It is astonishing to what a degree of inconvenience the Chinese will put themselves to bury their dead decently, often leaving the family heavily in debt.
