I opted for the sad Chinaman. I read The Tribulations of a Chinaman in China. It was a difficult read for me at first because the locations and names are all hard to understand. I wish that my copy would have had a map in it. I enjoyed it though, especially learning how the Chinese wealth people use phonographs to record messages and send them to each other. In this book they record the messages on paper and send it to each other. Sounds far fetched but maybe the translation was off.

I am surprised that it has not been made into a movie. The ending read like a movie ending.

I have decided to read Off on a Comet next. I am going to read the David McKay translation from 1895 (To the Sun/Off on a Comet.)
