Chinese Talking Politics. Thanks to antiquity and the stability of the Constitution of China, this country is extremely unified... it counts only little more than 63 political parties. Quite often one finds Chinese citizens discussing vehemently on public places, using arguments they had prior seen in their favourite journal. Quite often the journal itself will replace the argument, being used as such, plate 20 from Voyage En Chine

A Present for an Artist. The Chinese adore music, but they are also passionately fond of musicians. Their infatuation of this attitude is carried to extremes which are not easily understood in our civilized regions. Thus it is quite normal to see Chinese harnessed like horses to a cab and drive their idol around town. An when a pianist has improvised variations more or less brilliant of the "air of moonlight", "Ah!... you will say... Mama" or "King Dagobert", they find nothing better to bestow on him than a sword of honour which is accepted with a coolness equally laughable, plate 23 from Voyage En Chine

An Addition to a Splendid Education. The young Chinese of the upper class don't only cultivate the art of the hunting horn, they also learn to give punches with the fist or the heels of their boots right into the pit of the stomach. This talent is called boxing with the feet and it is cultivated with the greatest success by all those who consider placing themselves on a good footing in society, plate 17 from Voyage En Chine

I'll be delighted to offer you a helping hand!,” plate 19 from Les Philantropes Du Jour
