Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... worshipped and have sacrifices offered to it, and this could only be done by one of the same generation as himself The council of the imperial family met at night within one of the palace chambers, and they decided that a little boy, about three and a half years of age, should be chosen Emperor. The child was the son of Prince Chung, the seventh son of the Emperor Tau-Kwang, and the brother of Hien-Feng. The little Emperor was sent for immediately, tired and sleepy as he was, and placed in the midst of his uncles, who all did homage to him. The first consequence of the act by which the baby-boy Tsaitien was changed into the Emperor Kwang-Su, or "Illustrious Successor," was the retirement of his father from public life, since, according to Chinese ideas, it was quite impossible for a father to do homage to his own son. But even this matter had to be arranged in what seems to Europeans a very round-about way. The Emperor's father sent up a memorial to the two Dowager Empresses--for these ladies now undertook the care of Kwang-Su, as they had previously done of his predecessor. Prince Chung described the agony of grief into which he was thrown when called upon to gaze upon the features of the departed Emperor. But he was even more overwhelmed by the news that his own son had been chosen to succeed to the throne. He was carried home as one bereft of reason, he was attacked by many diseases, and begged to be allowed to spend the remnant of his miserable life in the seclusion of his own home, entreating the Empresses to withdraw his double allowance as an Imperial Prince. This memorial, which reads so strangely to English ears, seemed quite correct and proper to the educated Chinese, and appeared in the pages of the court newspaper. Eeferences...

New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice; Real Simple Best of the Month; Library Journal Editors’ Pick In the spirit of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Bringing up Bébé, and The Smartest Kids in the World, a hard-hitting exploration of China’s widely acclaimed yet insular education system that raises important questions for the future of American parenting and education When students in Shanghai rose to the top of international rankings in 2009, Americans feared that they were being "out-educated" by the rising super power. An American journalist of Chinese descent raising a young family in Shanghai, Lenora Chu noticed how well-behaved Chinese children were compared to her boisterous toddler. How did the Chinese create their academic super-achievers? Would their little boy benefit from Chinese school? Chu and her husband decided to enroll three-year-old Rainer in China’s state-run public school system. The results were positive—her son quickly settled down, became fluent in Mandarin, and enjoyed his friends—but she also began to notice troubling new behaviors. Wondering what was happening behind closed classroom doors, she embarked on an exploratory journey, interviewing Chinese parents, teachers, and education professors, and following students at all stages of their education. What she discovered is a military-like education system driven by high-stakes testing, with teachers posting rankings in public, using bribes to reward students who comply, and shaming to isolate those who do not. At the same time, she uncovered a years-long desire by government to alleviate its students’ crushing academic burden and make education friendlier for all. The more she learns, the more she wonders: Are Chinese children—and her son—paying too high a price for their obedience and the promise of future academic prowess? Is there a way to appropriate the excellence of the system but dispense with the bad? What, if anything, could Westerners learn from China’s education journey? Chu’s eye-opening investigation challenges our assumptions and asks us to consider the true value and purpose of education.
