Un viaggio in Oriente . terreno di legatura, con le loro offerte, che a volte consisteva di un maiale arrosto intero e tumuli di torte rosa e bianco. Nel pomeriggio abbiamo preso rickshaws e siamo andati fuori al cristiano seppellimento-terra, dove sia i cristiani cinesi che stranieri sono stati sepolti. Lungo la strada passavamo persone che stavano andando e venendo da e dalle tombe; ma come è stato tardi la gente weremotly ritorno, e fluttering pezzi di carta rossa sulla sommità delle tombe che abbiamo passato, ha indicato che la maggior parte delle tombe erano stati adorati.
