"Intimate China: The Chinese as I Have Seen Them" by Archibald Little is a memoir that recounts the author’s experiences in China during the late 1800s. It's a personal journey through the country, sharing observations and thoughts on Chinese culture. Little wanted to show what life was really like for Chinese people, not just share dry facts. The story starts with her arrival in Shanghai, where she describes the mix of European and Chinese influences. Her first impressions are a blend of excitement and letdown, as she sees a more realistic and less romantic view of China than she had expected. This sets the stage for a broader look at Chinese society and customs as she travels further into the country.
