      This thoroughly revised edition reflects the significant changes China has undergone in recent years. The initial expectation of a straightforward update proved overly optimistic, as nearly every paragraph from the second edition required modification. What was anticipated to be a few months of revision extended over nearly a year. Despite the challenges, every effort has been made to ensure the volume is as current as possible, though it is acknowledged that no guide can be completely accurate in a country evolving so rapidly. Special thanks are due to those who contributed to this revision, particularly Mrs. Samuel Gouling, whose meticulous proofreading and extensive knowledge of China greatly enhanced the book's value. About the Publisher: Forgotten Books publishes a vast array of rare and classic works. Their commitment to preserving historical texts involves cutting-edge technology to digitally reconstruct works while maintaining the original format.
