Intrigue and chaos lash a Qing dynasty marriage
A chaotic extract blends gossip and political frustration. It cites the dowager empress Hien-fung as blocking reforms in Kwangsu’s marriage, condemns Travis the police chief for inaction in the Johnson case, and critiques city life and politics with sharp, gossipy tone. The Sun highlights crime, politics, and social issues in a bustling urban milieu.
