A fragment from a period piece recounts Lien Chi Altangi’s visit to Fun Hoam in Peoria during a clash of cultures. The narrator mocks Western tastes, chinoiserie decor, and colonial vanity while noting a humorous exchange about Chinese objects and temple ruins.
The speaker notes they dismissed the reply and left the matter unresolved, marking a final departure from the interaction. The passage conveys farewell and continuing separation, with emphasis on the speaker's deliberate disengagement from the topic and person.
