Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chun Ti-Kung: His Life and Adventures; A Novel Chun Ti-Kung´s father, Chun Se-fei, kept one of the most popular coffin-shops in a good-sized village called Pa-li Kiao, not far from the Foo City of Chowshing in the Province of Chekiang. Pa-li Kiao, being interpreted, means a bridge eight li distant from some more important town. Chun Ti-kung´s father had been for years gradually putting by coin from his system of investing largely in planks of wood when cheap, and these in almost every year gave him a good return when they were converted into coffins; the price of a coffin for moderately rich people often amounting to £100 or even £150 sterling. In the periodical famine years, and in the years 1862 and 1863, when the Taiping rebellion had devastated the country for miles around, and corpses were constantly being brought down for some sort of interment, his business increased to such an extent that his stock of boards was considerably reduced, and he found himself a well-to-do man.
