Summary "The Attaché at Peking" by A.B. Freeman-Mitford is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work comprises a series of letters reflecting on the author’s experiences and observations while living in China, particularly in Peking, during a time of significant political and social tension. It provides insights into Chinese customs, the complexities of foreign relations, and the precarious position of Europeans in a country rife with contradictions. The opening of the book establishes the author’s perspective on the slow-changing nature of Chinese society and explains the context of the letters, which were written during a time when foreign powers occupied a sensitive position in China. Freeman-Mitford discusses the contrasts between China and Japan in terms of modernization and historical stability, emphasizing the deep-seated cultural pride of the Chinese in their ancient civilization. He captures the atmosphere of tension and underlying threats in Peking, reflecting on both his personal experiences there and the broader implications of foreign presence in a country facing insurrections and societal upheaval.
