| Summary | "Les Parisiens peints par un Chinois" by Ki-tong Tcheng is a travelogue and observational commentary written in the late 19th century. The work offers insights into the experiences and thoughts of a Chinese observer visiting Paris during a time of cultural exchange exemplified by the Exposition Universelle. The narrative, through its protagonist, reveals unique comparisons between Chinese and European life, particularly highlighting the social customs and attitudes towards marriage and modernization. The opening of the text introduces the author's intention to share genuine impressions of Paris from a Chinese perspective, particularly focusing on the themes of marriage and societal norms. After discussing reactions to a new "League Against Marriage" founded in England, the narrator reflects on notable European writers’ opinions, illustrating a blend of admiration and critique toward Western customs. This portion sets a contemplative tone as the narrator grapples with the contradictions of marriage in both cultures while elaborating on the differences in societal expectations and individual freedoms, laying the groundwork for the exploration of broader themes of identity and cultural divergence.
