JOURNEY TO CHINA 2: THE PASSPORT. The foreigner who visits China is submitted to an indispensable formality; he receives a slip of paper on which is written the age he wants to indicate, the profession he says he pursues and the place where it pleases him to appoint his birth; all that followed by a description of particulars which applies to everybody, after which, against a consideration of two francs, the Chinese government is deemed to lend him succour and assistance for one year

JOURNEY TO CHINA 5: CHINESE LAW. Chinese barristers strive so hard, striking so many oratorical poses that the magistrates, in order not to be distracted by the gestures of the defence and to lose nothing of his arguments, generally devote themselves to some manual work, one slices his desk with penknife cuts; the other draws crude little figures on stamped paper or fashions folded paper hens; others have recourse to a more efficient method, they close their eyes and fall into deep meditation from which the usher who shouts silence! with all his might is at great pains to extract them... it is for this reason that Chinese justice is represented with a bandage over its eyes
