Excerpt from Pain's Pyrotechnic Spectacle, War Between Japan and China
How differently was the course pursued by the great Empire of China; the old policy of exclusiveness was maintained; the foreigner was treated-as an unwelcome visitor to her shores; the wonderful achievements in modern science, in the Western nations, received slight recognition in the Flowery Kingdom; in a word, China dreamed of where she was centuries ago, and was lost - when she woke Japan was her master.
A summary of the events of the war will enable those who visit Pain's open-air theatre to form an idea for themselves of the manner in which Japan prepared for this conflict, and recognize how thoroughly unprepared China was to make successful resistance.
