The Magic of Malaya (Classic Reprint)

Those who are familiar with the bland pervasiveness of the Chinese in the Malay Peninsula will find nothing strange in the existence of Li Wang. He was a Chinese exactly like other Chinese. If you had seen him in a town you had not remarked him; had you seen him on a lalang plain you had seen nothing in him; if you had seen him cutting up timber in a jungle you had been conscious that there was a Chinese cutting up timber in the jungle and that was the end of it. Nothing remarkable about him - nothing of which to take hold, nothing to make you say, "Hullo, there is Li Wang." No, when you saw him you said, "There is a Chinaman."
