THE KING'S CHINESE.
YELLOW CITIZENS OF OUR EMPIRE.
In the lands of our Kine liva soms millions of loyal Chinese.
A lemon-coloured Sphinx, slightly animated, but possessing a bewildering facial restraint; a being in whom there are neither morals nor truth, and no sense of reverence (except for his wicked pigtail)-this is probably the man-in- the-street's rough-and-ready and pitiably untrue impression of the Chinaman. And the Chias- man knows it and smiles. Had he not his poets and philosophers when white men were savages? He feels he can afford to smile. And let me tell you the smile of a Chinaman makes the wise man think
WHERE EAST MEETS WEST.. Shiploads of Chinese are disembarked at the Tanjong Pagar Backs, Singapore, every year, They are sinkehr, coolies, Mastly they are in dentured, and their only assets are physical strength and brain. They leave behind them the graves of their ancestors (everyone knows what ancestor worship means to the Chinaman, and they worship in the new land the great god Chance. At first they are mere hewers of wood and rawers of water or more probably) tick shaws"-but some emerge. Under British rule, they find incentives to advancements. Man darins no longer oppress them. What they earn is their own. There is a protector of Chinese, to whom they may always turn; there Are courts where they fire on equal footing with Towkay and even the white man. Such is the rule of the West, and beneath its beneficence the East blossoms richly like the flower of the forest free.
From coalie to petty trader is generally, the first step. A Chop is formed. "upposing our emerged coolie has for his name Tani Toh. That would he the last name under which he would trade. Ile would choose, say, Chop Chin Hoa Heng, or anything else that was elusive, and put in his female selatives as partoers, and, if inisfortune fell, leave a fascinating riddle for the official assignee. A Chinese Chops'" Who's Who" would be a godsend to British traders.
But we will imagine that all goes well-that in spite of the reckless credit which German firms give for goods that they cannot sell in their own country and in this way cut out the Britisher in his own Colony-we will imagine ibat our ex-coolic and newly-fledged merchant progresses.
He in turn gets in his conlies, and you may be sure that they are relatives of his and from his own village in China. He has a wife in China to whom he tegulaḥly remits, but he bar another in the Straits. Up till now he has lived in the Chop house; but with prosperity he re- moves. A compound villa in Tanglin with huge lions on the pateposts, has caught his eye. He has a glarey too, d'awn by a high- stepping Australia pony, with a dashing Malay syre in drive it. the becomes fat-some times very at-but although he joins a Chinese club and drinks much bundy practically neat.
and gambles as only a Chinanian can, be still, as a rule, keeps his eye on the main thing- the making of money. He takes to gold spec.
He has a pleasure tacles, hat invests in tin house some miles way in the plantations, but he keeps his cunning eye on the gam- bier plants, and I pity the coolie who ra
his cacoanuts. He develops a tout for music, and buys a grainophone, but he asks his friends to come and gamble with him to the strains of "Soldiers of the Queen," and if the losings do not pay for the cutestament, it is only his luck that is out. 'He is, first and f remost, the most superstitious man fod has made, and luck is the touchstone of his happiness,
THE DUDE
of
A Chinamas simply must have a son. 11e does not come by one in the ordinary way nature, he buys ane. I have known im- poverished talk sell a son in order to promote a lawsuit. The son begins hile gallantly. In lus father's ghariy he is driven in Raffles School, where he has before him a curriculuin of which an English grammar school would be proud. "Like father, like aon," is as true of the China- mao au of any one else-only the son is brought into closer contact with Western ideas and temptations than the father was, The father spoke his Chinese dialect and Malay, and perhaps a little English. The son speaks all three, and exceedin ily well ton,
Probably as soon as he has left school he marries. His wife is & Straits-born Chinese girl. The ceremonies last for weeks, and Europeans are invited, on a given day. The tiny bride comes before them arrayed in jewels, looking very frightened. The boy-husband is present ed to the guests by the bride's father, and is full of assurance. What happens? The son either goes into business and works, or be plays the dude. The majority do the furnier, but the others are so amusing that they should be noticed: On the esplanade in the evening the dude finds his paradise. A great carriage- with a fearful and wonderful coat of arms painted as big as a saucer, and with bright polished matal work wherever it can be placed drawn by a dashing pair outrageously ca parisoned that is the dude's ambition--not forgetting, if you please, servants in livery, gaudy enough to delight the King of the Red Indian's himself.
|
Diamond rings in plenty are a passion with bim; he never rides, but no self-respecting dude would be seen without a pad and a Panama hat, gold spectacles, and the newest of brown leather boots complete the outfit. In time, of course, he, as likely as not, gate into the tails of the chelty money-lenders. Then, indeed, Greek meets Greek, but the Chetty generally wine, and our dude, falling from his golden pinnacle, lives hazardously, and, we will hope, Just within the law.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH SATURDAY, MAY
The Chinese in the Straits are essential to us, } and we are indispensable to them. In the mites, the planlations, and the towns white labour would be impossible. Climate and ex- pense are two grounds for this proposition. Chinese, therefore provide the labour and produce for us, the lion's share of our
revenue. We give them is turn, and for the first time in their history, hon- est rule and justice before the law. And they vastly appreciate us. nglishmen aluee do they call white men (Orang Puteh); our German friends are merely Orang German and the Dutch are Orang Blanda, The Chinese are assimilating our institutions, too, and some if them are oven ahoaring off their pigtails, The only tragic features of affairs in the Stmits are the destructive invasion of privileged German Įraders, and the over-growing less of coast-trading craft to the British, flag, Bat that is another story.
