  • Preface and Acknowledgments
    Translator's Introduction: A Long Vigil Before Daybreak
    Notes on the Translation
    Chapter 1
    An anti-missionary case funnels public funds into private pockets;
    Old-school folks break down prejudices to go after new measures.
    Chapter 2
    Promotions up official ranks and making riches are words of sound advice;
    Patronage and gift-giving are shortcuts to success for which people scramble.
    Chapter 3
    The job of machine procurement comes as a reward for the cash contribution;
    In the name of civilization is the effort made to join the Natural Feet Society.
    Chapter 4
    Mockery is what motivates the effort to study the English primer;
    The social circle broadens to lead to making friends with Wilkes.
    Chapter 5
    The hunt for the Wealth Voucher rebels leads to a good friend's death;
    The investigation into local mining rights gives rise to covetous thought.
    Chapter 6
    Mining shares are peddled on Fuzhou Road to attract investors;
    A company is set up in Guangxin prefecture to produce camphor.
    Chapter 7
    New rules are drafted to forestall school education's harmful effects;
    Preemptive action is the key to success in handling foreign relations.
    Chapter 8
    An old friend's cooperation helps resolve a Sino-foreign dispute;
    A police surcharge is enforced in the name of policy innovation.
    Chapter 9
    An old flame cannot reignite as the nestled bird is scared away;
    The heartache lingers as the male fox sets out to look for a mate.
    Chapter 10
    A superior's favor incurs add-on duties at the correctional center;
    In search of marital bliss, a letter is sent with a marriage proposal.
    Chapter 11
    The dress-up embrace of Great Universality dazzles every eye;
    Vengeance over a private feud goes public in the newspapers.
    Chapter 12
    Harsh words in heated argument cause affection and fortune to vanish;
    Endurance through hardship yields fruits of fame and riches in the end.
    Chapter 13
    Commendation for the intendant status fulfills a long-standing career desire;
    Supervision of school affairs calls for implementation of authoritarian rules.
    Chapter 14
    Deft skills in making money are applied to maximize mining profits;
    Army duties become a concurrent job when no other deputy is found.
    Chapter 15
    Grandees play favorites with those who beseech their patronage;
    Colleagues throw a banquet to celebrate his transfer and promotion.
    Chapter 16
    Once the mask is stripped away, the tracks of the past are fully revealed;
    In a lyrical poem, warm-hearted but trite, the point of the tale is unveiled.
