My Chinese Notebook

The cover design is selected from the book《My Chinese Notebook》, published in 1904 by the British firm Methuen & Co., authored by Lady Susan Townley, wife of Walter Townley, a British envoy to Beijing. After the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Empress Dowager Cixi invited the wives of foreign envoys in Beijing to visit the Forbidden City to ease relations with Western countries. As a result, Susan Townley became acquainted with Cixi and gained in-depth knowledge of life within the Forbidden City.

This book presents a Western perspective on various aspects of China, including its history, beliefs, language, politics, and culture, focusing on the author's observations during her travels in China. It authentically captures late Qing China's customs, daily life, and religious rituals. As a person who witnessed the complex environment of the Forbidden City, she faithfully recorded her experiences of being received by the Qing royal family, including her "intimate contacts" with Empress Dowager Cixi. Written in 1904 based on her personal experiences, the memoir created a sensation in the Western world upon publication.
