Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

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."
