"Life and Sport in China" by Oliver G. Ready is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an insightful look into the daily lives, amusements, and challenges faced by Westerners living in China during a time of immense change and cultural interaction. The author aims to paint a vivid picture of the Anglo-Chinese experience, touching upon subjects such as sports, social gatherings, and the relationships between the foreign community and the local Chinese population. At the start of the work, the author reflects on the misconceptions held by the British public regarding life in China, addressing themes of isolation and misunderstanding. He recounts the foundation of Anglo-Chinese life through various treaties and the establishment of treaty ports that act as microcosms of British culture set within a predominantly Chinese environment. The opening highlights the complexities of social dynamics, including the challenges posed by differing customs and the governance structures imposed by foreign powers. Ready's narrative is characterized by a blend of personal anecdotes, humor, and keen observations that serve to enrich the reader's understanding of the unique lifestyle of Europeans living in a foreign land during this historically significant era.
