Dans l'après-midi, nous avons pris des rickshaws et sommes allés au fond chrétien, où les Chinois et les chrétiens étrangers ont été enterrés. Tout le long du chemin, nous avons passé des gens qui allaient et venaient toitures et des tombes; mais comme il était tard, les gens retournaient avec force, et des morceaux de papier rouge flambants sur les tombes que nous avons passées, ont indiqué que la plupart des tombes avaient été adorées.
