152K01

This is a historical storybook describing the experience of Robert Fortune, an employee of the British Empire's East India Company, in China. The plot is very attractive and the writing style is like a novel. It tells the personal "adventure story" of Robert Fortune in an extremely exciting way. The core of Robert Fujun's story is that he relied on his botanical talent and strong interest to find excellent tea seeds in China, funded by the East India Company's business practices driven by interests and social needs.
