[Carroll, Lewis]. Alisi xiao jie. Chen Bochui [ID D32103].
"After looking through Alice's adventures in wonderland I was attracted and excited by this innocent, implusive, clever, brave and lovely girl, and then an idea occurred to me that she could be invited to China, the semi-feudal and semi-colony, and through her experience Chinese children will get to know their own country, learn what to love, what to hate, what's right and what's wrong, and then consider where to go and choose the correct way for themselves.
At sight of the barefooted worker, Alice suddenly thought of several hateful faces : those of bristletail, the profiteer, of snake, the police, of Dr. Firefly, the manager of electric company, of snoozing bug, the judge, of cicada, the poet, of python, the emperor, of gadfly, the fortuneteller, of grasshopper, the rascal, of fly, the gangster, and of mosquito."

Hu Rong : Chen tells Alice's adventures in China in his fairy tale for pupils. It's evident that Chen had studies Carroll's Alice carefully and tried to follow the original in plots, scenes and characters. As a skilled writer of books for children, Chen attached importance to the dialogue and interior monologue of his characters. His Alice remains a curious, honest and polite girl, who occasionally makes some mistakes out of carelessness or quick temper. Like what she meets in wonderland, Alice encounters many queer animals and attends a number of debates, parties and trials. Chen did not forget to add dozens of nursery rhymes to his book, which at first glance seems quite close to its original in the style at least.
