"Dia melihat di atas kertas gambar seorang lelaki berkulit putih, yang tergantung di atas kayu melintang.

Wang Lung menatap pria yang digambarkan dalam ketakutan dan dengan meningkatnya minat."

He saw on the paper a picture of a man, white-skinned, who hung upon a crosspiece of wood. The man was without clothes except for a bit about his loins, and to all appearences he was dead, since his head drooped upon his shoulder and his eyes were closed above his bearded lips. Wang Lung looked at the pictured man in horror and with increasing interest.
