Chinese Gold Miners Letter

你好。我把這件事寫回中國人民身上。我希望你們倖存下來。我認為這對你來說就像是地獄。現在我不在這裡。我們住在這些由稻草和金屬製成的非常小的小屋裡，而且他們非常骯髒。我們非常幸運，因為我們有一個可以講英語的商人，他們可以和新西蘭人交談。我希望這個消息很快會到達你，並且你的公民在家裡玩得很開心。

If you want the translation, here you go

Hello. I am writing this back to the people of China. I hope you guys are surviving okay. I reckon it is like hell for you. It isn’t any better where I am now. We live in these really small huts made of straw and metal, and they are very grimy. We are very lucky because we have a merchant who can speak English, and they can talk to the New Zealanders. I hope this message reaches you soon, and that you citizens are having fun at home.
