In this picture, there is a big cake and six people. The cake represents China and it is being divided and took by the people except the man raising the hands. The man raising the hands is Qing of China. The woman holding a knife is Queen Victoria of UK. The man who is thrusting a knife into the cake is William ll of Germany. Nicholas ll of Russia is the man who eyeing a particular piece. The woman standing behind Nicholas ll represents French. Meiji Emperor of Japan is contemplating carefully.

Qing looks very serious and wants to stop the people, but he cannot get nearby the cake. He doesn’t have any ideas. His fingernails are very long which shows he tries his best to stop the others. However, he doesn’t have any weapons while the people who are in front of him get a knife. From the eye contact of Queen Victoria and William ll , it shows the relationship between Britain and Germany is not really good. They are active and more powerful as they can divide the cake first. The other three people are looking at the cake and they want to take it away. Their ambition is very obvious. Meiji Emperor is contemplating carefully. He doesn’t argue with the others directly but plan to get the largest profit. He is very cunning.

This picture shows the helplessness of China and the ambition of the others. How is a nice cartoon!.
