I’m pretty sure that question mark on the second to last line is anachronistic. I don’t know exactly when western punctuation was incorporated into traditional Chinese script, but I’m almost certain it was well after 1870. The character at the end of that line, before the question mark, is “ma”, which, by itself, turns a statement into a question.
