原来没有拒绝！For other people who are curious, I asked my Chinese tutor to read the last one - she was able to read it decently, but didn't simultaneously understand it.  She said one would need a good grasp of classical Chinese to make sense of it on the fly.

@Apollys I have to say, actually, not every native speaker can understand it on the fly ROTF.

Just FYI, It's an example of constrained writing possible in tonal languages such as Mandarin Chinese.

@Raymond, could you expand on how Mandarin Chinese being tonal makes more constrained writing possible? thanks.
