In 1996, 26-year-old Peter Hessler arrived in Fuling, a town on China's Yangtze River, to begin a two-year Peace Corps stint as a teacher at the local college. Along with fellow teacher Adam Meier, the two are the first foreigners to be in this part of the Sichuan province for 50 years. Expecting a calm couple of years, Hessler at first does not realize the social, cultural, and personal implications of being thrust into a such radically different society. In River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze, Hessler tells of his experience with the citizens of Fuling, the political and historical climate, and the feel of the city itself.

"Few passengers disembark at Fuling ... and so Fuling appears like a break in a dream--the quiet river, the cabins full of travelers drifting off to sleep, the lights of the city rising from the blackness of the Yangtze," says Hessler. A poor city by Chinese standards, the students at the college are mainly from small villages and are considered very lucky to be continuing their education. As an English teacher, Hessler is delighted with his students' fresh reactions to classic literature. One student says of Hamlet, "I don't admire him and I dislike him. I think he is too sensitive and conservative and selfish." Hessler marvels,

You couldn't have said something like that at Oxford. You couldn't simply say: I don't like Hamlet because I think he's a lousy person. Everything had to be more clever than that ... you had to dismantle it ... not just the play itself but everything that had ever been written about it.

Over the course of two years, Hessler and Meier learn more they ever guessed about the lives, dreams, and expectations of the Fuling people.

Hessler's writing is lovely. His observations are evocative, insightful, and often poignant--and just as often, funny. It's a pleasure to read of his (mis)adventures. Hessler returned to the U.S. with a new perspective on modern China and its people. After reading River Town, you'll have one, too. --Dana Van Nest, Amazon.com

读后感

读《江城》的时候,想起两组摄影,骆丹的318国道系列和严明的大国志。在初初看这两组摄影时,会有轻微不适,好像自身是局外人,他们镜头里的中国不再是我熟知的那个国度,更像是异次元空间,荒诞,充斥着各种象征和反讽,如果硬要用一个标准性的词来定性,应该是魔幻现实主义。...

昨晚在一个狠文艺的书店里遇见了何伟的《江城》,说实话我没想到这本书居然获准在大陆出版。而让我惭愧万分的是,当我买回家读完这本书的时候才发现这是它自2012年2月出版以来的第四次加印,我买的是第7万册到第10万册中的一本---如果再刷半年微博,估计我连第五版都会错过了。...

写这篇读后感真不容易,第一次没有设邮箱且直接在豆瓣线上写完点击发送后直接审核不通过的感觉是崩溃的。何伟的几本书为什么出版会有问题,为什么港台版本不同我能够理解了。 切入正题,这本书非常推荐阅读,我以前看的时候就翻了好几遍,何伟虽然不是什么伟大的作家,但是他写...
