还行,给外国人还看比较合适,我觉得nothing much new.
评分非常赞的一本书,二十年前的中国,从上海合肥河南宁夏新疆西藏,东部主要体现地方政权问题,西部主要是宗教民族问题,采访部分挺到位。书中多次提到了8九,河殇,对中国人的性格刻画倒是挺生动。个人觉得比country driving好很多,可惜作者在网上的信息不多.....
评分With more than 1/3 of the book devoted to the less traveled west China, the author recorded intriguing observations on the political, social, economic and ethnic transitions spawning along the backbone Route 312. His non-condescending humor, pictorial narration and well-researched historical account made him not just another “ocean people” wondering around the places of interests, but a traveler with genuine interests in figuring out how China people could muddle through the journey of modernity with modest prosperity, harmonious diversity and, most importantly, long-lost cultural identity.
评分留日后拍马屁用
评分With more than 1/3 of the book devoted to the less traveled west China, the author recorded intriguing observations on the political, social, economic and ethnic transitions spawning along the backbone Route 312. His non-condescending humor, pictorial narration and well-researched historical account made him not just another “ocean people” wondering around the places of interests, but a traveler with genuine interests in figuring out how China people could muddle through the journey of modernity with modest prosperity, harmonious diversity and, most importantly, long-lost cultural identity.
Route 312 is the Chinese Route 66. It flows three thousand miles from east to west, passing through the factory towns of the coastal areas, through the rural heart of China, then up into the Gobi Desert, where it merges with the Old Silk Road. The highway witnesses every part of the social and economic revolution that is turning China upside down.
In this utterly surprising and deeply personal book, acclaimed National Public Radio reporter Rob Gifford, a fluent Mandarin speaker, takes the dramatic journey along Route 312 from its start in the boomtown of Shanghai to its end on the border with Kazakhstan. Gifford reveals the rich mosaic of modern Chinese life in all its contradictions, as he poses the crucial questions that all of us are asking about China: Will it really be the next global superpower? Is it as solid and as powerful as it looks from the outside? And who are the ordinary Chinese people, to whom the twenty-first century is supposed to belong?
Gifford is not alone on his journey. The largest migration in human history is taking place along highways such as Route 312, as tens of millions of people leave their homes in search of work. He sees signs of the booming urban economy everywhere, but he also uncovers many of the country’s frailties, and some of the deep-seated problems that could derail China’s rise.
The whole compelling adventure is told through the cast of colorful characters Gifford meets: garrulous talk-show hosts and ambitious yuppies, impoverished peasants and tragic prostitutes, cell-phone salesmen, AIDS patients, and Tibetan monks. He rides with members of a Shanghai jeep club, hitchhikes across the Gobi desert, and sings karaoke with migrant workers at truck stops along the way.
As he recounts his travels along Route 312, Rob Gifford gives a face to what has historically, for Westerners, been a faceless country and breathes life into a nation that is so often reduced to economic statistics. Finally, he sounds a warning that all is not well in the Chinese heartlands, that serious problems lie ahead, and that the future of the West has become inextricably linked with the fate of 1.3 billion Chinese people.
“Informative, delightful, and powerfully moving . . . Rob Gifford’s acute powers of observation, his sense of humor and adventure, and his determination to explore the wrenching dilemmas of China’s explosive development open readers’ eyes and reward their minds.”
–Robert A. Kapp, president, U.S.-China Business Council, 1994-2004
I've been reading quite a lot of books on China, not simply because I love this country, but I've never had a unified opinion about China. My own attitude towards China has always been self-contradictory. This travelogue just echoes my confusion with lively...
评分美国全国公共广播电台(NPR)驻华记者Rob Gifford即将调离岗位,美国的编辑问他是否愿意去耶路撒冷做记者。他考虑许久后说,算了。那个时候,他已经预计到,在耶路撒冷报道巴以冲突将会是在一个循环反复的百年故事里打转。他告诉他的编辑,中国,相较之下,她的故事有一种线性...
评分与照片上相比,Rob Gifford留着大胡子,看上去有些老,让人疑心是他的哥哥来了。跟几个月前贝淡宁(Daniel A. Bell)的号召力差不多,他昨晚在北京书虫的见面会吸引了众多读者,好些人是站着听完的。作为美国NPR电台的英国记者,Gifford不像贝淡宁那样文弱的书生,声音大,也更...
