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

Personally my deep love of this sentence makes it an intrinsic part of myself, and so does the author. But, still, I can not see the connection of this citation to the whole book. It is glued at the front and rear of the passage, but not being vivified. Ro...

这本书是一位住中国多年的英国记者Rob Gifford在离开中国前,根据他两次沿312国道从东向西横穿中国大陆的经历所写成的。心爱的姑娘介绍我看这本书时,说她从一个外国人的眼中,又重新了解了一次自己的祖国,感慨万千。看完这本书后我也有同感。 312国道东起上海,西止于中国哈...

留日后拍马屁用

最尼玛烦这种带有明显优越感的写作风格了。和何伟比起来,Rob还仅仅是个学生,差得远。作者明显的带有一种先入为主的道德判断,老外依旧无法读懂天朝的老毛病依旧存在。全书中记述很少,转述很多,然后被这种不知道正不正确的转述引发的所谓的独立思考来潜移默化凸显优越感。感想大篇而实际上老调重弹一点也没什么突破。Rob总是在以一种基于他们宗教情结下“白人至上”的典型保守主义心态来阅读中国。公正地说,和那些极度偏激的non-fiction相比,这部书还是保持了一种试图不左不右的立场,可惜的是作者自身的“保守主义”情节下,使得作者字里行间中充满道德标杆,因此他试图不偏不倚变成虚空。另外,全书中天朝特色词汇的英译值得学翻译的同学看看,除此之外,这只是一部写给外国人看并且迎合那些他们道德优越感的一本书而已。以上。

还行,给外国人还看比较合适,我觉得nothing much new.

果然是IR出身的作者...不能不说这些论调读多了有些没新意,而且很多似乎可以深入的话题只被简单几句采访带过,有点失望。

个人觉得齐福德被低估,他和何伟水平不相上下,只是后者更温和前者更尖刻——英国人绅士的一面死哪去啦?可惜俩人都不在中国了~
