評分艾禮凱這小夥蠻低調,雖然有個好爸爸(全球著名公知Timothy Garton Ash)但從來沒怎麼利用過,自己開的文學站點the Anthill也是有聲有色十分接地氣(個人最愛之一),希望以後能齣更多有趣的作品
評分light 4/5 Although WL does not serve an exhaustive take on lives of post-80s/90s Chinese, if that is ever possible, by focusing mainly on six characters some of whom I find really unrelatable, it is an admirable achievement nonetheless. Both a curious introduction to Chinese culture(s) for foreigners and an elegy to lost youth for the rest of us.
評分超級好看,超級真實,超級搞笑。作者對中國年輕人生活瞭解十分透徹,遠超乎我的意料。
Alec Ash is a writer and journalist in Beijing.
He studied English literature at Oxford University. After graduating he taught in a Tibetan village in western China for a summer, before moving to Beijing in 2008.
His articles have been published in The Economist, Prospect, Dissent and Foreign Policy among others. He is a blogger for the Los Angeles Review of Books, a contributing author to the book of reportage Chinese Characters, and founder of the Anthill, a writers' colony of stories from China.
The youth are the generation that will change China. There are over 320 million in their teens and twenties, more than the population of the USA. Born after Mao, natives of a nation on the rise, they are destined to have an unprecedented influence on global affairs.
These millennials, offspring of the only child policy, face fierce competition and pressure to succeed. Dislocated from their country’s tumultuous past, they are caught between tradition and modernity. Their struggles are also the same as those of young people all over the world: moving out of home, starting a career, falling in love.
Wish Lanterns tells the stories of six young Chinese. Dahai is a military child and a rebel; ‘Fred’ is a daughter of the Party. Lucifer is an aspiring superstar; Snail a country migrant addicted to online gaming. Xiaoxiao is a hipster from the freezing north; and Mia a skinhead fashionista from Xinjiang in the far west.
This book combines the stories of six Chinese, born across China in between 1985 to 1990, and follows them in their lives until 2015. At times, Ash's writing is incredibly sharp, but his style alternates as if the blend of six into one isn't a seamless one....
