Factory Girls meets The Vagina Monologues in this fascinating narrative on China's single women—and why they could be the source of its economic future.

Forty years ago, China enacted the one-child policy, only recently relaxed. Among many other unintended consequences, it resulted in both an enormous gender imbalance—with a predicted twenty million more men than women of marriage age by 2020—and China's first generations of only-daughters. Given the resources normally reserved for boys, these girls were pushed to study, excel in college, and succeed in careers, as if they were sons.

Now living in an economic powerhouse, enough of these women have decided to postpone marriage—or not marry at all—to spawn a label: "leftovers." Unprecedentedly well-educated and goal-oriented, they struggle to find partners in a society where gender roles have not evolved as vigorously as society itself, and where new professional opportunities have made women less willing to compromise their careers or concede to marriage for the sake of being wed. Further complicating their search for a mate, the vast majority of China's single men reside in and are tied to the rural areas where they were raised. This makes them geographically, economically, and educationally incompatible with city-dwelling 「leftovers,」 who also face difficulty in partnering with urban men, given the urban men's general preference for more dutiful, domesticated wives.

Part critique of China's paternalistic ideals, part playful portrait of the romantic travails of China's trailblazing women and their well-meaning parents who are anxious to see their daughters snuggled into traditional wedlock, Roseann Lake's Leftover in China focuses on the lives of four individual women against a backdrop of colorful anecdotes, hundreds of interviews, and rigorous historical and demographic research to show how these "leftovers" are the linchpin to China's future.

我是在2018年春节去加州旅行时偶然走进旧金山的一家小书店看到了当天晚上有关于中国剩女的读书分享会,于是当晚折回书店参加。本来以为可能是留美华人,后来发现作者竟然是位美国记者。交流中发现作者不仅中文流利,法语更好,西班牙语就更别说了。回来查了更多资料才知道,作...

Cliche, cliche and more cliche. Just because the author knows more abt China than the rest of the average Westerners doesnt justify her bigger ignorance. Too bad to see she still puts her observation abt China under the western microscope.

老生常谈, 竟然是访谈合集,不过是换种语言来支持人竟皆知的论点罢了。从相亲到同妻到女性教育到普世期待,都像Lit review。作者没有分享insight,实在鸡肋。

还行吧,就是外国人看我们自己明白的事。对中国人没太多意义,外国人看个新鲜。听完的。读的人中文真的很难听懂。

叙述有些乱,但是很多情节画面感很强,父母子女间的对话。另一种角度。
