具体描述
An eye-opening and previously untold story, Factory Girls is the first look into the everyday lives of the migrant factory population in China.
China has 130 million migrant workers—the largest migration in human history. In Factory Girls, Leslie T. Chang, a former correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Beijing, tells the story of these workers primarily through the lives of two young women, whom she follows over the course of three years as they attempt to rise from the assembly lines of Dongguan, an industrial city in China’s Pearl River Delta.
As she tracks their lives, Chang paints a never-before-seen picture of migrant life—a world where nearly everyone is under thirty; where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a mobile phone; where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. Chang takes us inside a sneaker factory so large that it has its own hospital, movie theater, and fire department; to posh karaoke bars that are fronts for prostitution; to makeshift English classes where students shave their heads in monklike devotion and sit day after day in front of machines watching English words flash by; and back to a farming village for the Chinese New Year, revealing the poverty and idleness of rural life that drive young girls to leave home in the first place. Throughout this riveting portrait, Chang also interweaves the story of her own family’s migrations, within China and to the West, providing historical and personal frames of reference for her investigation.
A book of global significance that provides new insight into China,Factory Girls demonstrates how the mass movement from rural villages to cities is remaking individual lives and transforming Chinese society, much as immigration to America’s shores remade our own country a century ago.

读后感
回到家以后意外地在房间的书柜上找到了这本书，看扉页上的字迹，这应当是自己高一时的读过的一本书。已经记不太清自己当时出于什么样的目的买下了这本书，只记得当时读完了很震撼很心酸。 前不久毛老师提到了这本书，恍然间想起自己曾经读过，而在当时的我看来 这本书的内容与...
评分 评分【把评价放在了解的后面】 任何一种记录都必定是主观的：面对信息量无限大的世界，对材料的观察、选择、呈现，每一个环节都无可避免地带着记录者的主观价值取向。所谓客观，指的是描述的事实能够同样被其他人观察到，表达的价值能够被更多的人认同。因此，写作者所追求的客观...
评分时隔多年，为了写作《1968，撞击世界的年代》，马克科兰斯基翻阅了几乎所有1968年报刊。他做出结论： 公平是可能的，但真正的客观则是不可能的。1968年的美国媒体以客观自居，它只是没觉察出自己有多么主观。 此言不虚。在以标榜“客观真实”和“我只记录我看到听到的”为职业...
评分（吐槽：排名前几的差评全是在扯淡，评论的出发点完全背离了作者写作的出发点。） 首先，必须承认这本书的局限性。书中的两个女孩绝对不能够代表整个务工群体，再有，能够同意让一个外国记者进入自己生活的打工女孩也绝对是个例。更多的人还是像作者最初在广场上遇到的那两个...
用户评价
和Peter Hessler的笔调很相似，也是典型的《纽约客》风格，个人视角出发的松散叙事加上偶尔的议论点缀其间。豆瓣上多苛评，大都认为此书缺乏深度以及有太鲜明的西方视角，其实都是不了解这类写作的特性。这本不是揭露，也没想要解答什么，只是通过展现细腻的画面，以平等的姿态带领读者去细心体察一个不熟悉的世界。写当代中国的书很少关注底层百姓的生活，中文著作尤其少。本书的写作已是非常出色了。加上Leslie Chang本人也有着丰富的经历和曲折的思想历程，这使此书又多一层值得关注的地方。
评分最初是在《读库》还是九点上看过节选
评分天涯水平。为什么从廉思的地摊文学《蚁族》到这种都能标记“社会学”。
评分用南周编辑@东方愚的话说：建议所有关注世界工厂话题的朋友们买本看看。作者Leslie T. Chang（张彤禾），是Peter Hessler（彼得 海斯勒）的老婆，这两人的观察力和文笔都很赞呀。
