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
1）潘毅、丁燕、张彤禾分别是社会学家、作家以及记者，从她们的写作中可以看到职业惯性对观察点的不同。潘毅更擅长透过一些侧面和细节总结理论，丁燕会讲语言较美的故事，张彤禾喜欢根据个人轨迹分析社会状态。她们三人的解读各有所长，都是很好的了解女工群体的资料。 2）潘...
评分中文版序言里说“我了解生活在举目无亲的地方那种孤独漂泊的感觉；我亲身感受到人轻易就会消失不见。但我更理解那种全新开始生活的快乐和自由。”我纳闷了，美国中产阶级移民二代的无根感慨和中国乡下打工女孩们为了填饱肚子而漂泊到中国南方打工的辛酸经历是一回事么？作者甚...
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leslie交叉叙述着东莞的生活以及她自己的家族史。两条主线里，她也交叉叙述着人生线的两头，关于东莞女工，是出走的家乡与容身的城市，而对于她自己的家族史，是从台湾美国延伸出去的那一头以及深植华北土地的另一头。 在她记录东莞女工生活的过程中，她不断发现她们作为新时...
评分我至今都无法忘记2011年的某个早上9点不到在陕西南路地铁站里发生的情景。 那是一个上海最普通的上班早高峰，时间接近9点，人流紧张、拥挤地从车厢涌出赶往市中心写字楼。陕西南路地铁站台上一个20多岁的男性农民工坐在站台的地板上，背靠着一根柱子，身边放着一个硕大的三色...
用户评价
Peter Hessler（何伟）和Leslie Chang夫妇的四本书（何伟三部：River Town《江城》、Oracle Bones《甲骨文》、Country Driving《寻路中国》加上这本）全部读毕，质量皆属上乘。据悉夫妇二人即将前往埃及，继续奋斗在第三世界。
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。
评分作者的祖父间接因朱令案最大犯罪嫌疑人孙维的爷爷孙越崎而死。孙家真是……呵呵呵呵
评分2012-04-03 到2013-01-01. 一开始觉得很无趣, 中间有一段写得真是漂亮, 后面又很无聊- 对于我这个中国人来说她写了太多常识了. 不过从另一个角度, 上学期学的讲美国梦的课然后假期看完这本讲中国的Immigrant workers的书非常合适.
评分跟country driving的peter hessler相比，这位作者似乎更缺乏同情心，对中国的现状更加厌恶？两人都试图把中国的情况做某种比方让西方（美国）读者更理解，不过两人选择的比喻undertone却是很不同。关于作者家庭的故事跟factory girls毫无关系，穿插的非常勉强。人物的故事不知道为什么不是从头讲到尾而是挑来跳去的。
