張彤禾(Leslie T. Chang),前《華爾街日報》駐北京記者,在中國生活瞭十年,專注於探察社會經濟轉型如何改變製度和個人的故事。她畢業於美國哈佛大學,曾在捷剋、中國香港、中國颱灣等地擔任記者;同時,也是《紐約客》、《國傢地理》等媒體的撰稿人。
她的丈夫彼得·海斯勒(何偉)同樣以描寫當代中國的非虛構作品而聞名,兩人目前定居於埃及開羅。
'Head and shoulders above almost all other new books about China, this unflinching and yearningly compassionate portrait of the lives and loves of ordinary Chinese workers is quite unforgettable' - Simon Winchester. Every year in China millions of migrant workers leave their rural towns to find jobs in the cities. These people are the driving forces behind China's economic boom: they work very hard and for little money to make the trainers, ornaments, designer handbags and toys which we buy. Through the lives of two young women, Chang vividly portrays a world where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a cell phone; where lying about your age, your education, and your work experience is often a requisite for getting ahead; and, where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. This is a powerful and humane portrait of the forces which are shaping China. 'Astonishing ...Heartbreaking ...As one tool in trying to understand today's China, this is a most valuable, if troubling read' - "Irish Times". 'Engrossing ...An exceptionally vivid and compassionate depiction of the day-to-day dramas, and the fears and aspirations, of the real people who are powering China's economic boom' - "Scotsman". 'Chang's elegant book is evidence that the best trips home often require a circuitous approach' - Nell Freudenberger, "Financial Times".
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...
評分我因在东莞住过一段时间,每当别人问起这段经历来时,总会咧嘴坏笑,让我介绍介绍。我也咧嘴坏笑,说起偶耳听来的传闻:东莞每位出租车司机都与几家酒店或桑拿中心保持业务往来,载客消费一次,可兑换积分。积分可以兑成钱,也可以存够额度自己消费。对方往往追问然后呢?——...
評分这几天看的两本书,张彤和著“factory girls” 以及吴飞著“浮生取义”,蓦然想来也有相似之处。两人都有中美两地的生活背景,两人都花了数年时间和当地人在一起,做了详实的观察,写作关于乡村人们的生活。 张彤和写她的家族,出生望族的祖父,留学返来,工业报国。落到政治...
評分說好瞭要送給碩的,在青島的最後一天終於看完瞭。提到瞭張彤禾祖父的身世,中文版河蟹掉瞭。
评分雖然是夫妻,雖然長在美國,但這書和何偉的角度也不完全一樣,尤其是寫到張傢的曆史時。我們總被教育要牢記曆史,現實裏卻總是在忘記,很多時候每個老人的離去都永遠地帶走瞭一段故事,曆史就隨著之慢慢被遺忘瞭。
评分前幾天買到的一本,閭丘露薇推薦的書。
评分總算讀完瞭。。。局外人看打工妹,另外其中還用瞭幾章寫瞭作者的傢族曆史,可以算是小驚喜。
评分還是太主觀。
