In his first book of stories since "The Bridegroom "was published in 2000 ("Finely wrought . . . Every story here is cut like a stone."--"Chicago Sun-Times"), National Book Award-winning Ha Jin gives us a collection that delves into the experience of Chinese immigrants in America. With the same profound attention to detail that is a hallmark of his previous acclaimed works of fiction, Ha Jin depicts here the full spectrum of immigrant life and the daily struggles--some minute, some grand--faced by these intriguing individuals. A lonely composer takes comfort in the antics of his girlfriend's parakeet; young children decide to change their names so that they might sound more "American," unaware of how deeply this will hurt their grandparents; a Chinese professor of English attempts to defect with the help of a reluctant former student. All of Ha Jin's characters struggle in situations that stir within them a desire to remain attached to be loyal to their homeland and its traditions as they explore and avail themselves of the freedom that life in a new country offers. In these stark, deeply moving, acutely insightful, and often strikingly humorous stories, we are reminded once again of the storytelling prowess of this superb writer.

评分2009年的书，记载的故事却像是20年前的。 读此书的时候，想起了那部在美国流传甚广的关于华人移民的电影《Saving Face》。 也许纵然每一代的移民都有着不同的挣扎，纠结是一定的。 作者的语言轻盈，叙事并不拖沓，一气呵成。 一个个短小的故事，平凡的人物，却牵动着我这个读...
