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.

找不到阅读的版本，找到一个免费的语音版本，听完了英文的阅读。这个短片集哈金没有以中国为背景，故事都是发生在美国的纽约法拉盛，主角都是移民美国的中国人。
评分This collection is, as far as I'm concerned, below Ha Jin's average. What he wrote about the immigrant world in Flushing is more like a cliche than insight into the basic human condition that features his other masterpieces like "Waiting". Jin knows how to depict the human heart as it actually is, but this time, he chooses to do something else.
评分看了几个故事，最喜欢鹦鹉和作曲家那个
评分哈金很plain好像20世纪初英语翻译文学的简单语言，和flushing的移民，其实真是很般配的。故事很精彩，人工美女，婆媳关系，parenting ABC, long distance出轨，小教授被逼疯，怎么像坑怎么来。
