Paul Theroux left Victoria Station on a rainy Saturday in April thinking that taking eight trains across Europe, Eastern Europe, the USSR and Mongolia would be the easy way to get to the Chinese border - the relaxing way, even. He would read a little, take notes, eat regular meals and gaze contentedly out of windows. The reality, of course, was very different. In fact, Theroux experienced a decidedly odd and unexpected trip to China that set the challenging tone for his epic year-long rail journey around that vast, inscrutable land - a journey which involved riding nearly every train in the country. 'Wry, humorful and occasionally querulous...as Theroux makes excruciatingly clear, travelling alone in the Middle Kingdom is not for the faint of heart or stomach' - "Time".

There are many subjects and objects, but there are more humans. And it is only due to the excellent writing that objects can become humans. One of the best writings I’ve ever read.
评分看到后面就不太喜欢，作者卖弄点知识嘲笑点中国人，到处跟人谈文化大革命，就想找出来中国人没主见傻乎乎毛很差劲的观点，然后站在自己高于普通游客（确实不一样，有钱！）的立场上同情西藏，搞得他有多么懂一样，中国人世俗得很，白皮人也虚伪得很呢；作者一直强调86年的中国思潮是修修补补又三年，工人胳膊被机器吃掉，夸耀的是事后把胳膊缝回去而不是加强保护。然后又讲了类似的男性生殖器重建手术，类似增高疗法，修修补补还能用，就是看着真疼????
