Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity in recent decades, now ranking with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. This compelling book is the first to explore in detail the stories of neighborhoods destroyed, families uprooted, and life patterns lost to make way for the new Shanghai. Here we find the holdouts and protesters, men and women who have stubbornly resisted demolition and demanded justice. Qin Shao follows a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has held out in his home for a decade and become an amateur lawyer for other evictees; a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon. Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the relentless pursuit of growth and profit by the combined forces of corrupt power and money, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.

對幾個故事的描述很翔實
評分Intro+Xintiandi,看不下去瞭不是因為寫的不好而是因為太真實。想來自己還在淺薄地討論“為什麼城市設計的結果與最初的設計不一樣”這種沒什麼意義的問題時有多少人不明不白地就被趕齣瞭自己的傢園,心裏就很想嗬嗬瞭。藉的書裏,前麵一位讀者批注瞭滿書的bullshit,hehe以及f*k xxx,也是很有共鳴的批注瞭。
評分作者是曆史學者,故事都講得非常精彩,除瞭再次呈現權層的凶相,作者對阮儀三的不齒也在拷問著所謂的生活在語境中的知識分子。作者的傾嚮很明顯。但是在講故事之外,這樣“治當代史”似乎缺瞭一些東西,最後短短的幾頁總結在不同語境不同事件之間縱橫捭闔顯然是不夠的,尤其是類似的議題被研究得實在不算少,但基本都在作者的參考文獻之外。故事要用怎樣的框架來如何支撐纔能超越故事,需要做很多工作瞭。
