The City of Heavenly Tranquility pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

When the world descends on Beijing for the 2008 Olympics, it will find the results of a helter skelter rush for modernization and wealth. In the course of a thousand years, temples and shrines, palaces, and gardens had filled the walls of old Peking. Its narrow, twisting streets held the collective memories of five dynasties and turbulent events of the 20th century. It has now all been swept away to make way for a new city filled with dull, boxy high rises, rows of shopping malls, office towers blocks, and residential housing developments marching down uniform streets. The City of Heavenly Tranquility explores how and why the Chinese buried their history and destroyed one of the world's most fabled cities, virtually extinguishing the culture of one of the greatest and oldest civilizations within the span of a single lifetime.

In a tour de force by a long time resident, British journalist Jasper Becker brings to life the strange and exotic lives of the emperors, eunuchs, courtesans, and warriors who for centuries ruled from behind the red walls of the Forbidden City. Becker mixes his own experiences with poignant stories from those who were destroyed in the tornado of destruction as they tried to rescue something from the past. Writing vividly and with passion, Becker shows how ruthless officials and a fiercely nationalistic government set itself the monumental mission to change the fabric of a nation - and succeeded. He also explains how those currently in power, Mao's former Red Guards, remain determined to modernize China by jettisoning the past and clearing space for the future, evicting over three million residents in Beijing alone.

北京有韆年城史，自明成祖遷都後的600年是一個相對穩定的時期，也是北京城市文化特點形成的時期。韆年積澱和六百年穩定之後，1949年成為瞭曆史的分水嶺。1949入城的新主人，對於國傢、社會和城市應該是什麼樣子的，自有一番見解和藍圖。掌握瞭絕對權力的新王朝，在整個民族期盼現代化、期盼甩掉貧窮落後帽子的焦慮情緒中，快刀斬亂麻地拆舊立新。作者當然是個對於曆史和過去，對於老北京曾有的那種獨特氣質深有感情的外國人。他的這種感情，在中國人看來也許會覺得有點一廂情願和飽漢不知餓漢飢：憑啥我們要保留這種有點原始和落後的城市麵貌和生活方式，為你們這些外國人留一個活標本呢？這本書記錄瞭北京的曆史，又花瞭更多時間揭露某黨的統治手段如何蠻不講理，總有點動機不純的感覺。

#還在讀，很有意思的一本書，外國人眼中的晚清。不是學術性的論文，可以算是本輕鬆讀物。圓明園，義和拳以及晚清的中國外交在中國的曆史讀本裏涉及甚淺，往往為一筆帶過或總扯上民族大義，成為愛國主義的範本，這本書的作者搜集瞭許多當時在京外國人的記述修補瞭這段模糊的曆史，也算是提供瞭一個新的角度來重看清朝的覆滅。且作者走訪瞭不少北京的老街老巷，一些現已不復存在，讀起來還是蠻心酸的==

在Bristol的小書店用2鎊價格買到的，和王軍的《城記》有一比。
