写这篇读后感真不容易,第一次没有设邮箱且直接在豆瓣线上写完点击发送后直接审核不通过的感觉是崩溃的。何伟的几本书为什么出版会有问题,为什么港台版本不同我能够理解了。 切入正题,这本书非常推荐阅读,我以前看的时候就翻了好几遍,何伟虽然不是什么伟大的作家,但是他写...
评分《江城》中,何伟写到的最后一场冲突发生在他离开涪陵之前。他和同事亚当想拍一些片子,作为他们曾经在这个小城生活过见证。他们想拍下一切关于涪陵的记忆,他们走过的街道,生活过的校园,交往的学生,结交的朋友,还有那些依然生活在这里的普通人。何伟原本以为,普通人很难...
评分那一年我大三,在成都的一所高校上学。一次短暂的假期,坐大巴车到了重庆,在城市漫无目的的晃荡了一天之后,在朝天门广场买了一张到武汉的船票。船在黄昏时分起航,码头上是拥挤的人群。我所在的二等舱有四个铺位。其他三个铺位的主人是从贵州来三峡旅游的女人。那是我第...

评分看这本书的时候,我的感受有点奇怪,因为我感觉到自己的思路明显是和Peter站在一边的。简单的说,我在他的书看到了以前的自己,而现在的我一直用一种带有西方价值观的思维方式去审视过去的,包括以前的教育和在这个教育体制下产生的我。虽然我并不来自四川,但是书里面提到的...

A New York Times Notable Book
Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize
In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.
Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.
Damn it's been around 20 years since the first edition came out...Even a Chinese like me found the mindsets of people at that time bizarre to some extent. What massive changes have taken place all over the nation... Yet some problems, or say the national ethos, remain unchanged, such as the pragmatism, the sole focus of life on earning money, etc.
评分已经是上个世纪的过去了
评分纪实系列的第五本。看这本书的时间拖得太长了,有点懈怠。整体印象是细致,诚恳,幽默和讽刺!身在局中久了,难免一叶障目。局外人才能比较客观地评价和质疑。而我们自己也需要正视和珍惜身边的美!
评分过了将近10个月,终于断断续续地把这本书看完了。描写很细腻。笔触很真诚。
