从乌鲁木齐路向东走,第一个地点是位于汇贤居南侧“陈市长”的麦琪里,记得作者写到从汇贤居往下看南侧是一大片的空白荒地,几年过去了,不知道还是不是这样。 从乌鲁木齐路向南走到安福路,南侧道路立着一排围墙,里面依旧是荒地,围墙上面已经换了标语“上善若水常处下,至德...
评分 评分 评分 评分去年和闺蜜在上海游荡了两天,宾馆不远处有个商场,边上有一条路,夜晚我们两游荡的时候就感叹,这路的两边天差地别,一边是繁华大都市的色彩,一边是荒凉废墟的灰白,最后我们感叹,不管怎样,两边都很值钱。 不知道是不是所有的人都向往过去上海,去看看繁华,去看看纸醉金迷...

Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace's Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city's sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There's Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and cafe owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself but learns he's searching for something more. A tale of twenty-first-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China's distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.
长乐路上无“长乐”,这哪里是“长乐”路,分明是长恨歌
评分文字很好读 记录忠实 抒情不多 评判也少 我很喜欢叙事线索里生出的枝蔓 没有给人“掉书袋”的感觉 按欧逸文的推荐语 "a patient portrait of an impatient country"
评分“批判性”比何伟和梅英东都强,可能是因为故事就发生在上海,被迫拿掉“发生在遥远落后地区”的保护罩,读者必须直面这个国家过去与现在面临的一切问题。
评分# myfirstEnglishliteraturework A portrait of contemporary China. While uncommon and even exotic to foreign readers, the stories are nothing new to Chinese readers, especially those who are interested in sociological or anthropological studies. What I learn from the work about nonfiction writting is--details, and more details. 细节在这儿不仅是描述,还是作者的议论和情感。
评分一座城几十年的发展血泪竟然在一条街上反映的这么清楚。读完沿着长乐路走了一次,越长大越觉得 生活了这么多年的地方一瞬一瞬,翻天覆地的变了
