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.

長樂路,是上海中心城區一條長約3.2公裏的馬路。美國記者史明智在此居住瞭六年,融入當地的生活,見證個中命運顛沛。此前,史明智曾與美國知名廣播節目叫闆,蓋因後者對富士康工廠的報道失實,此舉為史明智贏得瞭“調查記者與編輯”奬。而《長樂路》一書足以被授予另一項勇氣大...
評分從烏魯木齊路嚮東走,第一個地點是位於匯賢居南側“陳市長”的麥琪裏,記得作者寫到從匯賢居往下看南側是一大片的空白荒地,幾年過去瞭,不知道還是不是這樣。 從烏魯木齊路嚮南走到安福路,南側道路立著一排圍牆,裏麵依舊是荒地,圍牆上麵已經換瞭標語“上善若水常處下,至德...
評分 評分所有的人對於未來的不確定讓我們對即將撲麵而來的未來既充滿希望,又充斥焦慮和不安。讓我們姑且虔誠的相信:這個世界也許會好,也許不好,但至少不算壞。 《長樂路》英文原著名《Street of eternal happiness》,其實是作者史明智(Rob Schmitz)一個饒有意味的譯名,意為長長...

總是帶著點美國式的居高臨下的feel,不過確實也寫齣瞭一些國人習以為常,外人覺得不可思議的點。中文版刪減瞭太多東西,這個時候體現齣會英語的好處瞭。
評分寫得還挺好的,有熟悉的他國視角看同樣的事情能看齣不同來,但也能看齣不沉浸在某一文化中很多文化中天經地義的事情就是理解不瞭,這同時是一種賜福也是一種悲哀吧
評分何偉之後推薦的三個作傢之一。其他兩個是張彥(Ian Johnson)和梅英東(Michael Meyer)
評分中文版也能看,沒改太多
評分應該可以媲美尋路中國吧
