上海,亮堂堂的民生美术馆,在数十款詹姆士·邦德电影海报的包围下,张彤禾被粉丝包围得死死的。她一直在忙于签名,为她的新书——《factory girls》简体中文版《打工女孩》签名。打工女孩,尽管不是叫打工妹,但其内里的偏见依然让我感到不舒服。我更喜欢繁体版的翻译《工厂女...
评分回到家以后意外地在房间的书柜上找到了这本书,看扉页上的字迹,这应当是自己高一时的读过的一本书。已经记不太清自己当时出于什么样的目的买下了这本书,只记得当时读完了很震撼很心酸。 前不久毛老师提到了这本书,恍然间想起自己曾经读过,而在当时的我看来 这本书的内容与...
评分书里的三个打工妹几乎属于同一类人:有野心、很幸运、小有成功。这类人在打工妹的比例中并不高。残酷的竞争和资源匮乏,最终会使大多数打工者败下阵来,变成甘受命运摆布的人。而且她们奋斗的时间越久,就越发现自己回不了家。甚至觉得在城市生活潦倒也比一辈子滞留在单调乏味...

An eye-opening and previously untold story, Factory Girls is the first look into the everyday lives of the migrant factory population in China.
China has 130 million migrant workers—the largest migration in human history. In Factory Girls, Leslie T. Chang, a former correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Beijing, tells the story of these workers primarily through the lives of two young women, whom she follows over the course of three years as they attempt to rise from the assembly lines of Dongguan, an industrial city in China’s Pearl River Delta.
As she tracks their lives, Chang paints a never-before-seen picture of migrant life—a world where nearly everyone is under thirty; where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a mobile phone; where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. Chang takes us inside a sneaker factory so large that it has its own hospital, movie theater, and fire department; to posh karaoke bars that are fronts for prostitution; to makeshift English classes where students shave their heads in monklike devotion and sit day after day in front of machines watching English words flash by; and back to a farming village for the Chinese New Year, revealing the poverty and idleness of rural life that drive young girls to leave home in the first place. Throughout this riveting portrait, Chang also interweaves the story of her own family’s migrations, within China and to the West, providing historical and personal frames of reference for her investigation.
A book of global significance that provides new insight into China,Factory Girls demonstrates how the mass movement from rural villages to cities is remaking individual lives and transforming Chinese society, much as immigration to America’s shores remade our own country a century ago.
又是一本我希望是我写的书。She reminds me that it takes patience, research and love to write a good book.
评分跟country driving的peter hessler相比,这位作者似乎更缺乏同情心,对中国的现状更加厌恶?两人都试图把中国的情况做某种比方让西方(美国)读者更理解,不过两人选择的比喻undertone却是很不同。关于作者家庭的故事跟factory girls毫无关系,穿插的非常勉强。人物的故事不知道为什么不是从头讲到尾而是挑来跳去的。
评分2012-04-03 到2013-01-01. 一开始觉得很无趣, 中间有一段写得真是漂亮, 后面又很无聊- 对于我这个中国人来说她写了太多常识了. 不过从另一个角度, 上学期学的讲美国梦的课然后假期看完这本讲中国的Immigrant workers的书非常合适.
评分感觉很奇怪,不太喜欢......
