1. 当华尔街日报的叙事风格成为一种刻意的模仿,事实本身就失去了它本该具有的力量。 2. 何伟观察中国是在充分意识到自我的他者身份的同情之解读,而这本书只是在用作者的自我构建一个想象中的国度。 这次豆娘居然没说我的评论太短……
评分这几天看的两本书,张彤和著“factory girls” 以及吴飞著“浮生取义”,蓦然想来也有相似之处。两人都有中美两地的生活背景,两人都花了数年时间和当地人在一起,做了详实的观察,写作关于乡村人们的生活。 张彤和写她的家族,出生望族的祖父,留学返来,工业报国。落到政治...
评分花了一个星期读完。老实说,最初买它,是因为写它的作者是何伟的老婆。何伟就是那个写了《江城》和《寻路中国》的家伙。在我有限的阅读经验中,像他那么认真,花大力气不停跟踪一个地方、采访的人不多。也是读他的书的时候,我想起了之前看过的《八月炮火》、《史迪威与美国在...
评分我至今都无法忘记2011年的某个早上9点不到在陕西南路地铁站里发生的情景。 那是一个上海最普通的上班早高峰,时间接近9点,人流紧张、拥挤地从车厢涌出赶往市中心写字楼。陕西南路地铁站台上一个20多岁的男性农民工坐在站台的地板上,背靠着一根柱子,身边放着一个硕大的三色...

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.
许多段落和句子有累赘之嫌,结构显得略混乱,几度读得不耐烦。事实不偏,但还是看得出角度的主观。中译本被删掉的有关她家族史的章节相当吸引人!几乎成为全书我最爱的部分。还是她老公写得好看些。
评分详细真实的社会调查加上家族史,非常好看。具体的看到一个个农村出来的女孩子来到珠三角丛林面对每棵树后头都躲着肉食动物的环境如何生存,也切实的看到政府怎样大撒把,收了税不提供任何服务,也是中国特色吧
评分作者的祖父间接因朱令案最大犯罪嫌疑人孙维的爷爷孙越崎而死。孙家真是……呵呵呵呵
评分Vivid and earnest, though not very deep. The two deleted chapters in the Chinese version really highlight the book.
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.
