如果说一两百年前中国在西方人眼里的典型形象是“停滞的帝国”,那么现在大概就趋于另一极端:一个不停快速变化的国度。悖论的是,可能由于生活在其中,或过于热爱速度,中国人自己对这个魔幻现实主义的中国,有时看得还不如外国人清楚。 和他的前两本著作《江城》、《甲骨文...
评分原帖地址http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_48b0d37b01017gcn.html 1 我刚做记者的时候,东方时空的制片人时间说过一句话,去现场采访的时候“要象外国人一样去看”。 他的意思是不要熟视无暏。 我以为自己听进去了,看一个美国人写的中国,才知道我对现实已经失去多少感觉。...
评分这本由纽约客驻京记者描述当代中国的非虚构文学作品,总共分成三个部分,分别是城墙、村庄,还有工厂。 我个人比较中意的是书的第二部分——村庄,因为比起城墙与工厂走马观花式的旅行笔记,村庄这部分更多的是在讲述与人的相处,而非仅仅透过建筑设施的更迭、环境的变迁,与沿...
评分终于断续读完何伟的“中国三部曲”,这个外国人笔下的中国,许多时候像在唤醒某些细碎而真切的注视和记忆,但偶尔又会有一种针扎般的刺痛感。这种阅读的感觉很迷人,我似乎已久不曾体会。 何伟自己的成长脉络,在三本书里清晰可见。从志愿教师、到兼职记者、到几乎什么身份都不...
评分我用视觉和嗅觉来读这本书。翻开第一页,嘿,我立即愉快地猜到作者何伟以往准给《美国国家地理》写过稿子,后来发现果然如此。这种文体对我再亲切不过了,我马上嗅到了特有的NG味儿,同时幻觉着翻开了那本明黄色框子的16页对开杂志。那些稿子带着露珠、烟尘,或者铺展着道路,...

From the bestselling author of Oracle Bones and River Town comes the final book in his award-winning trilogy, on the human side of the economic revolution in China. In the summer of 2001, Peter Hessler, the longtime Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker , acquired his Chinese driver's license. For the next seven years, he traveled the country, tracking how the automobile and improved roads were transforming China. Hessler writes movingly of the average people—farmers, migrant workers, entrepreneurs—who have reshaped the nation during one of the most critical periods in its modern history. Country Driving begins with Hessler's 7,000-mile trip across northern China, following the Great Wall, from the East China Sea to the Tibetan plateau. He investigates a historically important rural region being abandoned, as young people migrate to jobs in the southeast. Next Hessler spends six years in Sancha, a small farming village in the mountains north of Beijing, which changes dramatically after the local road is paved and the capital's auto boom brings new tourism. Finally, he turns his attention to urban China, researching development over a period of more than two years in Lishui, a small southeastern city where officials hope that a new government-built expressway will transform a farm region into a major industrial center. Peter Hessler, whom The Wall Street Journal calls "one of the Western world's most thoughtful writers on modern China," deftly illuminates the vast, shifting landscape of a traditionally rural nation that, having once built walls against foreigners, is now building roads and factory towns that look to the outside world.
Done in fits and starts>.< Stunned again by Peter's intensive observation and his perspective of being an viewer. His description really amazed me. Owing to his skilled elaboration, even the trifles seem no longer meaningless to me. I do think, what Peter does is the wildest dream of a journalist.
评分总说我是纪录片迷 看这样一本纪实文学就像一部好的纪录片 细节更准确 平实老百姓的故事 真实的最打动人吧 作者文笔是幽默的 但看完总觉得心里有些空 推荐英文版 中文删节太多 12年看过最喜欢的书
评分写京郊怀柔的部分真是看得人恋恋不舍. 语言和理解都了得,学到很多可能都无处可查的表述.相信中文版有很多删节.
评分太好玩了!作者写人写得真好,还把每一个人的名字都写出来,真的很在意受访者(不过这没问题么?),不过我还是很好奇他怎么能和这些人聊得如此深入啊。用另一个视角比如把钱都换成美元看事情非常不一样。非常非常推荐。
