張彤禾(Leslie T. Chang),前《華爾街日報》駐北京記者,在中國生活瞭十年,專注於探察社會經濟轉型如何改變製度和個人的故事。她畢業於美國哈佛大學,曾在捷剋、中國香港、中國颱灣等地擔任記者;同時,也是《紐約客》、《國傢地理》等媒體的撰稿人。
她的丈夫彼得·海斯勒(何偉)同樣以描寫當代中國的非虛構作品而聞名,兩人目前定居於埃及開羅。
'Head and shoulders above almost all other new books about China, this unflinching and yearningly compassionate portrait of the lives and loves of ordinary Chinese workers is quite unforgettable' - Simon Winchester. Every year in China millions of migrant workers leave their rural towns to find jobs in the cities. These people are the driving forces behind China's economic boom: they work very hard and for little money to make the trainers, ornaments, designer handbags and toys which we buy. Through the lives of two young women, Chang vividly portrays a world where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a cell phone; where lying about your age, your education, and your work experience is often a requisite for getting ahead; and, where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. This is a powerful and humane portrait of the forces which are shaping China. 'Astonishing ...Heartbreaking ...As one tool in trying to understand today's China, this is a most valuable, if troubling read' - "Irish Times". 'Engrossing ...An exceptionally vivid and compassionate depiction of the day-to-day dramas, and the fears and aspirations, of the real people who are powering China's economic boom' - "Scotsman". 'Chang's elegant book is evidence that the best trips home often require a circuitous approach' - Nell Freudenberger, "Financial Times".

中文版序言裏說“我瞭解生活在舉目無親的地方那種孤獨漂泊的感覺;我親身感受到人輕易就會消失不見。但我更理解那種全新開始生活的快樂和自由。”我納悶瞭,美國中産階級移民二代的無根感慨和中國鄉下打工女孩們為瞭填飽肚子而漂泊到中國南方打工的辛酸經曆是一迴事麼?作者甚...
評分“我所認識的工廠女孩從未因為自己生為女孩就埋怨上蒼。父母也許更喜歡兒子,老闆也許更喜歡漂亮的女秘書,招聘廣告也許會有公開的性彆歧視,然而工廠女孩都從容地對待著這些不公。在東莞超過三年的時間裏,我從未聽到任何一個人像女權主義者那樣錶達自己的情緒。也許她們認為...
評分 評分1)潘毅、丁燕、張彤禾分彆是社會學傢、作傢以及記者,從她們的寫作中可以看到職業慣性對觀察點的不同。潘毅更擅長透過一些側麵和細節總結理論,丁燕會講語言較美的故事,張彤禾喜歡根據個人軌跡分析社會狀態。她們三人的解讀各有所長,都是很好的瞭解女工群體的資料。 2)潘...
評分這幾天看的兩本書,張彤和著“factory girls” 以及吳飛著“浮生取義”,驀然想來也有相似之處。兩人都有中美兩地的生活背景,兩人都花瞭數年時間和當地人在一起,做瞭詳實的觀察,寫作關於鄉村人們的生活。 張彤和寫她的傢族,齣生望族的祖父,留學返來,工業報國。落到政治...

假期裏唯一讀完的一本書,說實在的對外國人瞭解中國會有幫助,但對於中國人來說沒有任何新東西。factory girls的人生經曆還是挺有趣的。寫作方式和何偉很象,但不如何偉有幽默感。
