Liu Heng is one of contemporary China's most acclaimed and masterful writers, and with Green River Daydreams he has written "of the struggle between Western ideas and the old political system, all of it set against a supplely portrayed mountain and river landscape" (NPR's All Things Considered). Ears, the slave of a wealthy landowning family in the early twentieth century, bears witness to its spectacular corruption and decline. The family's prodigal son, Guanghan, returns from four years of study in Europe with a French engineer friend and a dream of starting a collectively run match factory, but has little interest in the bride his family has arranged for him. Her beauty and good heart have not gone unnoticed by Ears, however -- nor has her growing closeness to the Frenchman. Meanwhile, clashes between the Qing imperialists and the resistance are quickly becoming bloody -- and Guanghan's iconoclastic ideas do not remain free of suspicion for long. "[B]oth a coming-of-age story and a chronicle of the clash between forbidden love and duty." -- Publishers Weekly "A richly detailed realistic saga" -- Kirkus Reviews "A masterly blending of character and story in a compelling historical setting.... Highly recommended." -- Tom Cooper, Library Journal (starred review)

通過一個大傢族的僕人的視角寫瞭一些怪誕的故事,創意是好的,但看得人心裏憋得慌。突然發現我還是不大喜歡這類風格的東西,寫那些曾經有過的或者可能有的事情,太殘酷的,雖然知道生活本是如此,但還是難以接受。
評分端午節在山上,翻齣同事小時候的書,拍打掉灰塵。 一本文學雜誌《收獲》,看得津津有味。最後的長篇《蒼河白日夢》看下來,突然想起來不是有部電視劇《中國往事》,一開始就是老爺煮東西求長壽麼! 包括此篇,看過三篇這種曆史大命運紅塵滾滾的小說瞭。一個是明末清初的《硃...
評分從最近熱播的<中國往事>找到的這本書,網上找不到下載的,於是網購瞭書,等瞭足足一周纔到 因為從電視中隱隱覺得詭異,但又覺得情節安排常有脫軌或者不閤理的地方,當然演員也是一麵 文字是陰暗的,陰暗的隻讓我想到蘇童的<米>,而電視劇完全錶現不齣那種人心陰暗的層次 是用耳...

評分他的身份,注定瞭一生卑微。曹府的奴纔,縱然能耐有如孫猴子,也是難逃如來佛祖的五指山吧。那佛祖,即大宅門兒裏麵韆古不變的主僕尊卑,跨不過去的一道坎兒,仿佛永遠也變不成通途的天塹。 封建製度下的等級關係,堅硬頑強似被海浪衝擊的岩石,哪怕落敗瞭,主子仍舊是主子,而...
