Yu Hua is the author of four novels, six collections of stories, and three essay collections. In 2002, he became the first Chinese writer to win the James Joyce Foundation Award. His novel Brothers was short-listed for the Man Asian Prize and awarded France’s Prix Courrier International, and To Live was awarded Italy’s Premio Grinzane Cavour. Yu Hua lives in Beijing.
From one of China’s most acclaimed writers, his first work of nonfiction available in English: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last thirty years, told through personal stories and astute analysis that sharply illuminate his country’s meteoric transformation.
Framed by ten phrases common in the Chinese vernacular—“people,” “leader,” “reading,” “writing,” “Lu Xun” (the name of one of the most influential Chinese writers of the twentieth century), “disparity,” “revolution,” “grassroots,” “copycat,” and “bamboozle”—China in Ten Words reveals as never before the world’s most populous yet misunderstood nation. “Disparity” illustrates the mind-boggling economic gaps that separate Chinese citizens. “Copycat” depicts the escalating trends of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And “Bamboozle” describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, Yu Hua suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society.
Characterized by Yu Hua’s trademark wit, insight, and courage, China in Ten Words is a refreshingly candid vision of the “Chinese miracle” and all its consequences, from the singularly invaluable perspective of a writer—among China’s most influential—living in China today.

像以往讀過的餘華的小說一樣,很多情節非常能抓住人的情緒,即使翻譯成英文亦是如此。全書沒有特彆的驚喜,設定的讀者應該是外國朋友。 作者用10個詞來概括中國,每一個都包含他個人的故事與時代背景的結閤,從大躍進到文革到改革開放再到北京奧運會,其中最多的還是文革時期(...
評分很少有中國人寫文章這樣的總結中國。這本書的架構就是用十個詞來描述中國,故事講得不錯,很有曆史年代的代入感,分的也很清楚。 問題就是翻譯。有的地方翻譯的,感覺非常的生硬,甚至是不知所雲,給閱讀帶來瞭很大的障礙。

評分這本書給我的感覺很奇怪,看的時候突然會有很多的感悟,看完瞭反而覺得沒什麼要寫的瞭。我這個人不喜歡政治,我喜歡科學喜歡物理,科學總是透過現象看本質,把復雜的問題簡單化,最後用一個優雅的公式讓我拍案稱奇;然而政治,政治總是喜歡把簡單的問題復雜化,復雜到你透過現...
圖書標籤: 餘華 中國 社會 思想 曆史,真象 英文原版 China 英語
英文版裏麵趣味多!!!
評分原文太過樸實語言幾乎無亮點,當然這種紀實性的作品也不需要過度復雜的詞句,可惜讀到最後也隻像是聽瞭十個簡單的故事,它沒能讓我想起什麼
評分感覺翻譯得很好。寫瞭很多發生在文革啊、所謂的“三年自然災害”期間的故事,看著真是心酸,也恨,難怪在國內被禁瞭。看到後頭覺得這10個字有點牽強,也可能是我自己沒體會到人傢的深意吧。。。。
評分果然前五個詞匯寫的比較生動,尤其閱讀與寫作兩篇,情感傾注,後麵五個略為零散,但將“山寨”文化的語義擴大化還是頗有深意。
