A New York Times Notable Book
Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize
In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.
Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.
Peter Hessler is a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he served as the Beijing correspondent from 2000 to 2007, and is also a contributing writer for National Geographic. He is the author of River Town, which won the Kiriyama Prize; Oracle Bones, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and, most recently, Country Driving. He won the 2008 National Magazine Award for excellence in reporting, and he was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. He lives in Cairo.
比起《尋路中國》, 我更喜歡《江城》. 無論如何, 《江城》是何偉的親身經曆和感受, 一個外國人如何適應接受一個陌生的環境. 《尋路中國》的何偉也許更"中國通", 太客觀的描寫製造瞭距離, 而描述的生活在我這個中國人看來又很平常.
評分比尋路中國更稚嫩,更文青氣,更draft,更率性,揉進瞭更大段的主觀感受。格式迥異的各章節,零落記錄在涪陵的街頭、鄉村、校園裏的見聞和經曆。以個體故事,見時代背景。這是27歲的Howei,在1997年的涪陵。涪陵1997和中國2020相比,太多事情有瞭變化(當然很多事情仍一成不變,甚至更糟瞭),以至於我而言,顯得有些遙遠。反倒是1997年的何偉,跨越23年,和此刻作為讀者的我年紀相仿,閱讀過程中,由此不斷産生親近感和代入感。讀的英文原版,比中文體驗要更好,畢竟在語言上,就天然地離Howei1997更近瞭。
評分Damn it's been around 20 years since the first edition came out...Even a Chinese like me found the mindsets of people at that time bizarre to some extent. What massive changes have taken place all over the nation... Yet some problems, or say the national ethos, remain unchanged, such as the pragmatism, the sole focus of life on earning money, etc.
評分過瞭將近10個月,終於斷斷續續地把這本書看完瞭。描寫很細膩。筆觸很真誠。
評分If you want to read a book about 90s's China,that is this one.You can find out that many things have changed a lot,whilesomething'sremain there,in Fuling,in Sichuan or even in China

評分一本《寻路中国》让何伟在中国知识圈炙手可热,几乎登上了每一家我所见到的媒体。这本《River Town》则记录了第一次来中国时的青涩感观。《寻路中国》之所以一石激起千层浪,是因为他给了我国人一种旁观者的视角来反躬自省,书中令我们眼前一亮、心头一颤的论断遍地皆是,仿佛...
評分尽管一开始就知道这本书不是死板的社会学研究或自以为是的个人游记,但还是没想到会这么好,好到在我整个看的过程中,心始终是沉着的。心沉不沉,几乎成了我判别东西好坏的唯一标准了。比如随便刷一下微信朋友圈,你都能找到一千篇胡扯中国社会的文章,一般都无需看内容,标题...
評分他在具有虔诚信仰的家庭中长大,他具有虔诚的信仰。他在大学里学文学,他痛恨文学被可怕的教育体制和文学评论撕裂和肢解,失去了原来的优美。 他的梦想,是成为一个作家,但是在此之前,他想看看遥远的国度,也想为了他的信仰做一些工作。于是他选择作为一个志愿者,登上了去...
