Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace's Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city's sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There's Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and cafe owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself but learns he's searching for something more. A tale of twenty-first-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China's distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.
Rob Schmitz is the China correspondent for American Public Media's Marketplace. He has won several awards for his reporting on China, including two national Edward R. Murrow Awards and an Education Writers Association Award. His work was also a finalist for the 2012 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award.

找到一本类似于江城的书,背景是上海。
评分很一般,写给外国人看的中国。不过我还蛮好奇这些内容按照现在这种审查形势中译版会删减多少?
评分后何伟时代一本有诚意的“西方人眼中的中国”。同样出自96级支教四川的和平队志愿者之手。能让魔都人民会心一笑的书名,也是我一开始抗拒这本书的原因--在“上只角”的长乐路恐怕难以对中国(哪怕只是上海)作一个客观解读。Rob Schmitz proved me wrong. 他挑选的大部分写作对象充满戏剧冲突,有个人命运被社会环境牵制的,也有善于弄潮的逆袭者。每个故事背后都是他想呈现给读者的当代中国剪影。也许因为我对subject matters太熟悉,觉得书中欠缺惊喜,但阅读过程还颇享受。结尾平淡了些,最终定调,是一本记者观察手记。3.5
评分这个城市有着多少一样又不一样的故事啊。
评分写得还挺好的,有熟悉的他国视角看同样的事情能看出不同来,但也能看出不沉浸在某一文化中很多文化中天经地义的事情就是理解不了,这同时是一种赐福也是一种悲哀吧
之前在花田网(网易出品的在线相亲网站)上,经常跟女生吹牛,自己如何看过一本美国人写上海的书,叫《长乐路》。“书里面的一个主人公,在长乐路上上开了一家餐馆,大众点评评分不错。“ 但说着说着就忘记了。之后没有再提起这本书,也没有去过长乐路。没去过主人公开的餐馆。...
评分 评分 评分 评分比起南京路、淮海路等这些耳熟能详的上海著名道路以外,长乐路似乎和绝大多数的上海老街道一样逐渐被人遗忘。 在长乐路上,上世纪三十年代兴建的上海最高的地标之一的锦江饭店逐渐成为一代人的符号,慢慢的消失在历史长河中。即便是新锦江饭店的出现也无法阻挡历史除了留存之外...
