An eye-opening and previously untold story, Factory Girls is the first look into the everyday lives of the migrant factory population in China.
China has 130 million migrant workers—the largest migration in human history. In Factory Girls , Leslie T. Chang, a former correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Beijing, tells the story of these workers primarily through the lives of two young women, whom she follows over the course of three years as they attempt to rise from the assembly lines of Dongguan, an industrial city in China’s Pearl River Delta.
As she tracks their lives, Chang paints a never-before-seen picture of migrant life—a world where nearly everyone is under thirty; where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a mobile phone; where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. Chang takes us inside a sneaker factory so large that it has its own hospital, movie theater, and fire department; to posh karaoke bars that are fronts for prostitution; to makeshift English classes where students shave their heads in monklike devotion and sit day after day in front of machines watching English words flash by; and back to a farming village for the Chinese New Year, revealing the poverty and idleness of rural life that drive young girls to leave home in the first place. Throughout this riveting portrait, Chang also interweaves the story of her own family’s migrations, within China and to the West, providing historical and personal frames of reference for her investigation.
A book of global significance that provides new insight into China, Factory Girls demonstrates how the mass movement from rural villages to cities is remaking individual lives and transforming Chinese society, much as immigration to America’s shores remade our own country a century ago.
Leslie T. Chang lived in China for a decade as a correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, specializing in stories that explored how socioeconomic change is transforming institutions and individuals. Her first book, Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China, traces the lives of two young women from the countryside who work in a factory city in South China, interwoven with her own family history of migrations within China and to the West. The book was published in 2008 by Spiegel & Grau, a Random House imprint. Factory Girls was named a New York Times Notable Book and one of the best books of the year by many publications. Chang is a recipient of a PEN USA Literary Award and an Asian American Literary Award.
A graduate of Harvard University with a degree in American History and Literature, Chang has also worked as a journalist in the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. She was raised outside New York City by immigrant parents who forced her to attend Saturday-morning Chinese school, for which she is now grateful.
She and her husband, writer Peter Hessler, moved back to the United States in 2007. They live in a small town in southwestern Colorado that has one Chinese restaurant.
以幾位東莞打工妹為切入,描繪農民工的日常生活與酸甜苦辣及一個飛速發展中的社會的光怪陸離,種種比喻相當精準幽默,筆下人物逆境中的堅韌不拔與足智多謀令人欽佩。作者傢族史深邃迷人,但似與當代農民工聯係不大。

評分作者在東莞觀察多年,並與兩位來莞女民工進行瞭深入交流,後寫成此書。書中所展現的女民工形象和我的刻闆印象很不同,這些女民工學曆不高,社會地位更不高,但她們卻齣乎意料地上進,追求知識,渴望提升(雖然這種行為的驅動力更多是對權力與金錢的欲求)。以前我從未想到女民工在外工作竟與其在傢裏的地位如此正相關,也未思考過在東莞這個世界工廠中民工們如何解決戀愛問題,當然更不會想到鄉村風俗民工思維與文革曆史之關係,而這些我未有之思考,作者已經幫我開啓。最後想吐槽一下:我還是認為,作者的傢族史與此書主題關聯不大,突兀又纍贅。PS:此書購於北京王府井書店,如果沒有代金券,我不可能在實體書店買書,更不可能買下一本英文原版書,屌絲真真如我……(ㄒoㄒ)
評分讀完也沒看懂作者傢族史與主題的關係……兩個距離太遙遠瞭……

我们这一代人终将感到悔恨,不仅仅因为坏人的可憎言行,更因为好人的可怕沉默。 ——马丁·路德·金《伯明翰狱中书信》 这本书除了讲在工厂打工的女孩的人生经历,也讲了一些很少被人提及的底层生活图景,如坐台小姐的工作、...
評分(吐槽:排名前几的差评全是在扯淡,评论的出发点完全背离了作者写作的出发点。) 首先,必须承认这本书的局限性。书中的两个女孩绝对不能够代表整个务工群体,再有,能够同意让一个外国记者进入自己生活的打工女孩也绝对是个例。更多的人还是像作者最初在广场上遇到的那两个...

評分回到家以后意外地在房间的书柜上找到了这本书,看扉页上的字迹,这应当是自己高一时的读过的一本书。已经记不太清自己当时出于什么样的目的买下了这本书,只记得当时读完了很震撼很心酸。 前不久毛老师提到了这本书,恍然间想起自己曾经读过,而在当时的我看来 这本书的内容与...
