具体描述
'Head and shoulders above almost all other new books about China, this unflinching and yearningly compassionate portrait of the lives and loves of ordinary Chinese workers is quite unforgettable' - Simon Winchester. Every year in China millions of migrant workers leave their rural towns to find jobs in the cities. These people are the driving forces behind China's economic boom: they work very hard and for little money to make the trainers, ornaments, designer handbags and toys which we buy. Through the lives of two young women, Chang vividly portrays a world where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a cell phone; where lying about your age, your education, and your work experience is often a requisite for getting ahead; and, where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. This is a powerful and humane portrait of the forces which are shaping China. 'Astonishing ...Heartbreaking ...As one tool in trying to understand today's China, this is a most valuable, if troubling read' - "Irish Times". 'Engrossing ...An exceptionally vivid and compassionate depiction of the day-to-day dramas, and the fears and aspirations, of the real people who are powering China's economic boom' - "Scotsman". 'Chang's elegant book is evidence that the best trips home often require a circuitous approach' - Nell Freudenberger, "Financial Times".

读后感
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...
评分 评分（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...
评分 评分1）潘毅、丁燕、张彤禾分别是社会学家、作家以及记者，从她们的写作中可以看到职业惯性对观察点的不同。潘毅更擅长透过一些侧面和细节总结理论，丁燕会讲语言较美的故事，张彤禾喜欢根据个人轨迹分析社会状态。她们三人的解读各有所长，都是很好的了解女工群体的资料。 2）潘...

评分Non-fiction by Hessler's wife, Leslie T. Chang, a Chinese-American.She spent 2 yrs in a city of South China, Dongguan.There are two central figures, Chunming and Min.They are both migrant workers from remote villages and struggle for a better life.Leslie as a observer recorded in detail.That's a huge project.This book also covered her family story
评分张彤禾用她ABC的视觉来解读中国打工族群，叙述方式很有意思，另外插入关于她家族的故事和全文“从农村到城市”的新移民故事有着难得的契和感，这也导致这部书简体中文本难以出现的缘故。全书可以看出张对中国的热爱和关切，一如她的丈夫彼特.海斯勒。又一本解读经济高速发展的中国时代的读本。推荐。以上。

评分没有政治上的说教或是夸夸其谈的评论 作者做的最好的就是以一个局外人的身份静静观察着中国当代变化的推动者 与打工妹的故事平行的作者本人家族史则解释了中国为什么会一步步走到今天的境地 有时比起重大的历史事件来 从个人的转变中更能看清事件发展的脉络
