In 1996, 26-year-old Peter Hessler arrived in Fuling, a town on China's Yangtze River, to begin a two-year Peace Corps stint as a teacher at the local college. Along with fellow teacher Adam Meier, the two are the first foreigners to be in this part of the Sichuan province for 50 years. Expecting a calm couple of years, Hessler at first does not realize the social, cultural, and personal implications of being thrust into a such radically different society. In River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze, Hessler tells of his experience with the citizens of Fuling, the political and historical climate, and the feel of the city itself.

"Few passengers disembark at Fuling ... and so Fuling appears like a break in a dream--the quiet river, the cabins full of travelers drifting off to sleep, the lights of the city rising from the blackness of the Yangtze," says Hessler. A poor city by Chinese standards, the students at the college are mainly from small villages and are considered very lucky to be continuing their education. As an English teacher, Hessler is delighted with his students' fresh reactions to classic literature. One student says of Hamlet, "I don't admire him and I dislike him. I think he is too sensitive and conservative and selfish." Hessler marvels,

You couldn't have said something like that at Oxford. You couldn't simply say: I don't like Hamlet because I think he's a lousy person. Everything had to be more clever than that ... you had to dismantle it ... not just the play itself but everything that had ever been written about it.

Over the course of two years, Hessler and Meier learn more they ever guessed about the lives, dreams, and expectations of the Fuling people.

Hessler's writing is lovely. His observations are evocative, insightful, and often poignant--and just as often, funny. It's a pleasure to read of his (mis)adventures. Hessler returned to the U.S. with a new perspective on modern China and its people. After reading River Town, you'll have one, too. --Dana Van Nest, Amazon.com

讀後感

读《江城》的时候,想起两组摄影,骆丹的318国道系列和严明的大国志。在初初看这两组摄影时,会有轻微不适,好像自身是局外人,他们镜头里的中国不再是我熟知的那个国度,更像是异次元空间,荒诞,充斥着各种象征和反讽,如果硬要用一个标准性的词来定性,应该是魔幻现实主义。...

一、 在翻开这本书之前,我对它的内容一点概念也没有,在我的想象里,它大概是本游记,也可能是一个关于中国问题的文化层面的评论集。我完全没想到,它其实只是作者在涪陵的两年教书生涯的生活记录而已。 这多少让我有点失望。并不是这种形式有什么问题,只是它实在是太「容...

写这篇读后感真不容易,第一次没有设邮箱且直接在豆瓣线上写完点击发送后直接审核不通过的感觉是崩溃的。何伟的几本书为什么出版会有问题,为什么港台版本不同我能够理解了。 切入正题,这本书非常推荐阅读,我以前看的时候就翻了好几遍,何伟虽然不是什么伟大的作家,但是他写...

首先,估计很多人会把本书的出版本身看做一个奇迹。在书中很多词出现在书评里都会直接导致豆瓣审核不通过的情况下,这部书居然能以纸质书的形式出现在大陆,确实有些令人吃惊。恍惚间,似乎飘出了风向变了的味道。(这里插一句,有些人怀疑大陆版会有很多删节,我虽然没有看过...

曆時三個月終於斷斷續續地看完瞭。因為是在一個全新的環境裏觀察和寫作,何偉會用很細膩的筆法寫瞭很多我們都習以為常或者忽略瞭的小細節。在他的書裏我看到瞭熟悉的涪陵和熟悉的涪陵人,但是同時又重新認識瞭自以為還算瞭解的這個城市。最近比較忙,書評稍後奉上。

在讀網絡翻譯的中文版本,翻譯的很好。我們日常的生活在一個外國人眼中摺射齣來,變得這樣的鮮活和耐讀,很推薦!
