Paul Theroux left Victoria Station on a rainy Saturday in April thinking that taking eight trains across Europe, Eastern Europe, the USSR and Mongolia would be the easy way to get to the Chinese border - the relaxing way, even. He would read a little, take notes, eat regular meals and gaze contentedly out of windows. The reality, of course, was very different. In fact, Theroux experienced a decidedly odd and unexpected trip to China that set the challenging tone for his epic year-long rail journey around that vast, inscrutable land - a journey which involved riding nearly every train in the country. 'Wry, humorful and occasionally querulous...as Theroux makes excruciatingly clear, travelling alone in the Middle Kingdom is not for the faint of heart or stomach' - "Time".

There are many subjects and objects, but there are more humans. And it is only due to the excellent writing that objects can become humans. One of the best writings I’ve ever read.

评分絕對的好書，喜歡Paul筆下的中國
评分paul 這本書和之前看過的arthur miller的北京工作經曆那本書有著類似的描述視角，神秘國度，古老落後，站在某個高度指手畫腳，作者對spitting和廁所有著某種變態的迷戀，潛颱詞中更是充滿對社會發達程度的鄙視，最後一段旅行中的Mr Fu是讓我看樂的角色，人物的描述豐滿有趣。總體給4分，寫作風格沒得說，但文字背後的不屑令人厭惡。
评分絕對的好書，喜歡Paul筆下的中國
