图书描述

Route 312 is the Chinese Route 66. It flows three thousand miles from east to west, passing through the factory towns of the coastal areas, through the rural heart of China, then up into the Gobi Desert, where it merges with the Old Silk Road. The highway witnesses every part of the social and economic revolution that is turning China upside down.

In this utterly surprising and deeply personal book, acclaimed National Public Radio reporter Rob Gifford, a fluent Mandarin speaker, takes the dramatic journey along Route 312 from its start in the boomtown of Shanghai to its end on the border with Kazakhstan. Gifford reveals the rich mosaic of modern Chinese life in all its contradictions, as he poses the crucial questions that all of us are asking about China: Will it really be the next global superpower? Is it as solid and as powerful as it looks from the outside? And who are the ordinary Chinese people, to whom the twenty-first century is supposed to belong?

Gifford is not alone on his journey. The largest migration in human history is taking place along highways such as Route 312, as tens of millions of people leave their homes in search of work. He sees signs of the booming urban economy everywhere, but he also uncovers many of the country’s frailties, and some of the deep-seated problems that could derail China’s rise.

The whole compelling adventure is told through the cast of colorful characters Gifford meets: garrulous talk-show hosts and ambitious yuppies, impoverished peasants and tragic prostitutes, cell-phone salesmen, AIDS patients, and Tibetan monks. He rides with members of a Shanghai jeep club, hitchhikes across the Gobi desert, and sings karaoke with migrant workers at truck stops along the way.

As he recounts his travels along Route 312, Rob Gifford gives a face to what has historically, for Westerners, been a faceless country and breathes life into a nation that is so often reduced to economic statistics. Finally, he sounds a warning that all is not well in the Chinese heartlands, that serious problems lie ahead, and that the future of the West has become inextricably linked with the fate of 1.3 billion Chinese people.

“Informative, delightful, and powerfully moving . . . Rob Gifford’s acute powers of observation, his sense of humor and adventure, and his determination to explore the wrenching dilemmas of China’s explosive development open readers’ eyes and reward their minds.”

–Robert A. Kapp, president, U.S.-China Business Council, 1994-2004

作为NPR记者视角还是较Moderate的比如T族问题~但广播通讯员到底视野和功底差些…当特写受访太单一转述太多记录太少多一面之词,作non-fiction呢功课没做足(历朝不说清朝西进也该是康熙而非乾隆始吧) ~自己东西很多但又浅尝辄止,作为匆匆过客对现实很难深入(如U人就业不平等问题的原因)但又好价值判断…于是纪实了无新意止于表面而思考又显肤浅幼稚了……偏见也是有尤其新疆部分仿佛那只是U的新疆而不是哈萨克等族的新疆似的何况千年前别说U的identity了连突厥化都还没开始呢好么至于在民族聚居区立minority雕像就成了汉人"想象的主题公园了"么? 强调买/卖都是汉/U人也很不明所以来的=。=当然语言比较诙谐中文的英译很不错~

利用各种边角料时间读完这本书。何伟的外壳，欧博文的核心，行文铺排比两人差不少，唯一的优势大概就是较多学者气息，比如会引用Pye老师的著作等，从正文后的鸣谢名单中也能看到不少学者的名字。有关历史背景介绍的段落总是惊人的无趣，最后冗长的结论也不忍卒读，不过对中国的观察算是全面细致，议论起来也满怀真诚，还偶有灵光闪现，比较难得了。印象最深的是作者在华山之巅对月想起李白《月下独酌》那首诗的情形，这就好比中国人望见远处的孤灯而想起《了不起的盖茨比》中那盏绿灯一样了...

最尼玛烦这种带有明显优越感的写作风格了。和何伟比起来，Rob还仅仅是个学生，差得远。作者明显的带有一种先入为主的道德判断，老外依旧无法读懂天朝的老毛病依旧存在。全书中记述很少，转述很多，然后被这种不知道正不正确的转述引发的所谓的独立思考来潜移默化凸显优越感。感想大篇而实际上老调重弹一点也没什么突破。Rob总是在以一种基于他们宗教情结下“白人至上”的典型保守主义心态来阅读中国。公正地说，和那些极度偏激的non-fiction相比，这部书还是保持了一种试图不左不右的立场，可惜的是作者自身的“保守主义”情节下，使得作者字里行间中充满道德标杆，因此他试图不偏不倚变成虚空。另外，全书中天朝特色词汇的英译值得学翻译的同学看看，除此之外，这只是一部写给外国人看并且迎合那些他们道德优越感的一本书而已。以上。

果然是IR出身的作者...不能不说这些论调读多了有些没新意，而且很多似乎可以深入的话题只被简单几句采访带过，有点失望。

Personally my deep love of this sentence makes it an intrinsic part of myself, and so does the author. But, still, I can not see the connection of this citation to the whole book. It is glued at the front and rear of the passage, but not being vivified. Ro...

引人入胜的行文，有趣而不同的视角，去年在网上听过他为NPR做的播报，现在才不经意间看到他这本书。拿到之后从晚饭一直读，读到第二天早上6点钟才读完-这就是所谓拿起来放不下的那种读物。喜欢他的英式冷幽默，经常让人在沉重的阅读之间忍俊不禁。只是对他在文中表现出的很...

我觉得齐福德同学的这本书是一本很有意思的反应中国社会现实的社普类读物，最大的亮点就是里面有很多中文词汇及成语的英文翻译。单凭他在中国20年的经历，就能想象他中文英文的功力之强。远至孔孟老庄，近至鲁迅老毛，对他们的经典语录真是顺手拈来，着实佩服。此书开头的一...

与照片上相比，Rob Gifford留着大胡子，看上去有些老，让人疑心是他的哥哥来了。跟几个月前贝淡宁（Daniel A. Bell）的号召力差不多，他昨晚在北京书虫的见面会吸引了众多读者，好些人是站着听完的。作为美国NPR电台的英国记者，Gifford不像贝淡宁那样文弱的书生，声音大，也更...

China Road: A Journey into the Future of the Rising Power It is a bit strange to find Rob Gifford’s China Road in the travel section of my local bookshop. Route 312, where the author traveled from end to end, is not exact your typical tourist route. Nor i...
