A New York Times Notable Book
Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize
In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.
Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.
Peter Hessler is a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he served as the Beijing correspondent from 2000 to 2007, and is also a contributing writer for National Geographic. He is the author of River Town, which won the Kiriyama Prize; Oracle Bones, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and, most recently, Country Driving. He won the 2008 National Magazine Award for excellence in reporting, and he was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. He lives in Cairo.
过了将近10个月,终于断断续续地把这本书看完了。描写很细腻。笔触很真诚。
评分纪实系列的第五本。看这本书的时间拖得太长了,有点懈怠。整体印象是细致,诚恳,幽默和讽刺!身在局中久了,难免一叶障目。局外人才能比较客观地评价和质疑。而我们自己也需要正视和珍惜身边的美!
评分比寻路中国更稚嫩,更文青气,更draft,更率性,揉进了更大段的主观感受。格式迥异的各章节,零落记录在涪陵的街头、乡村、校园里的见闻和经历。以个体故事,见时代背景。这是27岁的Howei,在1997年的涪陵。涪陵1997和中国2020相比,太多事情有了变化(当然很多事情仍一成不变,甚至更糟了),以至于我而言,显得有些遥远。反倒是1997年的何伟,跨越23年,和此刻作为读者的我年纪相仿,阅读过程中,由此不断产生亲近感和代入感。读的英文原版,比中文体验要更好,毕竟在语言上,就天然地离Howei1997更近了。
评分Damn it's been around 20 years since the first edition came out...Even a Chinese like me found the mindsets of people at that time bizarre to some extent. What massive changes have taken place all over the nation... Yet some problems, or say the national ethos, remain unchanged, such as the pragmatism, the sole focus of life on earning money, etc.

《江城》中,何伟写到的最后一场冲突发生在他离开涪陵之前。他和同事亚当想拍一些片子,作为他们曾经在这个小城生活过见证。他们想拍下一切关于涪陵的记忆,他们走过的街道,生活过的校园,交往的学生,结交的朋友,还有那些依然生活在这里的普通人。何伟原本以为,普通人很难...
评分那一年我大三,在成都的一所高校上学。一次短暂的假期,坐大巴车到了重庆,在城市漫无目的的晃荡了一天之后,在朝天门广场买了一张到武汉的船票。船在黄昏时分起航,码头上是拥挤的人群。我所在的二等舱有四个铺位。其他三个铺位的主人是从贵州来三峡旅游的女人。那是我第...
评分他在具有虔诚信仰的家庭中长大,他具有虔诚的信仰。他在大学里学文学,他痛恨文学被可怕的教育体制和文学评论撕裂和肢解,失去了原来的优美。 他的梦想,是成为一个作家,但是在此之前,他想看看遥远的国度,也想为了他的信仰做一些工作。于是他选择作为一个志愿者,登上了去...
评分 评分一、 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...
