A young army captain who risked execution to swim from free-market Taiwan to Communist China. A barber who made $150 million in the gambling dens of Macau. The richest woman in China, a recycling tycoon known as the 'Wastepaper Queen'. Age of Ambition describes some of the billion individual lives that make up China's story - one that unfolds on remote farms, in glittering mansions, and in the halls of power of the world's largest authoritarian regime. Together they describe the defining clash taking place today: between the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. Here is a China infused with a sense of boundless possibility and teeming romance. Yet it is also riven by contradictions. It is the world's largest buyer of Rolls Royces and Ferraris yet the word 'luxury' is banned from billboards. It has more Christians than members of the Communist Party. And why does a government that has lifted more people from poverty than any other so strictly restrain freedom of expression? Based on years of research, Age of Ambition is a stunning narrative that reveals China as we have never understood it before.

评分5月的广州正值雨季,我们走在泥泞的贝岗小路上,前往一家咖啡店,在那里举行我们的第二期读书会。 我们没有费心为这个有七名成员的读书会想一个名字,因为明白这学期结束,大家就将各奔东西,寻找实习和工作,但我们还是想抓住最后一段时间,读一些“与找工作无关”的书。 这...

评分长年累月来习惯了隔靴搔痒式的新闻报道,突然间送我一把尖刀,剔开包裹着这个社会的那块遮羞布,我着实有点不适应。就像一个近视眼患者,以为世界就是模糊的,却在配完一副眼镜后,看到画面清晰而又陌生。 作为一个外国新闻工作者,Evan旁观者的视角揭露了我们自己...
老书虫千里迢迢寄来,一边看一边拍大腿。一年半的抗争之下,公司终于重整绩效体系。虽然依旧不公,但是比起同类公司显然已经公平很多了。看见小雨姐每天昂首大喊“要爱护打印机!”心里似乎开心很多。永远不要给潮汕老板打工。这就像东北不能在烧烤摊上盯人看一样的铁律。
