Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace's Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city's sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There's Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and cafe owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself but learns he's searching for something more. A tale of twenty-first-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China's distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.
Rob Schmitz is the China correspondent for American Public Media's Marketplace. He has won several awards for his reporting on China, including two national Edward R. Murrow Awards and an Education Writers Association Award. His work was also a finalist for the 2012 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award.

长乐路上无“长乐”,这哪里是“长乐”路,分明是长恨歌
评分总是带着点美国式的居高临下的feel,不过确实也写出了一些国人习以为常,外人觉得不可思议的点。中文版删减了太多东西,这个时候体现出会英语的好处了。
评分应该可以媲美寻路中国吧
评分后何伟时代一本有诚意的“西方人眼中的中国”。同样出自96级支教四川的和平队志愿者之手。能让魔都人民会心一笑的书名,也是我一开始抗拒这本书的原因--在“上只角”的长乐路恐怕难以对中国(哪怕只是上海)作一个客观解读。Rob Schmitz proved me wrong. 他挑选的大部分写作对象充满戏剧冲突,有个人命运被社会环境牵制的,也有善于弄潮的逆袭者。每个故事背后都是他想呈现给读者的当代中国剪影。也许因为我对subject matters太熟悉,觉得书中欠缺惊喜,但阅读过程还颇享受。结尾平淡了些,最终定调,是一本记者观察手记。3.5
评分讲述了一条 3.2 公里的路上居住的一些人们的故事,覆盖了建国前后至今的中国人的大部分经历。有失落的十年,也有现在青年面临的问题,还有一些经济发展中的社会乱相,涉及到了挺多比较敏感的话题。推荐阅读。
看完都不知道該對自己的“乏善可陳(沒故事)”感覺欣慰還是恥辱:有故事的人都很有意思,但卻不幸; 看完不禁感慨人是多麼脆弱可笑,完全就是時代操縱的木偶,比如你有個資本家的頭腦放在今天可能就是馬雲、放在50年前就是禍及九族;同時,人又是多麼的resilient,為了生存可...
评分从乌鲁木齐路向东走,第一个地点是位于汇贤居南侧“陈市长”的麦琪里,记得作者写到从汇贤居往下看南侧是一大片的空白荒地,几年过去了,不知道还是不是这样。 从乌鲁木齐路向南走到安福路,南侧道路立着一排围墙,里面依旧是荒地,围墙上面已经换了标语“上善若水常处下,至德...
评分今天下午带着书去了趟长乐路。 从‘汇贤居’开始,一路向东。 百度地图上是找不到‘麦琪里’的。汇贤居后面的‘麦琪里’现在依旧是一片空地,高高的围墙看不到里面。我走到马路对面,隐约看到了里面还有一小栋没拆,其他就是一片空地了。这么多年过去,这里依旧没有建任何公共...
