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.

17年看的第一本书,因为生病躺尸两天,终于把这本书读完了。从外国人视角来看中国,很多我们习以为常的事变得没有那么理所当然起来。书里记录了一些我们作为中国人,不太会感兴趣去了解的一些普通人,从他们的故事里展现了过去的和现在的中国,对将来的中国有悲观也有一丝丝乐观。
评分何伟之后推荐的三个作家之一。其他两个是张彦(Ian Johnson)和梅英东(Michael Meyer)
评分中文版也能看,没改太多
评分一座城几十年的发展血泪竟然在一条街上反映的这么清楚。读完沿着长乐路走了一次,越长大越觉得 生活了这么多年的地方一瞬一瞬,翻天覆地的变了
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
所有的人对于未来的不确定让我们对即将扑面而来的未来既充满希望,又充斥焦虑和不安。让我们姑且虔诚的相信:这个世界也许会好,也许不好,但至少不算坏。 《长乐路》英文原著名《Street of eternal happiness》,其实是作者史明智(Rob Schmitz)一个饶有意味的译名,意为长长...
评分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 评分用一句话描述,它可以称作是“解构中国梦”的一本书。 之所以说解构,是因为其中描写的百种千般中国人的梦,与那个中华民族的伟大复兴的中国梦没什么关系。这两种梦甚至如同存在于不同的平行世界。 书中的每个人都有自己的“梦想”或者“愿望”。学手风琴,念音乐学校,卖手...
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...
