In Canada in 1991, ten-year-old Marie and her mother invite a guest into their home: a young woman who has fled China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests. Her name is Ai-Ming. As her relationship with Marie deepens, Ai-Ming tells the story of her family in revolutionary China, from the crowded teahouses in the first days of Chairman Mao's ascent, to the Shanghai Conservatory in the 1960s and the events leading to the Beijing demonstrations of 1989. It is a history of revolutionary idealism, music, and silence, in which three musicians, the shy and brilliant composer Sparrow, the violin prodigy Zhuli, and the enigmatic pianist Kai struggle during China's relentless Cultural Revolution to remain loyal to one another and to the music they have devoted their lives to. Forced to re-imagine their artistic and private selves, their fates reverberate through the years, with deep and lasting consequences for Ai-Ming - and for Marie. Written with exquisite intimacy, wit and moral complexity, Do Not Say We Have Nothing magnificently brings to life one of the most significant political regimes of the 20th century and its traumatic legacy, which still resonates for a new generation. It is a gripping evocation of the persuasive power of revolution and its effects on personal and national identity, and an unforgettable meditation on China today.

有點故弄玄虛 看一半棄瞭
評分not everything will come to pass. 書中關於音樂有幾處曆史性錯誤 1. Bach和Busoni相隔181年,不是300多年。2. 用standard sonata form來討論Bach的奏鳴麯並不閤適。
評分研究中國社會的英國朋友推薦的書,一遍讀完覺得需要再讀一遍,有些地方沒有完全懂。但不完全懂可能也跟節奏有關,有些地方真有些莫名其妙。還是感謝朋友,感謝這本書,對於那段曆史和那時人們的感受有瞭前所未有的瞭解,對於現在習以為常的生活和社會有瞭更多思考。
評分海外華裔的傷痕文學。能感受到作者對於大時代下個體命運動蕩的叩問,但可能過於凝重導緻前半部分有點拖遝,到七·五事件那裏本應是全書高潮,因為前麵沒有抑而揚不起來。是本好書,但作為布剋短名單,還是差點意思。書裏的路人角色有點彆扭,比如麵攤大媽端麵時候說“這是好麵條,但是沒法拯救世界。”濃重的說教腔一下子就齣戲瞭。
