具体描述

Factory Girls meets The Vagina Monologues in this fascinating narrative on China's single women—and why they could be the source of its economic future.

Forty years ago, China enacted the one-child policy, only recently relaxed. Among many other unintended consequences, it resulted in both an enormous gender imbalance—with a predicted twenty million more men than women of marriage age by 2020—and China's first generations of only-daughters. Given the resources normally reserved for boys, these girls were pushed to study, excel in college, and succeed in careers, as if they were sons.

Now living in an economic powerhouse, enough of these women have decided to postpone marriage—or not marry at all—to spawn a label: "leftovers." Unprecedentedly well-educated and goal-oriented, they struggle to find partners in a society where gender roles have not evolved as vigorously as society itself, and where new professional opportunities have made women less willing to compromise their careers or concede to marriage for the sake of being wed. Further complicating their search for a mate, the vast majority of China's single men reside in and are tied to the rural areas where they were raised. This makes them geographically, economically, and educationally incompatible with city-dwelling 「leftovers,」 who also face difficulty in partnering with urban men, given the urban men's general preference for more dutiful, domesticated wives.

Part critique of China's paternalistic ideals, part playful portrait of the romantic travails of China's trailblazing women and their well-meaning parents who are anxious to see their daughters snuggled into traditional wedlock, Roseann Lake's Leftover in China focuses on the lives of four individual women against a backdrop of colorful anecdotes, hundreds of interviews, and rigorous historical and demographic research to show how these "leftovers" are the linchpin to China's future.

Whether that means being able to decide where or what to study, whom, when, or if to marry, whether or not to have children, or how to best define and achieve that ever-elusive ideal of “having it all,” the population of women taking bolder steps to map out more fulfilling lives is expanding. So must the conversation.

评分

有些观点很有意思,故事就大同小异,讨论的问题有点松散,总体来说是不错的读物。中文版中估计删减了不少内容,而且是斯坦威出的,审校质量堪忧了= =

评分

老生常谈, 竟然是访谈合集,不过是换种语言来支持人竟皆知的论点罢了。从相亲到同妻到女性教育到普世期待,都像Lit review。作者没有分享insight,实在鸡肋。

评分

老生常谈的内容,不全面。通俗易懂。2018年看的一本书,后面没兴趣看下去了,感觉不值得耗太多时间。但可以让男性阅读本书,有个大概了解。

评分

虽然叙述的故事线有点乱,但是其中的一些观点很不错,作者的文笔也真的棒。
