Just in time for the Summer Olympics in Beijing, the Old City's narrow lanes and shops are being bulldozed and their residents displaced to make way for Wal-Marts, shopping centers and high-rise apartments. Part memoir, part history, part travelogue and part call to action, journalist Meyer's elegant first book yearns for old Beijing and mourns the loss of an older way of life. Having lived for two years in one of Beijing's oldest hutongs—mazes of lanes and courtyards bordered by single-story houses—Meyer chronicles the threat urban planning poses not only to the ancient history buried within these neighborhoods but also to the people of the hutong. The hutong, he says, builds community in a way that glistening glass and steel buildings cannot. His 81-year-old neighbor, whom he calls the Widow, had always been safe because neighbors watched out for her, as she watched out for others: the book opens with a delightful scene in which the Widow, a salty character who calls Meyer Little Plumblossom, brings him unsolicited dumplings for his breakfast. The ironies of the reconstruction of Beijing are clear in the building of Safe and Sound Boulevard, which, Meyer tells us, is neither.

两个月攻下了这本英文原版！
评分#地铁阅读系列# 比《城记》好看，因为毕竟有更多的居民自己的声音，城市因人而有活力，书也是因人的故事而有温度。语言风格跟何伟的作品不同，感觉要文绉绉一点，当然也可能是我自己词汇量还不够大的原因。看到大半的时候陪伴我三年的Kindle坏了，难过。
评分看了篇南都的采访，这书完完全全就是我的菜啊我最近是有多封闭！决定下午不做事了赶紧看，晚上继续建水-_-|||
评分并不像书名那样沉重，而更多的是从外国人的视角给外国人介绍胡同里的生活。有趣。
评分不如何伟。
