張彤禾(Leslie T. Chang),前《華爾街日報》駐北京記者,在中國生活瞭十年,專注於探察社會經濟轉型如何改變製度和個人的故事。她畢業於美國哈佛大學,曾在捷剋、中國香港、中國颱灣等地擔任記者;同時,也是《紐約客》、《國傢地理》等媒體的撰稿人。
她的丈夫彼得·海斯勒(何偉)同樣以描寫當代中國的非虛構作品而聞名,兩人目前定居於埃及開羅。
'Head and shoulders above almost all other new books about China, this unflinching and yearningly compassionate portrait of the lives and loves of ordinary Chinese workers is quite unforgettable' - Simon Winchester. Every year in China millions of migrant workers leave their rural towns to find jobs in the cities. These people are the driving forces behind China's economic boom: they work very hard and for little money to make the trainers, ornaments, designer handbags and toys which we buy. Through the lives of two young women, Chang vividly portrays a world where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a cell phone; where lying about your age, your education, and your work experience is often a requisite for getting ahead; and, where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. This is a powerful and humane portrait of the forces which are shaping China. 'Astonishing ...Heartbreaking ...As one tool in trying to understand today's China, this is a most valuable, if troubling read' - "Irish Times". 'Engrossing ...An exceptionally vivid and compassionate depiction of the day-to-day dramas, and the fears and aspirations, of the real people who are powering China's economic boom' - "Scotsman". 'Chang's elegant book is evidence that the best trips home often require a circuitous approach' - Nell Freudenberger, "Financial Times".

評分我们这一代人终将感到悔恨,不仅仅因为坏人的可憎言行,更因为好人的可怕沉默。 ——马丁·路德·金《伯明翰狱中书信》 这本书除了讲在工厂打工的女孩的人生经历,也讲了一些很少被人提及的底层生活图景,如坐台小姐的工作、...
評分 評分前幾天買到的一本,閭丘露薇推薦的書。
评分假期裏唯一讀完的一本書,說實在的對外國人瞭解中國會有幫助,但對於中國人來說沒有任何新東西。factory girls的人生經曆還是挺有趣的。寫作方式和何偉很象,但不如何偉有幽默感。
评分平等的觀察視角,平和的語言敘述。
评分唉,為什麼比丈夫差那麼多呢
评分華裔美國人張彤禾為我們關注工廠女孩提供瞭一個全新的視角——focus on individuals rather than issues.她並沒有像傳統記者那樣未經親身感悟,就偏激地把矛頭直指政治異見,環境汙染等。另一方麵,可以看得齣她在努力使用一種盡量公平的視角去觀察中國女工的
