具体描述

Weijian Shan'sOut of the Gobiis a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America.

Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America.Out of the Gobidraws a vivid picture of the raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds.

Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao's policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China's history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15 and denied schooling for 10 years, he endured untold hardships without ever giving up his dream for an education. Shan's improbable journey, from the Gobi to the "People's Republic of Berkeley" and far beyond, is a uniquely American success story - told with a splash of humor, deep insight and rich and engaging detail.

This powerful and personal perspective on China and America will inform Americans' view of China, humanizing the country, while providing a rare view of America from the prism of a keen foreign observer who lived the American dream.

Says former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen: "Shan's life provides a demonstration of what is possible when China and the United States come together, even by happenstance. It is not only Shan's personal history that makes this book so interesting but also how the stories of China and America merge in just one moment in time to create an inspired individual so unique and driven, and so representative of the true sprits of both countries."

###看书之前不知道作者是什么来头。插队干活的故事可能大部分那一代人都很类似,但之后抓住一切机会变成新中国第一代伯克利phd真的很不容易,特别是考虑到他是小学学历而且大学学的也是文科的外语,甚至觉得文章里淡化了他的自我努力。然后他在学习之外的一些为人处事也挺值得借鉴,比如当排球裁判提高存在感,或者是广结朋友最后到了关键时刻很用得上。书里语言虽然淳朴,但是能看出他一点不骄傲,总是很虚心和感恩

##幸亏有下乡经历作为铺垫,流水似的枯燥记叙方式被增色不少,笔者的文笔实在一般.
