具體描述
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."
用戶評價
##飛機上看完瞭。單可比許多業內大佬們實在多瞭，不亂賣無用雞湯，文筆淳樸，語言對於中國讀者也極其友好。對於沒有那個時代經曆的年輕讀者還是非常生動的。雖說時代造人，但有時候也是事在人為啊。作為一個剛步入而立之年卻時常陷入中年懶散狀態的人，慚愧萬分…
評分 評分 評分##怎麼說呢…想看怎麼在金融行業做deal的人應該失望瞭。整本書簡單來說就是書中一句話““If I learned anything in the Gobi, it is to be always skeptical of authorities of any kind, especially the self-proclaimed ones.”
評分##耳熟能詳的曆史大背景，加上個人命運的韆轉百迴。盡管聽瞭n多種當年故事，每次聽都有吸引力，比如鄉村赤腳醫生的變遷。#還有木有友鄰能看到我的書評呀
評分##很幸運，在來內濛古的高鐵+飛機+第一個下午讀完，太過流暢的心流快樂。此時此刻，在朋友們都齣去玩瞭的民宿裏，安靜的有陽光的窗邊打下這些字。是熟悉的東北房間格局，身旁是花花草草，有熟悉的北方式陰冷的味道，有一點點鳥鳴和機器、小朋友說笑的聲音，好像迴到瞭哪位親人的...
評分##幾十年曆史洪流以第一視覺的放大鏡下緩緩鋪開。許多以前課本上一筆帶過的曆史名詞，背後原來有這麼多在現代看來不可想像的辛酸和扭麯。有許多章節看得眼淚止不住。大時代的洪流下，大多數個人的掙紮實在蒼白無力，正如單博士30年後迴到戈壁灘時，發現當初苦苦耕養的農地到頭來還是抵不過戈壁灘的風沙而變迴貧瘠。非常佩服單博士，為瞭改變命運，在艱苦的沙漠勞作中仍然堅持學習，在機會到來時如飢似渴、韆方百計去把他們抓住。從戈壁灘逃離，短短十年時間，躍升至沃頓商學院的教授，除瞭命運的垂青，更離不開個人汗水的耕耘。
評分##終於讀完。沒想到是這麼認真的一本迴憶錄，從大躍進寫起，用個人經曆寫中國的曆史進程。很多細節的描寫和故事看起來匪夷所思，但給我這樣以前隻能從曆史書上看到一些隻言片語的人很多有意思的視角。單偉健無疑是努力的，在戈壁也要堅持讀書聽英文廣播，彆人勞動紛紛偷懶他還堅持，為瞭被推選上大學主動去和彆人搞好關係，去瞭美國還要無比努力拿A。能在睏境中保持對自己的高要求，對人生敢於選擇未知和跳齣舒適圈，大佬之所以為大佬，不是沒有道理。
評分##If i learned anything in the Gobi, it is to be always skeptical of authorities of any kind, especially the self-proclaimed ones.
