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
##幸虧有下鄉經曆作為鋪墊，流水似的枯燥記敘方式被增色不少，筆者的文筆實在一般.
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##作者言： “人一生能取得多大的成績，取決於得到什麼樣的機會。如果是因為沒有好機會，那無需惋惜。但如果機會降臨時沒有做好準備，那纔該後悔。” 深以為然。 但即使如此, 他的智慧與勤奮完全可以吊打99.99999% 的人。 There's a will there's a way.

評分##前半部分主要是寫作者上山下鄉期間在內濛古戈壁耕地，燒磚塊，挖土豆，做赤腳醫生等等的經曆，在如此艱苦的條件下作者同時也在不停思考他們付齣的勞動變成無用功的根源，還有如何改進生産力，但種種的努力都無法得到實踐，可見當時政策的盲目性和破壞性之大，不僅浪費瞭一代人的青春（簡直是流放做奴隸），也一定程度上造成瞭教育和文化的斷層，後半部分主要是作者上大學和留學的經曆比較平淡，但和前半部分一起看的話也挺神奇的，作者作為商學院的教授也是根據自己的經曆寫瞭一些關於市場經濟和計劃經濟的思考，但這方麵感覺可以寫的更深入一些
評分##在時代的洪流中，命運看似不由自己掌控，但是作者沒有放任自流。作為文革的犧牲品，本該上學的他被下放到內濛古戈壁灘當農夫，但最終抓住改革開放、中美關係改善的契機齣國深造，實現瞭自我價值。他的經曆強有力地驗證瞭兩個樸素的道理——教育改變命運，機會隻青睞有準備的人。在這個年紀讀到這本書，感覺再摺騰也不算晚。
