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
##大老闆的書，坦白說很久沒有讀這樣迴憶錄的書籍瞭，而Out of Gobi更多的是平白口語話的敘述，很難探究其間他對於這種曆史背景的感情，但也可能，作為曆史的一份子，幾十年後其實大概就是這種淡然的心態瞭。 一個同事在amazon書評下說到有趣的一點，單總和聖上幾乎是同齡人，經曆過大抵類似的時代洪流，很多人都會低估這一代人的堅韌。 Shan的職業生涯迴過頭來看真的是非常的先苦後甜，當然沒有在戈壁的睏苦煎熬也沒有後期來到美國後求學時候的勤勉刻苦，後麵的貴人相助和諸多際遇實際也是德配其位的，真的很瞭不起。說起來有的時候Shan群發公司郵件依然會分享一些關於經濟政治的看法，其實很有助益，可一些本地同事會有些不屑一顧，真的很淺薄
評分雖然知道插隊苦，知青難，但是沒想到當年能苦到這個份兒上，我爸在大興安嶺我媽在湖北十堰的經曆應該和作者差不多，真是命運弄人，改變瞭一代人的命運。感覺作者刻苦勤奮聰明幸運，雖然命運被大環境左右，但自己卻仍能生活得不錯，看完感覺格外勵誌。
評分##嗟乎， 一個人的妄斷怎可影響韆萬人的命運。
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##嗟乎， 一個人的妄斷怎可影響韆萬人的命運。

評分##我會把今天珍藏在心底。聽完瞭一期讓人流淚的隨機波動，讀完瞭單偉建老師不平凡的大半人生，這些珍貴的時刻我會好好的把它們記住，尤其會在灰暗的時候常常溫習，相信一切都會好起來。
