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."

##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##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。

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##單偉建從一個小學畢業生，當瞭十年知青，最後成為沃頓商學院教授，並且管理亞洲最大的私募之一PAG的人生曆程。這本書在當下的環境有特彆的意義。仇恨與衝突都是政客製造齣來用來操縱民意、博取支持和所謂閤法性的工具。普通人的生活本來離這些東西很遠，卻往往被煽動起來的狂熱毀掉。隻有國傢走嚮開放，不同國傢的人之間能自由交流，美好的事情纔會發生。

評分##大串聯 火車免費 過道座位底下 行李架上都睡滿瞭人 所謂的四人幫 被推翻 是沒道理的 好像一個犯罪集團是沒人支持的一樣。其他人都是聽黨指揮嗎 四人幫就是毛的四人幫。關於作者本人的飛黃騰達細節甚少 中國曆史甚多。所以又是一個少數的成功案例。浪費國傢資源不是嗎 送齣去就不迴來瞭 苦瞭底層的韭菜
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##讀完瞭老單的前40年，一本流水賬。這是一條多麼漫長、麯摺、湍急的流水啊。想想踏足其中，也讓人多少膽寒。老單是一個聰明絕頂的鬥士（想想一個把每人都變成鬥士的時代也挺操蛋的），是任何時代都少之又少的精英層。不過在書最後一頁，老單試圖說，在這條激流裏跋涉、一步走錯，他也可能就是因為戀愛而入獄，並再找不到齣戈壁之路的兵團戰友“二狗”。
