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."

##很幸运,在来内蒙古的高铁+飞机+第一个下午读完,太过流畅的心流快乐。此时此刻,在朋友们都出去玩了的民宿里,安静的有阳光的窗边打下这些字。是熟悉的东北房间格局,身旁是花花草草,有熟悉的北方式阴冷的味道,有一点点鸟鸣和机器、小朋友说笑的声音,好像回到了哪位亲人的...

##事无巨细但绝不枯燥的回忆录,单老板有如今的江湖地位也是该当。观察学习思考能力算最基本的,即使在绝地困境下也能尽力突破(学医、研究砖泥搅拌机、搞好人缘、说服学校量身定制课程、多方奔走解决妻子赴美和签证问题等等),也有奇妙的际遇和善缘(Jefferson Starship的签名唱片!)。时势波澜写得也好,个人命题里做不了太深入探讨,但足够全面客观。

##终于读完。没想到是这么认真的一本回忆录,从大跃进写起,用个人经历写中国的历史进程。很多细节的描写和故事看起来匪夷所思,但给我这样以前只能从历史书上看到一些只言片语的人很多有意思的视角。单伟健无疑是努力的,在戈壁也要坚持读书听英文广播,别人劳动纷纷偷懒他还坚持,为了被推选上大学主动去和别人搞好关系,去了美国还要无比努力拿A。能在困境中保持对自己的高要求,对人生敢于选择未知和跳出舒适圈,大佬之所以为大佬,不是没有道理。
