Yu Hua is the author of four novels, six collections of stories, and three essay collections. In 2002, he became the first Chinese writer to win the James Joyce Foundation Award. His novel Brothers was short-listed for the Man Asian Prize and awarded France’s Prix Courrier International, and To Live was awarded Italy’s Premio Grinzane Cavour. Yu Hua lives in Beijing.
From one of China’s most acclaimed writers, his first work of nonfiction available in English: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last thirty years, told through personal stories and astute analysis that sharply illuminate his country’s meteoric transformation.
Framed by ten phrases common in the Chinese vernacular—“people,” “leader,” “reading,” “writing,” “Lu Xun” (the name of one of the most influential Chinese writers of the twentieth century), “disparity,” “revolution,” “grassroots,” “copycat,” and “bamboozle”—China in Ten Words reveals as never before the world’s most populous yet misunderstood nation. “Disparity” illustrates the mind-boggling economic gaps that separate Chinese citizens. “Copycat” depicts the escalating trends of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And “Bamboozle” describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, Yu Hua suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society.
Characterized by Yu Hua’s trademark wit, insight, and courage, China in Ten Words is a refreshingly candid vision of the “Chinese miracle” and all its consequences, from the singularly invaluable perspective of a writer—among China’s most influential—living in China today.
##讀的中文版,淺顯易懂地用很多故事講述深入中國社會的詞匯和與這些詞匯相關的政治曆史文化背景
評分##看瞭快十本關於中國的書,國內外的,曆史的,政治的,個人經曆的。餘華的這本China in Ten Words又給瞭我一些不一樣的視角。這本書的中英文版都看瞭一遍。因為買不到中文紙質版,先看的英文版,覺得裏麵的俗語翻譯的很不到位,又看瞭中文版。發現中文版的俗語到位瞭,語言邏輯...
評分我他媽的真的覺得這是一個很蛋疼的事情我一個中國人我他媽坐在美國的英語寫作課上讀一本被翻譯成瞭英文的中國人寫的書。
評分 評分##感覺翻譯得很好。寫瞭很多發生在文革啊、所謂的“三年自然災害”期間的故事,看著真是心酸,也恨,難怪在國內被禁瞭。看到後頭覺得這10個字有點牽強,也可能是我自己沒體會到人傢的深意吧。。。。
評分 評分 評分##Ian. 當時看的這本,現在想來中文確實是叫十個詞匯裏的中國。哈哈
