内容简介

Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace’s Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city’s sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There’s Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and cafe owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself but learns he’s searching for something more. A tale of twenty-first-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China’s distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.

    # myfirstEnglishliteraturework A portrait of contemporary China. While uncommon and even exotic to foreign readers, the stories are nothing new to Chinese readers, especially those who are interested in sociological or anthropological studies. What I learn from the work about nonfiction writting is--details, and more details. 细节在这儿不仅是描述,还是作者的议论和情感。2019-03-13

    一座城几十年的发展血泪竟然在一条街上反映的这么清楚。读完沿着长乐路走了一次,越长大越觉得 生活了这么多年的地方一瞬一瞬,翻天覆地的变了2018-06-15

    写得还挺好的,有熟悉的他国视角看同样的事情能看出不同来,但也能看出不沉浸在某一文化中很多文化中天经地义的事情就是理解不了,这同时是一种赐福也是一种悲哀吧2018-02-18
