An eye-opening and previously untold story, Factory Girls is the first look into the everyday lives of the migrant factory population in China.
China has 130 million migrant workers—the largest migration in human history. In Factory Girls, Leslie T. Chang, a former correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Beijing, tells the story of these workers primarily through the lives of two young women, whom she follows over the course of three years as they attempt to rise from the assembly lines of Dongguan, an industrial city in China’s Pearl River Delta.
As she tracks their lives, Chang paints a never-before-seen picture of migrant life—a world where nearly everyone is under thirty; where you can lose your boyfriend and your friends with the loss of a mobile phone; where a few computer or English lessons can catapult you into a completely different social class. Chang takes us inside a sneaker factory so large that it has its own hospital, movie theater, and fire department; to posh karaoke bars that are fronts for prostitution; to makeshift English classes where students shave their heads in monklike devotion and sit day after day in front of machines watching English words flash by; and back to a farming village for the Chinese New Year, revealing the poverty and idleness of rural life that drive young girls to leave home in the first place. Throughout this riveting portrait, Chang also interweaves the story of her own family’s migrations, within China and to the West, providing historical and personal frames of reference for her investigation.
A book of global significance that provides new insight into China,Factory Girls demonstrates how the mass movement from rural villages to cities is remaking individual lives and transforming Chinese society, much as immigration to America’s shores remade our own country a century ago.
Leslie T. Chang lived in China for a decade as a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. She is married to Peter Hessler, who also writes about China. She lives in Colorado.

尽管作者一直试图避免先入为主的评价与论断，但那些颇引人警醒的段落里，常常蕴藏着一种简单直白的对比：个人主义的自我奋斗与集体主义的隐忍缄默。个人赞同作者将集体的沉默与遗忘视为中国历史无根摇摆的症结所在。个体生命的多姿在于其有血有肉的情感与丰富立体的性格，压抑个体之不同的文化是东莞工厂或奥威尔寓言式的吞噬。然而，如果说具有集体特性的文化本身就具有腐坏的性质我亦难苟同。无论是出于文化的根深蒂固还是思维惯... 尽管作者一直试图避免先入为主的评价与论断，但那些颇引人警醒的段落里，常常蕴藏着一种简单直白的对比：个人主义的自我奋斗与集体主义的隐忍缄默。个人赞同作者将集体的沉默与遗忘视为中国历史无根摇摆的症结所在。个体生命的多姿在于其有血有肉的情感与丰富立体的性格，压抑个体之不同的文化是东莞工厂或奥威尔寓言式的吞噬。然而，如果说具有集体特性的文化本身就具有腐坏的性质我亦难苟同。无论是出于文化的根深蒂固还是思维惯性，我都不免从心底某个至深的角落惊诧——希望个体的生命能够为社会或集体有所贡献真的如此不可思议而值得同情吗？另一方面，读了英文版便不难理解大陆为何会以“和全书主要内容没太大关系”为由删节有关作者家族历史的章节，“恰到好处”的讽刺总是让试图在其间寻找光明的人哑口无言。 (展开)

Peter Hessler（何伟）和Leslie Chang夫妇的四本书（何伟三部：River Town《江城》、Oracle Bones《甲骨文》、Country Driving《寻路中国》加上这本）全部读毕，质量皆属上乘。据悉夫妇二人即将前往埃及，继续奋斗在第三世界。

Vivid and earnest, though not very deep. The two deleted chapters in the Chinese version really highlight the book.

跟他老公Peter Hessler的作品比起来太平庸了。倒不如写写他俩的罗曼史吧！
