When I came to Beijing，my family gave me 2，000 yuan.When Dadsaw me off to the railway station，he secretly slipped another 1，000 tome. He said to me，“Boy，you are not good at studying.When you get tothe city，you have to rely on yourself.You should learn more，ask moreand work hard.Don’t Iook at what you shouldn’t see and don’t sayanything that you shouldn’t say.Suffering a loss is a blessing andconcession iS self-protection.Don’t be ashamed to take the money givenby your family.In the future，if you are lucky，you will earn money andcan eat fish and meat.If you can’t earn enough money to buy fish andmeat，you can eat vegetables.If you can’t even afford vegetables，Dadwill pick you up and bring you home.’’1 was really moved.For the first time.I felt that Dad was not theunreasonable fellow who pounded on the table and boasted afterdrinking.It was also the first time I noticed that Dad’S hair had becomethinner and was turning grey.Uncle iS what I calf the reIative who took me to Beijing.Hed been asoldier.He had a comrade‘in-arms in Kunming who was also engaged inthe cigarette business.All our wholesale cigarees came from his friend.On the way.Uncle shared a lot of business expertise and know-howwith me.He said that there were severaI businesses that were veryprofitable.The cigarette business was one of them；not for small，wholesale operators like US，but for cigarette producers and suppliers.
What a joy to find a book like Real Iife Stories o／Migrant Workers and Urban Tranv）lants in English！Ina very important way.this book demonstrates how an understanding of the details of“ordinary’’individuallives can illuminate a society and culture in a way that biographies of leaders and SUccesstM people cannot.Making Chinese people accessible and visible to western readers is essential to an understanding of China.An Dun does it sensitively and beautifully ——Helen Praeger Young.author of Choosing Revolution：Chinese Women SoldieFs on fhe Long March0ver the last three decades.several hundred million people have moved from the countryside to the citiesin China——probably the largest such migration tlux in human history.Who are they？How have they l：ared？In the vein ofStuds Terkel’S Working，or Ida Pruitt’S A Daughter of Han，An Dun has faithfully recordedthe stories of several dozen such people without embellishment——and they are truly moving！ ——MichaeI Crook.Chairman.International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives

里面的故事很真实，通过十个人物，讲从乡村到城市打工的人们的苦乐悲欢，能让人了解奋斗的艰辛。不过刚开始我是为了提高英语才买的，作者是中国人，英语版感觉还欠点火候，不过文章的情感是真诚的！价格标的有点高了，二十差不多。
希望别名就是漂泊中的执着
发现了安顿的生活情感实录类作品很惊喜，给有兴趣了解中国当代社会的外国人看的客观现实实录类作品真是凤毛麟角，这一百个梦系列的英文版非常适合。之三的这本相比之一和之二要好，不是作者写作或翻译的问题，而是受访对象本身及其故事更有现实性，更有冲击力。
