内容简介
· · · · · ·
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.

写了好多文革的故事，还挺好看的
感觉翻译得很好。写了很多发生在文革啊、所谓的“三年自然灾害”期间的故事，看着真是心酸，也恨，难怪在国内被禁了。看到后头觉得这10个字有点牵强，也可能是我自己没体会到人家的深意吧。。。。
What vivid stories that tie the past to the present, revealing the national spirit of absurdity and frenzy and that we’ve inherited
果然前五个词汇写的比较生动，尤其阅读与写作两篇，情感倾注，后面五个略为零散，但将“山寨”文化的语义扩大化还是颇有深意。
