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.
##What vivid stories that tie the past to the present, revealing the national spirit of absurdity and frenzy and that we've inherited

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##英文翻譯很有意思。另外餘華他哥貌似姓徐還是姓許 =.=
評分##可以做漢英翻譯課的好材料
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##果然前五個詞匯寫的比較生動,尤其閱讀與寫作兩篇,情感傾注,後麵五個略為零散,但將“山寨”文化的語義擴大化還是頗有深意。
評分##最早是在香港海港城的誠品翻瞭翻中文版,然後因為不打摺,所以就沒買。今天看瞭英文版,跳著看的,對我而言,內容沒什麼敏感的,思想性也就那麼迴事,不過餘華依舊是那個講故事的高手。特彆強調一點,這書並不是什麼特意寫給西方人看的,我倒覺得今天中國的年輕人應該冷靜下來好好看看,畢竟牆越來越高的同時,雞血和變傻光波還越來越多瞭,對抗遺忘,人人有責
評分##諷刺的2012七夕節禮物,玫瑰花瓣還是失去瞭顏色
