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.

She wrote a long but boring story though there are surely something inspiring. She tried to unfold the inherent characteristic of Chinese factories and girls and even the whole society. But her insight was overwhelmed by too much details which only distracted the readers.(展开)

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！

我觉得吧，四星半吧。作者的家族史写的同样很赞，只是跟这本书的主题有点无关，读的时候有点“出戏”的感觉。工厂女工们平淡的苦难生活。记得《燃情岁月》里这么说“即使在始终无人注目的暗夜中，你可曾动情地燃烧，”我觉得这句话也好像这些工厂女工们，“像那颗不肯安歇的灵魂一样，为了答谢这一段短暂的岁月？”她们在工厂流水线度过了青春最美好的年华。没有人在意她们，她们也很难发出自己的声音，即使是以她们为主角的春运，... 我觉得吧，四星半吧。作者的家族史写的同样很赞，只是跟这本书的主题有点无关，读的时候有点“出戏”的感觉。工厂女工们平淡的苦难生活。记得《燃情岁月》里这么说“即使在始终无人注目的暗夜中，你可曾动情地燃烧，”我觉得这句话也好像这些工厂女工们，“像那颗不肯安歇的灵魂一样，为了答谢这一段短暂的岁月？”她们在工厂流水线度过了青春最美好的年华。没有人在意她们，她们也很难发出自己的声音，即使是以她们为主角的春运，所有的抱怨所有的声音都来自于更高一点的上班族，而非流水线上的女工。她们是“房间里的大象”，她们是弱者，可是告诉我们她们的真实生活的，为她们发声的，是一个华尔街日报的记者。以生命震惊了我们的“富士康连环跳”，又有谁还在一直关心一直喋喋不休？我们围观富士康，却没有人反省为何之前没人发现这头大象…… (展开)

2012-04-03 到2013-01-01. 一开始觉得很无趣, 中间有一段写得真是漂亮, 后面又很无聊- 对于我这个中国人来说她写了太多常识了. 不过从另一个角度, 上学期学的讲美国梦的课然后假期看完这本讲中国的Immigrant workers的书非常合适.
