具体描述
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.

##Ian. 当时看的这本，现在想来中文确实是叫十个词汇里的中国。哈哈
评分##好书，这是EAS阅读清单里最喜欢的一本
评分##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。。。。
评分##读的中文版，浅显易懂地用很多故事讲述深入中国社会的词汇和与这些词汇相关的政治历史文化背景

评分##最早是在香港海港城的诚品翻了翻中文版，然后因为不打折，所以就没买。今天看了英文版，跳着看的，对我而言，内容没什么敏感的，思想性也就那么回事，不过余华依旧是那个讲故事的高手。特别强调一点，这书并不是什么特意写给西方人看的，我倒觉得今天中国的年轻人应该冷静下来好好看看，毕竟墙越来越高的同时，鸡血和变傻光波还越来越多了，对抗遗忘，人人有责
