This book records the real working and living conditions of 14 Chinese immigrants after they immigrated to the United States in the style of journalists. The interviewees include teachers, company bosses, artists, doctors, engineers, etc. The manuscript also touches on how to survive in the United States, such as going to court, opening a clinic, and looking for a house.
Reader comments
What touched me most in this book was the impact of American education on children. The Chinese people in the book who have adapted to life in the United States also adopt American education for their children after they get married and have children in the United States. They respect the child's personality development more and pay more attention to the child's character. These aspects are in another direction in China. China's education focuses on learning, and some parents even enroll their children in various classes after school. Children study indoors for a long time, which has many disadvantages for their own health and is not very healthy for the children's psychology. At this point, I think it is very necessary to pay more attention to children's personality development and respect children within the rules. After all, children should also have a happy and healthy childhood.
There is a passage in the book that reads, "The United States is neither heaven nor hell. It is just another ordinary world with a mixture of sorrow and joy. Its beauty and sorrow are all on top of life." It can be seen that the author's original intention in writing is to allow each of us readers to see a real, realistic and secular America. This book is a factual record that restores the true face of the United States, narrated in the voices of 13 Chinese immigrants. The author uses sharp and humanistic writing to record the real working and living conditions of these Chinese immigrants after they came to the United States. It mainly describes the transformation process of Chinese immigrants and their descendants in the United States. They constantly break and reshape their inner and outer selves, and they never stop striving upward and outward. And then create their unique image of understanding cultural values.
I carefully finished reading this book. This book records a series of experiences of Chinese people from first arriving in the United States to becoming American citizens. They had many difficulties such as not adapting to the United States when they first arrived, high work pressure, and poor pronunciation. Even when their conditions were difficult, they did not choose to give up. Because of this persistence, their lives got better and better after that, and they settled down in the United States, gave birth to children there, and experienced hardships and joys. When looking back on their lives, they felt that their lives were very happy. I was also very moved. I think it takes a lot of courage to leave a familiar place and familiar people and come to a strange country. They also managed to settle down and settle down there, which is very inspiring.
It's true, this is how I felt after reading this book. The United States is a place that is both familiar and unfamiliar to us. We often learn about this country from various news, but we on the other side of the ocean have always been ignorant of it. With full curiosity, many Chinese people boarded the ferry to the other side of the earth and started a new life. The author tells us the experience of those Chinese living in the United States in a very simple and unpretentious tone, showing us life in another country.
Through this book, I not only learned about American society, but the stories of the protagonists are also very exciting. It takes great courage and perseverance to enter the United States. I thank the author for his hard work and look forward to the next work!
The distance between home and foreign land seems not as far as imagined. This is the true voice of all Chinese immigrants, and translating their voices into words has become a way of self-realization and remembrance. After Lin Shiyu visited the streets and alleys of the United States and searched for Chinese people, he also re-examined his own national identity and feelings about his family and country. Living in these uncertain and turbulent years, she saw the prosperity and wealth of the United States and the extreme gap between the rich and the poor; similarly, she also gained a lot of touch and insights from countless ordinary people who worked hard.
It uses line drawing to tell the stories of Chinese people (Chinese Americans) living in the United States. It is told eloquently and slowly, but it is true and eye-catching. It is good. Moreover, each story is independent, suitable for people who don't have all the time to read.
If the movie is called a documentary, this book can be called a collection of records.
The reasons for this evaluation are: I interviewed more than 10 Chinese people in the United States who have basically settled there for more than 10 years. They are spread across different industries, including doctors, real estate agents, medical doctors, train mechanics, Chinese teachers, training institution teachers, etc. Have objective evaluation.
Here's my overall feeling:
1. The premise is that the United States was 10 years ago. I also longed to go to the United States 10 years ago. Half of the people in the book reveal that the croaking attitude of America is good, America is fragrant, and America is great makes me physically sick. I have to admit that the United States did have advantages at that time.
However, I brazenly boasted that the Americans were awesome at returning the ball that fell in their own yard, haha, I don't comment. Thinking about it on the other hand, everyone there said yes, which is a bit of a benefit.
I like the evaluation of the United States by Dr. Liu, an old Chinese aunt, and Ms. Liu Wenying with rich emotional experience: Human nature is the same everywhere, everyone sticks together and bullies others. Try more possibilities in your life, and you can have a place in the world.
2. The United States is a little different. To sum up the description of 3-5 people in the beautiful country, the human society is relatively simple, they are straightforward, put forward practical needs directly, become confident and bold, willing to help others, etc. It seems that the interpersonal relationship is relatively simple. What is complicated is the system and regulations. Most people who have just gone to beautiful countries suffer from this disadvantage. It is also important to not dare to speak out your own opinions, because others will bully those who dare not speak out.
The above can be a reference for friends who are about to go to the United States.
I like to learn about various things, especially world history, or new things about the world's advanced countries. This story about multiple people studying abroad aroused my interest even more. The narrative is very attractive, I haven't finished it yet, I'll comment after I finish it. [Like][Like][Like]
This book objectively and truly reflects the real work and life conditions of Chinese immigrants after immigrating to the United States. Let us understand that the United States is neither heaven nor hell, it is just another ordinary world with a mixture of joy and sorrow. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. We try to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses and learn more from the strengths of others. I think the same is true for the country.
They are all elites!
It is a good book that is very real, very inspirational, and very sentimental. I feel very sunny and warm after reading it. I hope to see new works [Like]
