具体描述
Weijian Shan'sOut of the Gobiis a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America.
Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America.Out of the Gobidraws a vivid picture of the raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds.
Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao's policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China's history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15 and denied schooling for 10 years, he endured untold hardships without ever giving up his dream for an education. Shan's improbable journey, from the Gobi to the "People's Republic of Berkeley" and far beyond, is a uniquely American success story - told with a splash of humor, deep insight and rich and engaging detail.
This powerful and personal perspective on China and America will inform Americans' view of China, humanizing the country, while providing a rare view of America from the prism of a keen foreign observer who lived the American dream.
Says former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen: "Shan's life provides a demonstration of what is possible when China and the United States come together, even by happenstance. It is not only Shan's personal history that makes this book so interesting but also how the stories of China and America merge in just one moment in time to create an inspired individual so unique and driven, and so representative of the true sprits of both countries."

虽然知道插队苦，知青难，但是没想到当年能苦到这个份儿上，我爸在大兴安岭我妈在湖北十堰的经历应该和作者差不多，真是命运弄人，改变了一代人的命运。感觉作者刻苦勤奋聪明幸运，虽然命运被大环境左右，但自己却仍能生活得不错，看完感觉格外励志。
评分##Fascinating life journey from 1954 to early 1990s. 有时现实比故事更夸张 佩服作者的耐性敢想敢做。知识可以改变命运 但也抵不过造化弄人。
评分##在时代的洪流中，命运看似不由自己掌控，但是作者没有放任自流。作为文革的牺牲品，本该上学的他被下放到内蒙古戈壁滩当农夫，但最终抓住改革开放、中美关系改善的契机出国深造，实现了自我价值。他的经历强有力地验证了两个朴素的道理——教育改变命运，机会只青睐有准备的人。在这个年纪读到这本书，感觉再折腾也不算晚。

评分##If i learned anything in the Gobi, it is to be always skeptical of authorities of any kind, especially the self-proclaimed ones.
评分##幸亏有下乡经历作为铺垫，流水似的枯燥记叙方式被增色不少，笔者的文笔实在一般.

评分##大串联 火车免费 过道座位底下 行李架上都睡满了人 所谓的四人帮 被推翻 是没道理的 好像一个犯罪集团是没人支持的一样。其他人都是听党指挥吗 四人帮就是毛的四人帮。关于作者本人的飞黄腾达细节甚少 中国历史甚多。所以又是一个少数的成功案例。浪费国家资源不是吗 送出去就不回来了 苦了底层的韭菜
