註釋A result of hundreds of interviews with Chinese of all ages and of all ranks, this personal, wide-reaching, and intelligent book speaks on several topics with some startling conclusions. "As Far Eastern correspondent for a Finnish news magazine, Jakobson, a fluent speaker of Mandarin and the daughter of a Finnish diplomat, mingled freely with Chinese from all walks of life. Among her noteworthy observations: many, if not most, Chinese have second jobs, which they keep secret from their main employer; China's vastly underfunded education system is a shambles; the news media has been placed under strict control since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre; clear-cut, ever-widening class divisions beset today's China. She's a wonderful writer, and her highly personal narrative is filled with genuine affection for the Chinese people -- and with contempt for a despotic regime that consigns hundreds of thousands to forced labour camps, and thousands to prison for voicing political dissent."
