    ?Community Across Boundaries: A Life History of Beijing's "Zhejiang Village"

    Author: Xiang Biao

    ?The true history of "North Drifting" that continues to this day.  Chinese cities, migrants, economy and society in transition.  A study on the thirty-year life records of "Zhejiang Village" and "Zhejiang Villagers" in Beijing.

    "Zhejiang Village" gradually gathered and formed in the Nanyuan area, 5 kilometers south of Beijing, in the 1980s.  Over the past 30 years, its special features of economic production and social reproduction, as well as the interactive evolution of internal space and external environment, have become a living sample for the study of China's floating population and urban socio-economic development, system, power and policy since the reform and opening up.

    With the help of fellow villagers, the author conducted field investigations on "Zhejiang Village" for six years in the mid-1990s, went deep into the daily life of "Zhejiang Villagers", and presented the mobile group of "Zhejiang Village" in detail with a writing technique almost line-drawing  Many details in the landing, development and changes.  For the formation, structure, operation, and changes of "Zhejiang Village", the life, production and operation of "Zhejiang Villagers" as "migrants" in Beijing, their rural conditions and people's wishes, and their interaction with the management department of the place of inflow and the place of household registration, etc., are all analyzed.  Very close analysis records.

    Last year, a friend recommended Xiang Biao's "Take Yourself as a Method", but I haven't read it. A few days ago, I saw a list of sociology books.  The first recommended these two.  Just a while ago, the topic of childbirth was very hot (not the Zheng S incident). I read Fei Xiaotong's "Birth System", which was obviously written during the Anti-Japanese War, but not only the language did not have the "spirit of the times", but the academic viewpoints and methodology were also very good.  , but also interesting.  The author of the book list also specifically mentioned that Xiang Biao's book is extremely interesting, and this series of foreshadowing finally eliminated my obstacles before reading, otherwise, because of the serious name of this book, I may have to put it on hold for a long time.

    In the past two years, two sociology works have become popular because of film and television works, one is "I am a mother, I need a platinum bag", which is miraculously popular because of "Thirty Only", and the other is "The Elegy of the Country People".  The movie of the same name was released last year.

    Both of these books were written by Yale students. The Birkin Package was written in a very general way. Xiang Biao¡¯s Zhejiang Village was his master¡¯s thesis in anthropology.  Maybe the whole Birkin Bag is not as good as the preface of Xiang Biao, and Nenghuo is really just to satisfy the public's desire to peek at the upper class.

    "The Elegy of the Countryman" is well written, but it is only good. The author's love for his hometown and relatives has added a lot of points to the work, but the actual research part is a bit watery, but this magical and "tiger mother"  Amy Chua is linked, the author's teacher is her, the image of the tiger mother in this book is much better than the one written by Amy Chua herself.

    Wait, I seem to have gone off topic and gone somewhere I don't know.  Back to the book.

    The group that the author focuses on are Wenzhou businessmen in Beijing in the 1980s and 1990s, and this field research is also very well done!  I almost doubt that the author can be an undercover agent. The first half is about the business history of Wenzhou merchants.

    Later on, I was most interested in the content of the game between the Wenzhou businessmen and the government. It turned out that people in the past were so bold that they went on strike, filed a class action lawsuit against Z, and went back to Zhejiang to find the local court and the government to come back to check and balance.  , mainly soft, and some of the "soft" is also very interesting, not the kind of benefit) delivery, but a bit of "love study"?  It's not very easy to describe, and I won't list some operations.  The communication between local z and Beijing is also very interesting.

    The relationship with Z in the chronological text is very rigid. Of course, I can understand the author's mentality of being afraid of getting angry, but sometimes this kind of game is actually very exciting, otherwise the house of cards would not be so popular in the first place.  This book can also be regarded as filling a gap in my chronology.

    There are many other very exciting parts, and I will not list them here.  Finally, I would like to say that my biggest excitement for reading this book is that I can see the author's curiosity about his research objects and his love for his academic work itself.  This is so rare. Foreign sociology books are better. Domestic ones don¡¯t know if it¡¯s my choice of books or what. Obviously I read the best books of the year, but they are all academic language and objective.  position!

    Obviously the author has written to the itchy place, but it feels like a smirk, and I can't see the author's excitement at all. There is a kind of conversation between the other party and me, chatting gossip, and the most exciting part of the chat, I am emotional.  On the contrary, she still didn't make any waves, and took me directly to cool down.  Many foreign academic works are objective records even if they are academic works, but you can really feel the author's temperature, like Anderson's "Life Outside the Coconut Shell Bowl", recalling your academic career and fieldwork experience, you can see it very well.  Encouraged, I wish I could go out and chat with people.

    Have this kind of positive emotionYes, naturally there are also negative energy, "Study, or work?"  "It was a day when a French doctoral student complained about writing his own dissertation. He struggled every day whether to continue reading or give up and go to work. A lot of self-deprecation was very sad. She was also very interesting about the points of interest in her thesis and the differences with the professor's guidance.  The escape psychology inside is also very real.  But the domestic academic works (only referring to the most famous ones) really can¡¯t see the feelings. You have put forward such a good point of view or conclusion, and you can be proud!

    In my personal reading experience, excluding the older generation of masters, I really have feelings for this book and "The Tiredness of Talented Women: Li Qingzhao and His Acceptance History". Uh, check it out, the author of Tired Talented Women is an American sinologist, okay?  When I first read it, I was very happy to see the author complain about some straight male cancer poets of Li Qingzhao's contemporaries.  The most ruthless person will take out and whip the corpse.  The language of this book is obviously academic, but because of the author's selfishness and empathy for Li Qingzhao's situation, I was able to read it smoothly.  I want to complain about Dai Jinhua so much here, but she has a lot of fans, so I give up.

    So when you read Xiang Biao's book, don't be afraid. The kind of book whose author has strong curiosity and enthusiasm is basically not particularly "difficult to read"!

    As a reminder, Xiang Biao's preface is very long, you can skip it first, and it is better to read the preface after reading the complete book.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
