(展开全部) 　　A first-hand account of the remarkable transformation of China over the past forty years as seen through the life of an award-winning journalist and his four Chinese classmates
　　As a twenty-year-old exchange student from Stanford University, John Pomfret spent a year at Nanjing University in China. His fellow classmates were among those who survived the twin tragedies of Mao’s rule—the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution—and whose success in government and private industry today are shaping China’s future. Pomfret went on to a career in journalism, spending the bulk of his time in China. After attending the twentieth reunion of his class, he decided to reacquaint himself with some of his classmates. Chinese Lessons is their story and his own.
　　Beginning with Pomfret’s first days in China, Chinese Lessons takes us back to the often torturous paths that brought together the Nanjing University History Class of 1982. One classmate’s father was killed during the Cultural Revolution for the crime of being an intellectual; another classmate labored in the fields for years rather than agree to a Party-arranged marriage; a third was forced to publicly denounce and humiliate her father. As we watch Pomfret and his classmates begin to make their lives as adults, we see as never before the human cost and triumph of China’s transition from near-feudal communism to first-world capitalism.
　　作者John Pomfret(潘爱文或潘文)，1977年入斯坦福大学，1980年代初作为斯坦福大学国际交流学生来到中国南京大学历史系学习，John Pomfret是第一批来华学习的美国大学生之一。毕业后任美联社驻中国大陆、香港、越南、印度、南斯拉夫记者。亲历1989年天安门民运，后被官方驱逐出境。1990年代后被获准重新进入中国。1992年海湾战争期间任战地记者，同年担任华盛顿邮报驻巴尔干半岛首席记者。1998年任华盛顿邮报北京分社社长、首席记者。2003年美国亚洲学会授予他Osborn Eliott奖。现为华盛顿邮报洛杉矶办事处主管。

新中国还是旧中国

Pomfret就是六四的时候被首批驱逐出境的潘爱文. 潘同学是标准的中国爱好者. 他1980年就作为交换学生在南京大学历史系读了将近两年的书. 南京大学当时允许外国学生和中国学生住在一起, 所以他在一个窄小的, 潮湿的, 总是晾满了衣服散发着蒜臭的学生宿舍里面, 和其它七个普通的大学生生活了一年多. 这段经历对他日后成...... (3回应)
