她们拒绝套用公式人生！

独居超过二十年的好友金荷娜、黄善宇，渐渐厌倦一个人住的孤单与不安。她们偶然看上一间房子，便决定一起买下它，开启同居生活。

一起吃饭、一起运动、一起喝酒、一起当猫奴，不用奉养对方的父母，不用成为谁家的媳妇，生病了互相照顾，困难时互相帮助……她们找到了单身的轻盈感与有人相伴的温暖并存的美妙……

“我和朋友们曾置身于90年代的热带风暴。我用自行车带着朋友，笔直冲进水泊，奋力踩着踏板。
而后，我们共同来到了干燥的下世纪。”

Nearly eleven million Chinese migrants live outside of China. While many of these faces of China’s globalization headed for the popular Western destinations of the United States, Australia and Canada, others have been lured by the booming Asian economies. Compared with pre-1949 Chinese migrants, most are wealthier, motivated by a variety of concerns beyond economic survival and loyal to the communist regime. The reception of new Chinese migrants, however, has been less than warm in some places. In Singapore, tensions between Singaporean-Chinese and new Chinese arrivals present a puzzle: why are there tensions between ethnic Chinese settlers and new Chinese arrivals despite similarities in phenotype, ancestry and customs? Drawing on rich empirical data from ethnography and digital ethnography, Contesting Chineseness: Nationality, Class, Gender and New Chinese Migrants investigates this puzzle and details how ethnic Chinese subjects negotiate their identities in an age of contemporary Chinese migration and China’s ascent.

"Commercial dating agencies that facilitate marriages across national borders comprise a $2.5-billion-dollar global industry. Ideas about the industry are rife with stereotypes--younger, more physically attractive brides from non-Western countries being paired with older Western men. These ideas are more myth than fact, Monica Liu finds in Seeking Western Men. Her study of China's email-order bride industry offers stories of Chinese women who are primarily middle-aged, divorced, and proactively seeking spouses to fulfill their material and sexual needs. What they seek in their Western partners is tied to what they believe they've lost in the shifting global economy around them. The majority of these women do not speak English, and so rely on translators to help with, especially, the early stages of courtship: email correspondence. Ranging from multi-millionaire entrepreneurs or ex-wives and mistresses of wealthy Chinese businessmen, to contingent sector workers and struggling single mothers, these women, along with their translators and potential husbands from the U.S., Canada, and Australia, make up the actors in this multifaceted story. Set against the backdrop of China's global economic ascendance and a relative decline of the West, this book asks: How does China's rise reshape Chinese women's perception of Western masculinity? Moreover, how do the women's own divergent class positions within China shape the outcome of their marital trajectories differently? Through the unique window of global internet dating, this book reveals how China's rise on the world stage reshapes relationships of race, class, gender, sex, and intimacy across borders. More broadly, Seeking Western Men looks at how the people for whom late-stage capitalism has not provided its promised advantages have sought to take matters into their own hands. The global dating industry, for them, acts as a surrogate for recapturing their agency in a world that has left them behind"--

A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu, a gripping memoir on friendship, grief, the search for self, and the solace that can be found through art.

“This book is exquisite and excruciating and I will be thinking about it for years and years to come.” —Rachel Kushner, two-time National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room

In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken—with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity—is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes ’zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them.

But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken become friends, a friendship built on late-night conversations over cigarettes, long drives along the California coast, and the successes and humiliations of everyday college life. And then violently, senselessly, Ken is gone, killed in a carjacking, not even three years after the day they first meet.

Determined to hold on to all that was left of one of his closest friends—his memories—Hua turned to writing. Stay True is the book he’s been working on ever since. A coming-of-age story that details both the ordinary and extraordinary, Stay True is a bracing memoir about growing up, and about moving through the world in search of meaning and belonging.

An in-depth examination of the regulatory, entrepreneurial, and organizational factors contributing to the expansion and transformation of China’s supplemental education industry.
Like many parents in the United States, parents in China, increasingly concerned with their children’s academic performance, are turning to for-profit tutoring businesses to help their children get ahead in school. China’s supplemental education industry is now the world’s largest and most vibrant for-profit education market, and we can see its influence on the US higher education system: more than 70% of Chinese students studying in American universities have taken test preparation classes for overseas standardized tests. The Fruits of Opportunism offers a much-needed thorough investigation into this industry. This book examines how opportunistic organizations thrived in an ambiguous policy environment and how they catalyzed organizational and institutional changes in this industry.
A former insider in China’s Education Industry, sociologist Le Lin shows how and why this industry evolved to become a for-profit one dominated by private, formal, nationally operating, and globally financed corporations, despite restrictions the Chinese state placed on the industry. Looking closely at the opportunistic organizations that were founded by marginal entrepreneurs and quickly came to dominate the market, Lin finds that as their non-compliant practices spread across the industry, these opportunistic organizations pushed privatization and marketization from below. The case of China’s Education Industry laid out in The Fruits of Opportunism illustrates that while opportunism leaves destruction in its wake, it can also drive the formation and evolution of a market.

A new creation by the author of Severance , the stories in Bliss Montage crash through our carefully built mirages

What happens when fantasy tears through the screen of the everyday to wake us up? Could that waking be our end?

In Bliss Montage , Ling Ma brings us eight wildly different tales of people making their way through the madness and reality of our collective delusions: love and loneliness, connection and possession, friendship, motherhood, the idea of home. From a woman who lives in a house with all of her ex-boyfriends, to a toxic friendship built around a drug that makes you invisible, to an ancient ritual that might heal you of anything if you bury yourself alive, these and other scenarios reveal that the outlandish and the everyday are shockingly, deceptively, heartbreakingly similar.

Study Gods offers a rare look at the ways privileged youth in China prepare themselves to join the ranks of the global elite. Yi-Lin Chiang shows how these competitive Chinese high schoolers first become “study gods” (xueshen), a term describing academically high-performing students. Constant studying, however, is not what explains their success, for these young people appear god-like in their effortless abilities to excel. Instead, Chiang explores how elite adolescents achieve by absorbing and implementing the rules surrounding status.
Drawing from eight years of fieldwork and extensive interviews, Chiang reveals the important lessons that Chinese youth learn in their pursuit of elite status. They understand the hierarchy of the status system, recognizing and acquiring the characteristics that are prized, while avoiding those that are not. They maintain status by expecting differential treatment and performing status-based behaviors, which guide their daily interactions with peers, teachers, and parents. Lastly, with the help of resourceful parents, they rely on external assistance in the face of potential obstacles and failures. Chiang looks at how students hone these skills, applying them as they head to colleges and careers around the world, and in their relationships with colleagues and supervisors.
Highlighting another facet of China’s rising power, Study Gods announces the arrival of a new generation to the realm of global competition.

A Taiwanese American woman’s coming of consciousness ignites eye-opening revelations and chaos on a college campus in this outrageously hilarious yet startlingly tender debut novel
29-year-old PhD student Ingrid Yang is desperate to finish her dissertation on the late canonical poet, Xiao-Wen Chou, and never read about “Chinese-y” things again. But after four years of painstaking research, she has nothing but anxiety and stomach pain to show for her efforts. When she accidentally stumbles upon a strange and curious note in the Chou archives, she convinces herself it’s her ticket out of academic hell.

But Ingrid’s in much deeper than she thinks. Her clumsy exploits to unravel the note’s message lead to an explosive discovery, one that upends her entire life and the lives of those around her. With her trusty friend Eunice Kim by her side and her rival Vivian Vo hot on her tail, together they set off a rollercoaster of mishaps and misadventures, from campus protests and OTC drug hallucinations, to book burnings and a movement that stinks of “Yellow Peril” propaganda.

In the aftermath, nothing looks quite the same to Ingrid—including her gentle and doting fiancé, Stephen Greene. When he embarks on a book tour with the “super kawaii” Japanese author he’s translated, doubts and insecurities creep in. At the same time, she finds herself drawn to the cool and aloof Alex Kim (even though she swears he’s not her type). As the events Ingrid instigated keep spiraling, she’ll have to confront her sticky relationship to white men and white institutions—and most of all, herself.

An uproarious and bighearted satire, alive with sharp edges, immense warmth, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Disorientation is both a blistering send-up of white supremacy in academia, and a profound reckoning of a Taiwanese American woman’s complicity and unspoken rage. In this electrifying debut novel from a provocative new voice, Chou asks who gets to tell our stories—and how the story changes when we finally tell it ourselves.

这是一位心理治疗师的回忆录，讲述了发生在诊室中的故事。在这个小小的密闭空间里，人们会展现出最真实、最脆弱的一面；也是在这里，人们获得了陪伴和倾听，也获得了宝贵的觉察、成长与改变。

在书中，我们会看到四个来访者的故事，他们是：

一个四十多岁、事业成功、自以为是，认为身边所有人都是蠢货的好莱坞制片人；

一个三十多岁、刚刚新婚就被诊断出患有绝症，时日不多的大学女教师；

一个六十九岁、离过三次婚，感觉孤独绝望，声称生活再不好转就要在七十岁生日当天自杀的老太太；

一个二十多岁、有原生家庭创伤和酗酒问题，在爱情中频频受挫的姑娘。

同时，书中还有第五个寻求帮助的人，那就是治疗师自己。她是一个单身的职场妈妈，四十多岁时遭遇失恋，几乎崩溃。有朋友对她说“或许你该找个人聊聊”，于是她也给自己找了一位心理治疗师。当她切换到来访者的位置，坐到另一位心理治疗师的沙发上诉说自己内心的脆弱与悲伤，就更能感受到心理治疗为何具有治愈和改变的力量。

这本书从治疗师和来访者的双重视角展现了心理治疗的过程，让我们发现：无论身份背景有多相异，人类面对的烦恼其实都相通——爱与被爱、遗憾、选择、控制、不确定、死亡，这些都是我们身而为人必须共同学习面对的议题。我们在现实生活中所遭遇的切肤之痛和生命困境，都能在这本书中得到共鸣、找到希望。

本书是2019年美国众多媒体推荐的心理自助书——它荣登《纽约时报》《时代》《人物》《综艺》等媒体年度必读书榜单，是美国亚马逊当年度销售TOP10图书、哈佛商学院年度推荐图书，它的有声书版本也是当年Audible非虚构类有声书第一名。刚上市一个月，这本书就冲上了美国亚马逊图书总榜TOP100和《纽约时报》畅销榜；出版两年来，已经在全球授权了四十多个语言版本，总销量超过七十万册，并且正在拍摄电视连续剧，由曾出演《绝望主妇》的知名演员伊娃·朗格利亚担纲主演。

享誉全球的心理学泰斗、美国斯坦福大学精神病学终身荣誉教授欧文·亚隆为这本书写下推荐语：“我读心理治疗的书超过半个世纪了，但从来没见过这样的书：这么大胆、这么直白、这么多好故事，又这么深刻而引人入胜。”

国内知名心理学家李松蔚为这本书担任专业审校，并写下推荐序：“读这本书的过程，就是在灵魂的方寸之地一寸寸探索。越往下，越是晦暗幽深，于无声处听惊雷。”

Candace Chen, a millennial drone self-sequestered in a Manhattan office tower, is devoted to routine. So she barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York. Then Shen Fever spreads. Families flee. Companies halt operations. The subways squeak to a halt. Soon entirely alone, still unfevered, she photographs the eerie, abandoned city as the anonymous blogger NY Ghost.

Candace won’t be able to make it on her own forever, though. Enter a group of survivors, led by the power-hungry IT tech Bob. They’re traveling to a place called the Facility, where, Bob promises, they will have everything they need to start society anew. But Candace is carrying a secret she knows Bob will exploit. Should she escape from her rescuers?

A send-up and takedown of the rituals, routines, and missed opportunities of contemporary life, Ling Ma’s Severance is a quirky coming-of-adulthood tale and satire.

How does graduate admissions work? Who does the system work for, and who falls through its cracks? More people than ever seek graduate degrees, but little has been written about who gets in and why. Drawing on firsthand observations of admission committees and interviews with faculty in 10 top-ranked doctoral programs in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, education professor Julie Posselt pulls back the curtain on a process usually conducted in secret.
Inside Graduate Admissions presents admissions from decision makers' point of view, including thought-provoking episodes of committees debating the process, interviewing applicants, and grappling with borderline cases. Who ultimately makes the admit list reveals as much about how professors see themselves--and each other--as it does about how they view students. Professors in these programs say that they admit on merit, but they act on different meanings of the term. Disciplinary norms shape what counts as merit, as do professors' ideas about intelligence and their aversions to risk, conflict, ambiguity, and change. Professors also say that they seek diversity, but Posselt shows that their good intentions don't translate into results. In fact, faculty weigh diversity in only a small fraction of admissions decisions. Often, they rely upon criteria that keep longstanding inequalities in place.
More equitable outcomes occur when admissions committees are themselves diverse and when members take a fresh look at inherited assumptions that affect their judgment. To help academic departments promote transparency and accountability, Posselt closes with concrete strategies to improve admissions review.

一本来自人类学、社会学、政治经济学、营养学等领域的儿童饮食调查报告
关注中国独生子女群体的食品消费、全球化经济影响下的儿童食品变迁
**********************************************************************************
本书的形成源于哈佛大学人类学系资深教授华琛(James L. Watson)在费正清中国研究中心发起的“中国社会饮食消费格局”研究项目。九名作者中包括华琛本人，华琛教授的老同事，六人是华琛先生的弟子，因而论文相互呼应的程度非同寻常，在文集类书籍中实属难得。
全书围绕五个议题铺开而论：一是改革开放后中国人的饮食营养，二是儿童食品产业在中国的兴起，三是国家科学育儿话语，四是全球消费文化对中国家庭生活的渗透，五是饮食变迁伴随的社会认同和价值观变迁。
“小皇帝”一词向来被联想到被娇生惯养的独生子女，但所有作者对此都采取了慎重对待的态度，没有简单粗暴地认定独子女必然会有这样或那样的心理问题或某些固化偏执的行为习惯。作者们将更具有学术价值的讨论集中在一连串的具体问题上。例如，郭于华关心的食品和饮食习惯所代表的代际差异问题与景军讨论的科学话语、宗教信念、电视广告在儿童食品消费领域的博弈问题都分析了儿童、家长、老人三代人的代际关系。
*******************************************************************************************
在中国独生子女家庭这个富有争议的议题研究上，景军主编的论文集向前推进了重要的一步。全书没有任何薄弱章节。正如华琛教授总结的那样，这本书的独一无二之处在于，它率先观察到了在对儿童的社会态度上的深刻历史转变。

本书呈现了一种对文化和饮食行为变迁的丰富描述，指出了研究的多样性以及中国健康研究的未来。

A witty, moving, piercingly insightful new novel about a marvelously complicated woman who can’t be anyone but herself, from the award-winning author of Chemistry
“A deeply felt portrait . . . With gimlet-eyed observation laced with darkly biting wit, Weike Wang masterfully probes the existential uncertainty of being other in America.”—Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere
Joan is a thirtysomething ICU doctor at a busy New York City hospital. The daughter of Chinese parents who came to the United States to secure the American dream for their children, Joan is intensely devoted to her work, happily solitary, successful. She does look up sometimes and wonder where her true roots lie: at the hospital, where her white coat makes her feel needed, or with her family, who try to shape her life by their own cultural and social expectations.
Once Joan and her brother, Fang, were established in their careers, her parents moved back to China, hoping to spend the rest of their lives in their homeland. But when Joan’s father suddenly dies and her mother returns to America to reconnect with her children, a series of events sends Joan spiraling out of her comfort zone just as her hospital, her city, and the world are forced to reckon with a health crisis more devastating than anyone could have imagined.
Deceptively spare yet quietly powerful, laced with sharp humor, Joan Is Okay touches on matters that feel deeply resonant: being Chinese-American right now; working in medicine at a high-stakes time; finding one’s voice within a dominant culture; being a woman in a male-dominated workplace; and staying independent within a tight-knit family. But above all, it’s a portrait of one remarkable woman so surprising that you can’t get her out of your head.
