 Rating: - Just finished Factory GirlsI just finished reading Factory Girls. It had received a 5 star rating in a magazine review and I thought it might be good. It really was. I am a big lover of Chinese movies, and thought this book would provide a background between the old and the new. It didn't disappoint. My only critical thing was, I wish it was published today, as there have been major changes since Leslie Chang wrote it...I wonder about the girls and how many factories have closeed, what has happened to their families who ...

This book is by far the most fascinating book I ever read on life in China and its' factory workers. The author, Ms. Chang wrote an excellent thought provoking book. I literally could not put this book down, and found Mins and Chunmings lives quite unforgettable. For people interested in Chinas' socio-economic, cultural, and it's history, go and buy this book.

I read the author's WSJ article long time ago, so I was eagerly waiting for this book to come out. The stories are very interesting yet poignant at the same time. These girls' ambitions, hard work, & constant desire for self-improvement put those Americans who take everything they have for granted to shame. I admire the author's courageous effort in her research, following the girls to their factories, villages, and business meetings. Joining millions ... Read More Rating: - So glad someone finally wrote this bookFactory Girls is a non-fiction book written by an Chinese-American journalist. It focuses on the stories of girls who immigrate from rural Chinese villages to factories in more urban areas of China. The girls work in shoe factories, purse factories, factories that make one specific plastic piece for a larger item, and a lot of other factories, but their stories are all the same -- they left the village for better opportunities. I'm glad that someone finally wrote a book like this. People in America ... Read More
