ABOUT PETER'S WORK
Peter Hessler is a long-form journalist whose three books and numerous magazine articles explore the complexities of life in Reform Era China as it undergoes one of the fastest social transformations in history. Drawing upon a decade-long immersion in Chinese culture as well as extensive travels and historical research, Hessler writes with a novelist's attention to detail and structures his stories around the compelling characters he encounters. Offering Anglophone readers perspectives on China that delve well beyond those of standard news coverage, he provides moving and keenly observed accounts of how ordinary people — ranging from students to farmers to engineers and entrepreneurs — respond to rapidly shifting opportunities and constraints. His first book, River Town (2001), chronicles his experiences teaching in the remote province of Sichuan, in a small city about to be flooded by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. In Oracle Bones (2006), Hessler expands upon shorter articles originally published in the New Yorker, juxtaposing portraits of several different Chinese lives to discern larger themes in the manner of an archaeologist arranging and interpreting fragments from the past. The personal stories he recounts include those of a migrant factory worker, a Uighur money-trader seeking political asylum in the United States, and a scholar of oracle bone inscriptions, an early form of Chinese writing. Hessler's third book, Country Driving (2010), investigates the effects of China's auto boom on regions ranging from all-but-abandoned rural villages to expanding industrial centers. With recent pieces focused on other locales and subjects, such as the American Southwest and a Peace Corps project in Nepal, he continues to weave multiple narrative threads into richly illuminating depictions of people and places confronted with a staggering pace of change.

BIOGRAPHY
Peter Hessler received a B.A. (1992) from Princeton University and a B.A. (1994) from the University of Oxford. He served as Beijing correspondent for the New Yorker from 2000 to 2007, and he continues to publish articles and essays in the New Yorker as well as National Geographic.

关于彼得的工作
彼得-海斯勒是一位长篇新闻记者,他的三本书和大量杂志文章探讨了改革时代的中国在经历历史上最快的社会转型过程中的复杂生活。凭借对中国文化长达十年的沉浸,以及广泛的旅行和历史研究,海斯勒以小说家的方式关注细节,并围绕他遇到的引人入胜的人物构造故事。他向英语读者提供的关于中国的观点远远超出了标准的新闻报道,他提供了感人和敏锐的观察,讲述了普通人--从学生到农民到工程师和企业家--如何应对迅速变化的机会和限制。他的第一本书《江城》(2001年)记录了他在偏远的四川省,一个即将被三峡大坝建设淹没的小城市的教学经历。在《甲骨文》(2006年)中,海斯勒对最初发表在《纽约客》上的短篇文章进行了扩展,将几个不同的中国人的肖像并列在一起,以考古学家整理和解释过去碎片的方式,揭示出更大的主题。他讲述的个人故事包括一个工厂的移民工人、一个在美国寻求政治庇护的维吾尔族钱商,以及一个研究甲骨文(一种早期中国文字形式)的学者。Hessler的第三本书《乡村驾驶》(2010年)调查了中国汽车业繁荣对从几乎被遗弃的农村到不断扩张的工业中心等地区的影响。最近的作品专注于其他地区和主题,如美国西南部和尼泊尔的和平队项目,他继续将多种叙事线索编织成对面临惊人变化速度的人和地方的丰富启发性描写。

个人简历
彼得-海斯勒在普林斯顿大学获得学士学位(1992年),在牛津大学获得学士学位(1994年)。2000年至2007年,他担任《纽约客》的北京记者,并继续在《纽约客》和《国家地理》杂志上发表文章和论文。
