书籍简介：

Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace's Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city's sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There's Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and cafe owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself but learns he's searching for something more. A tale of twenty-first-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China's distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.

书友短评：

@ 哎哟卧槽 这一批和平队的人也太仙了吧！本年度读过最好的非虚构作品，观感完全不亚于当年第一次读到江城。一条街上的小人物串起了当代中国的方方面面，每一个故事的层次都太丰富了！评价也是克制且客观的。 @ 糖伴西红柿 讲述了一条 3.2 公里的路上居住的一些人们的故事，覆盖了建国前后至今的中国人的大部分经历。有失落的十年，也有现在青年面临的问题，还有一些经济发展中的社会乱相，涉及到了挺多比较敏感的话题。推荐阅读。 @ · 何伟之后推荐的三个作家之一。其他两个是张彦（Ian Johnson）和梅英东（Michael Meyer） @ 躲猫猫社社长 长乐路上无“长乐”，这哪里是“长乐”路，分明是长恨歌 @ Elaine 一座城几十年的发展血泪竟然在一条街上反映的这么清楚。读完沿着长乐路走了一次，越长大越觉得 生活了这么多年的地方一瞬一瞬，翻天覆地的变了 @ 三点水 离我长大的地方不算远呢，景物都很熟悉，看他写葱油饼摊子都看饿了，写到梧桐树仿佛都能听见夏天的树叶声了。讲的话题很时效性，比何伟要批判很多，对人物的理解和共鸣相比何伟不够深，挺好的素材却写的平淡琐碎了，总之就是看着不够上头了。 @ 别回头呀 这么多年过去了，普通人的生活真的一点也没有变，还是艰难又曲折，可能更难了。叹气。 @ 沉默的爱普 看了一小半。对于外国人写的中国故事，我一向没有太大兴趣，因为本质上、这是写给外国人看的。故事中加入了很多历史事件片段，对外国人来说信息量很大，但对我就没有意味了。同理，豆瓣上一水说《江城》写活了中国人，但90年代的故事，我读了5%就坚持不下去了。 @ 抗氧化R 这是真实的肿腘一瞥，很认真的一瞥。这是我会推荐给西人朋友的一本讲肿腘的书。这是婉约温情岁静的何彼得的读者们所不习惯的、不愿面对的肿腘故事。 @ aiden “亲爱的上海，听说世界将要天下大同，但请告诉吾哪能做” — 顶马
