特别有意思。一些有意思的点：闹鬼作为一种政治反抗；女性在村庄中的权力在解放之前反而因为有一些另类经济/宗教安排得以维系，解放之后将权力收归国家反而剥夺了女性权力；村庄每三代消灭一次宗族记忆，得以维系一种村庄中的人人平等；村庄富裕人家承担“政府”以及衔接地方-中央权力的责任，一种前政府的再分配；村庄里大家的schema 是人的身体与所处空间有象形的联系，一个人的痛苦可以成为一家人的痛苦、全村人的痛苦。

"In terms of its richness of data, this is one of the best ethnographies I have read about any locale anywhere. It is also exemplary in its novel and creative synthesis of literary analysis and more conventional social science-oriented anthropology. . . . The book has a consistent focus, both disturbing and riveting, on the ways that pain, loss, and social upheaval are woven into people's attempts to reconstitute new lives over some fifty years of rapid social change."—P. Steven Sangren, author of Chinese Sociologics
"Mueggler writes with uncommon grace, elegance, and charm. . . . Readers will come away from this book with lasting memories of various aspects of these peoples’ lives—death, hunger, fear, sex, humor—and with an understanding of their all-too-powerful humanity as well as their genius for adapting their lives to the often-changing demands of the communist state."
Robert B. Edgerton, author of Death or Glory
"A rare work that really gives us a new way of thinking about what modernity (or one version of it, anyway) means to people who have had it thrust upon them involuntarily."
Kenneth Pomeranz, author of The Great Divergence
