Synopsis
Quienes son los chinos? Son realmente tan sacrificados y trabajadores? Promiscuos? Les interesa lo que pasa fuera de su pais? Antes de vivir en China, la periodista Ana Fuentes tenia una imagen estereotipada de sus gentes: personas infatigables, capaces de sobreponerse a cualquier adversidad, pero a menudo faltos de empatia. Hasta que los conocio. Durante cuatro anos descubrio un pais complejo y plagado de contradicciones, donde la economia crece a ritmo de vertigo, la corrupcion alcanza niveles desorbitados e Internet es sistematicamente censurado. Se gano la confianza de la gente, en general reticente a hablar con periodistas, y entrevisto a decenas de personas gracias a fluidez en mandarin. Leer Cuando los chinos hablan es adentrarse en las casas subterraneas donde viven los campesinos que emigran a las ciudades, beber champan en las discotecas de moda con jovenes millonarios y escuchar el relato escalofriante de un activista torturado. De la mano de Ana Fuentes conocemos a gente como la senora Zhen, una cuarentona que ejerce a escondidas la prostitucion, a Ma Chengcheng, una joven consumista que vive pegada a su computador o a Xiao Qiong, una de las millones de mujeres que se definen como tongqi ("esposa de homosexual"), casada con su mejor amigo gay para huir ambos de la presion social. Los relatos de Fuentes, reales y fascinantes, son indispensables para comprender de primera mano los entresijos de un pais destinado a convertirse en la primera potencia del mundo. La lealtad a la familia, la relacion con el poder y la cultura milenaria y las aspiraciones de futuro salen a la luz en este libro en el que los chinos, por fin, hablan., Quines son los chinos?
