《看见》是知名记者和主持人柴静讲述央视十年历程的自传性作品,既是柴静个人的成长告白书,某种程度上亦可视作中国社会十年变迁的备忘录。

十年前她被选择成为国家电视台新闻主播,却因毫无经验而遭遇挫败,非典时期成为现场记者后,现实生活犬牙交错的切肤之感,让她一点一滴脱离外在与自 我的束缚,对生活与人性有了更为宽广与深厚的理解。十年之间,非典、汶川地震、两会报道、北京奥运……在每个重大事件现场,几乎都能发现柴静的身影,而如华南虎照、征地等刚性的调查报道她也多有制作。在书中,她记录下淹没在宏大叙事中的动人细节,为时代留下私人的注脚。一如既往,柴静看见并记录下新闻中给她留下强烈生命印象的个人,每个人都深嵌在世界之中,没有人可以只是一个旁观者,他人经受的,我必经受。书中记录下的人与事,是他们的生活,也是你和我的生活。

柴静在这本书里写了自己的成熟与成长,但是我好像看到了自己,很有共鸣。讲了很多采访的故事,看见了这个社会很多阴暗面,也看到了很多事情并没有新闻里报道的那样阴暗。有很多感动,也让我思考了很多。重新认识了记者这个职业,并没有原来想象的那么脸谱化。柴静有很多理想主义的东西让我很有共鸣。在最后讲到一个人的成长时,以前听见不同意见第一反应就是反驳,现在会「先假定你是对的」。突然觉得,可能每个人都是可以被理解的,也是需要被理解的。PS,她的文笔还不错。

巧在我开始读这本书正值新冠在国内爆发的前一个星期,我读到非典那一段,深感柴静的每一个描写都透着对众生的悲悯和对生命的觉察。一个个平凡而震撼的故事和人物-非典,妓女的生活,支教的外国人,得抑郁症的孩子-被柴静利落,飒爽,理性,甚至时有顽皮倔强的口吻叙述着,都是热乎乎的人性。她也让我瞥进了记者这个行业,它的操守,它的日常,它里面工作人员秉持的理想,它直向真理的利刃(or the opposite),它在这个复杂而不失恶意的世界中的无力。以下是一些摘要。

“他写道:准确是这一工种最重要的手艺,而自我感动、感动先行,是准确最大的敌人, 真想常流失于涕泪交加中。”

“真实的人性有无尽的可能。善当然存在,但恶也可能一直存在。歉意不一定能弥补,伤害却有可能被原谅,忏悔也许存在,也许永远没有,都无法强制,强制出来也没有意义。一个片子里的人,心里有什么,记者只要别拿石头拦着,他自己会流淌出来的, 有就有,没有就没有。斯宾诺莎还说过一句:希望和失望也绝不能是善,因为恐惧是一种痛苦,希望不能脱离恐惧而存在, 所以希望和失望都表示知识的缺乏, 和心灵的软弱无力。这话太硬了,我消化了好久。他界定观察的实质是,不赞美,不责难, 甚至也不惋惜,但求了解认识而已。”

“陈虻说,宽容的基础是理解,你理解吗?”

“他说做自己的行业, 就要做点不求速成的事。”

“事后他写:这些事情全都失败了, 失败得非常严重,但假如当时就能成功, 不成熟的事情就会变得很大,而我自己就会变成我自己不喜欢的那种人,命运通过失败指出该走的路。”

“卢安克说,文明就是停下来想一想自己在做什么。”

“我当时一惊,担心他坠入虚无, 如果不是为了改变,那我们做什么?‘当然会发生改变, 改变自会发生, 但这不是我的目的, 也不是我的责任,不是压在我肩膀上的。’‘改变不是目的?’ 我喃喃自语。‘它压着太重了,也做不到。’他说,‘但你不这么想的时候,它自己会发生。’听他说话, 内心长久砌起来的砖石一块块土崩瓦解 -- 不是被禅悟式的玄妙一掌推翻,是被严整的逻辑体系,一步步,一块块,卸除的过程。我问‘你原来也有那种着急的要改变的状态,怎么就变了不那样了。’‘慢慢理解为什么是这个样子, 理解了就觉得当然是这样了。’”

“脑子里没有障碍才是自由。”

“卢安克说‘我的学生要找到自己生活的路,可是什么是他们的路,我不可能知道。我想给他们的是走这条路所需要的才能和力量。”

“他写过,‘感受’不是欲望和情绪, 没有‘要达到什么’的动机,只是‘诚实和持续不断地对事物平静观察’。卢安克要的不是别人按他的方式生活, 恰恰是要让人从‘非人’的社会经验里解放出来,成为独立的自己。人们不需要在他那里寻找超我,只需要不去阻止自己身上饱含的人性。”

“背地里我问他‘我怎么老没办法改变我的弱点?’ 他说‘如果那么容易的话,还要这么漫长的人生干什么。’”

“只有当人们能感到创建自己世界的满足,不会与别人去比较,不会因为钱,因为外界的压力感到被抛弃,这才是真正的归属。”

“纪律可以带来秩序,但却是被动的。只有一个人归属于一件事情,一群人,一个社会,才会有认同和发自内心去照顾它的愿望。”

“教育,是人与人之间,也是自己与自己之间发生的事,它永不停止,‘就像一个树摇动一棵树,一朵云触碰另一朵云,一个灵魂唤醒另一个灵魂,只要这样的传递和唤醒不停止,我们就不会告别卢安克。’”

“陈虻活着,就像一片紧紧卷紧的叶子要使尽全部力气挣开一样,不是为了得到什么, 也不是要取悦他,他要完成。他的寂寞不是孤单,是没完成。”

“‘你必须退让的时候,就必须退让。但在你必须选择机会前进的时候,必须前进。这是一种火候的拿捏,需要对自己的终极目标非常清醒,非常冷静,对支撑这种目标的理念非常清醒,非常冷静。你非常清楚地知道自己的靶子在哪儿,退到一环,甚至脱靶都没关系。环境需要你脱靶的时候, 你可以脱靶,这就是运作的策略,但你不能失去自己的目标,那是堕落。’‘不要堕落’他说。我以为我失去了他,但是没有。”

I like this book because the author, a journalist, offered a special view to some issues in China. She did not conclude simply as good or bad, but she delved deep into those people's heart and mind, presenting a complex humanity, sometimes helpless, sometimes beautiful, or maybe sometimes evil.

It's the second time I read this book. I loved it the first time and wanted to read it again.

It is a very insightful reflection as a reporter, and a very honest sharing of her growth journey. But the learning and insights go beyond her job and career.

Fundamentally, Jing discusses what is the right attitude a good reporter should have: involved but impartial at the same time, asking the right questions but without predefined judgement, build connection but without overwhelming emotion, etc.

All these are also very important for anyone who want's to build meaningful relations with other people, strangers or otherwise. More broadly, it also makes me reconsider the general attitude towards life and the world: how should I position myself in order to maximize my understanding of the world - involved but impartial, ask the right qn but without predefined judgement etc.

It is a great book and I think I will re-read it again some time later. And I am very impressed by how much Jing grows and learns constantly and reflects on her own approach.

My dad recommended this book to me. He told me that this book was true stories written by a famous journalist in China. The author 柴静(Jing, Chai)wrote about her experience of being a journalist. How she saw the story behind the news, how she learn to listen to different points of view, learn not to bring her own attitudes or moods during the interviews.
Nothing is easy. Leaning to be journalist is not easy. Being a journalist,watching people’s lives is not easy. Living with a kind and strong heart is not easy. Even reading this book is not that easy in the result of some stories represented in this book were too ruthless and sad. One story in this book was about a wife killed her husband because of domestic violence. Does the husband deserver it? Yes, because how cruel and violent he was to his family. No, because all the pressure he got made him irrational. Was the wife right? Yes, because she had been tortured for so long. No, because she shouldn’t kill people anyways. The wife got into prison, leaving her child alone. All the problems were struggling me. The author’s opinions and actions were also struggling me. I was so frustrated when I still had a chapter left for this book. So I stopped. Then I realized that everything is not that hard after all. I kept telling myself to stop worrying. As i continued reading again, I found my self in common with the author. We both see things in tiny incident. A word that people say may make me think about everything for the whole week. But after all, we can both find a way to solve things.
This book didn’t only make me think about lives but also make me find ways to comfort myself.

This is my second time reading this book. When I first read it during childhood, I did not really understand the complex societal issues that Jing grappled with as a journalist, and the thin line she walked between reporting truthful news and political propaganda.
Jing's reflections on her career as a reporter teaches me how to become a better journalist for my school's newspaper as well. She encompasses all the qualities of a good and professional journalist-involved but impartial at the same time, asking sharp questions but without predefined judgement, building meaningful connections with interviewees, and resonating with their emotions without getting too carried away.
She is always on the frontline, from SARS quarantining hospitals, to marginalized LGBTQ groups, to the devastating Tangshan Earthquake. Jing's writing doesn't contain much embellishments, but conveys her journey as a reporter in the most rational voice. Her refrain from sentimental phrases, however, didn't stop me from crying over her pages. Presenting the most simple facts of native cultures, such as the children left behind in rural villages when their parents labored in urban areas, unleashed a flow of emotions and reminded me of my own life in a foreign country, away from my parents and relatives.
In the end, this book is worth rereading many times, and her impressive personal growth as a journalist inspires me to report truthful information and make a substantial impact in my boarding community.

几个月前看完柴静的《看见》,一开始觉得书写得一般,和叙事类书籍相比没有什么特别之处。书里叙事从报道非典,汶川地震,北京奥运,到为网瘾少年,家暴女性,和贫困儿童发声,感觉讲了一个记者的vlog。读完才慢慢了解柴静对新闻事实的坚守以及因此塑造的公知形象。直到后来的《穹顶之下》,才后知后觉她已经不再屏幕中出现了。

之后,武汉疫情刚爆发时前线的公民记者FB,CQS,还有LZH都在百度搜不到任何负面消息的时候,才开始思考中国记者的身份和使命。也才慢慢懂得《看见》里面柴静的娓娓道来,事情根据,和不偏不倚。

什么是公知?

以独立的身份,借助知识和精神的力量,对社会表现出强烈的公共关怀,体现出一种公共良知,并有社会参与意识。

暂且不对柴静功过做评论,只单纯从记者的角度分析这个行业的本质。记者是揭示和报道事实真相的媒体人。他们穿梭于知识,行业,以及社会三个不同领域,准确提取并传递事情背后的真相。而记者应该在意的不是社会的反馈舒不舒服,而是应该营造一种病友之间相互探问的,给对方,给社会一个发声的机会。

记者也可能量化出自己的观点和反馈。或许和社会普遍大众能接受的相违背,但是不代表这个观点就是错的。一个健全的社会应该包容多种观点,和你不一样的不一定是错的,你的观点也不是绝对正确,而这就或许是观点独立性以及多样性的魅力。

��近知乎实名制了,原本虚拟网络中可以任意发挥的知识和观点载体,现在变成了皇帝的新衣。没有那么多的无所忌惮畅想连篇了,反而多了顺从,多了后顾之忧,到最后放而随之。那种“没事儿,该死屌朝上”的武汉前线记者精神,换来的却是寸步难行。拖着行李跑步,是���有办法不朝后看看,艰难追赶。

探索就是不断相信,不断怀疑,不断幻灭,不断摧毁,不断重建,为的只是避免成为偏见的附庸。

我们的探索,是不是被枷锁了?可能吧。

观点本来不应该从众,社会价值本来不应该唯一。唯有深刻认识事物,才能对人和世界的复杂性有了解和体谅,也才有不轻易责难和赞美的思维。而现如今的网络社会和键盘侠,因为“凡尔赛”被人肉到体无完肤,因为观点逆向被大众遗弃,和因为挖掘真相而被扔进泥潭。太多的因果,却始终一个判定标准。

传言是因为新闻的封闭,而一个了解事物原有的人,才是幸福的。社会的发展属性不应该惩罚想寻找事物原有根本原因的人,而应该去拥抱公开透明的社会机制,观点的独立以及多样性,这才是真正的自由吧?

那我们是期待看见独立的观点,还是当��没看见?

Instead of being an autobiography, it’s more like a novel based on her own experiences. The way she narrate her mind work, the well-constructed story line, and even some subtle but delicate environmental description, all that make this book more like a novel, which is easier and funnier to read.
A first-person view novel described an ambitious young journalist went through the early phase of new China’s society and new China‘s journalism. I’ve got to point out that means this book can be very subjective, can’t know the whole Chinese developing process through this, nor can we have a full understanding of how journalism looked alike in China.

the stories and messages expressed in this book reflect so many social issues that are oftentimes ignored. as a reporter, she goes into depth about the lives and feelings of these people. she doesn't simply record the surface of a problem, she genuinely wants to know and understand the people that have been impacted by its problem. she questions what it is to be a reporter, what kinds of people in our society, and how we should look at the world. our society is made up of many people. it is these people that form and shape our society to the way it is. we need to see these people.

可能会一度看得十分压抑,或十分痛心,亦或十分迷茫,但你知道世界就是如此,或者,你想知道世界到底如何;你会鼓起勇气继续往下看,书中的人们都撑过来了都云淡风轻的,你看本书又如何呢。
看完它,思想会升华,言行举止会因此变化,甚至可能会觉得看完书的自己是不同的一个人。
我已知道事情不是我看到的这一面,经常有另一面缘故,但这本书有让我知道:事情往往有另一面,而往往还有更进一面;不同层次不同地位,看到的是不一样的,会有自己的顾虑。
因此我学会不下判断,凡事不只看表面,去想它可能的另一面,然后又尽可能地去想到更深一层,但总之最后我也不会判断说好或不好。这没什么关系,因为本来天下就没有什么是绝对可评判的。重要的是我有去思考,重要的是我不轻易批判影响别人。
最后附上书中两段话:“宽容不是道德,而是认识。唯有深刻地认识事物,才能对人和世界的复杂性有了解和体谅,才有不轻易责难和赞美的思维习惯。”“不赞美,不责难,甚至也不惋惜,只求了解认识而已。”

Following this chinese reporter through her initial years of journalism and what resonated with her on some of the stories she covered: SARS, industrial pollutions, “left-behind kids” due to urbanization.

对柴静的”新闻调查”并不认识,书里写的是她刚入行成为记者后的成长。从尖锐,主观,个人 到真实,包容,珍惜师友。书也让我们从另一个观点看中国的一些问题 - 留守儿童,搬迁,过严家教等。17章的卢安克虽和书里一些不太熟悉的人物一样,让柴静通过这些人反映出社会的热点,确明显的对她引发了个人牢固深层的思维。。也是最引我深思的一章。要看清楚真相,就得放开“自我”。“人的强大,不是征服什么,而是承受了什么”。

看了这书,立志把喜欢的话笔记起来,好的文笔能那么贴切的带出场景,深动表达感受,带动人心。

不建议一起看完,是有点沉重。

It’s been a while since I read a Chinese non fiction. Not bad and learnt more about china reporter experiences. But the author was obviously pretty proud and I still didn’t connect sufficiently that it took me quite a while and skimming to finish.

一本让我开始考虑自己生活的国家中存在和发生各种事情的原因,包括我们民族和人民的思想观念,对于什么叫生活,国家为何存在,政府为何存在这些以前在我们的教育中从来没有出现但离我们如此接近的存在。或许对于自己国家我并不能做什么但欣慰有思想的人一直在为他们相信的事情而殚精竭虑。为我们的国家变得更好而努力着。就像书中说到的一句话“有些事是因为有人相信才会存在。“

之前看过大半的纸质版,因为回学校落了一半没看完,这次索性从头读到尾。想起再读是因为跟同事聊天时,同事说我们公司总裁的儿媳妇就是柴静。八卦引起了重读《看见》的想法,再读收获多了些,几年时光也算是攒了些成熟吧,看事物少了些年少气盛时对是非的偏执,多了份理解与体谅。

我非常喜欢柴静的写作方式,书中在描述某些场景时经常伴有真实的对话,使我在读这本书时仿佛置身其中。柴静的用词有着一种特殊的魅力,因为它们总是能引领着我,而我只需跟随她的脚步,就可以轻松地了解一件事。这本书给我最大的感触是我应该多记录我们平时的生活,因为平平无奇的它们,其实有着许多细微的不同之处。总体来说,这本书带给了我一场视觉和思想上的盛宴,我自然品得津津有味。

读完理解了为什么新闻工作者的笔就是武器,文字是比枪炮更有力量的。最喜欢这本书的就是柴静没有要用这个武器达到特殊的目的,她只是想激发人们的思考而已。

这样一个快速变化的时期,传统的家庭、集体断了,新的又没有建立起来,空虚只会导致消费和破坏,只有当人们能感到创建自己世界的满足,不会与别人去比较,不会因为钱,因为外界的压力感到抛弃,这才是真正的归属。——— 这是给我印象最深的一句话
