《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。

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。”
“其实善良的人才能做刚性研究”
“我接住大馍一掰，热气一扑，长提一口气，一口下去，手都颤了，那一下，像是水里一抬头，换气一霎那看见自己，蹲在天地中间半垛窄土墙上，为爬墙脱了鞋，光脚上都是土。傍晚风暴快来满天黑，只有长云的底部痛痛快快一抹鲜红。” （77页）
“知道和感觉到，是两件事情。”（83页）

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。

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.

What is truth? Chai Jing's memoir "Seeing" (看见 ) recounts ten major stories that Jing covers through her career as a news journalist set in the structure of her personal life and growth.
Huge shoutout to the translators Yan Yan and Jack Hargreaves. The prose is beautifully written and highly quotable, rich with lessons about anger, justice, relationships, suffering, education, and trust.
Jing teaches us that true "seeing" is letting go - the bad guys might not be the bad guys, the obvious angle might not be the accurate one, and the issue is probably way more complex than it seems. Ultimately, this book is about being human, having stories to tell, and doing those stories justice. I was moved deeply by each section in different ways. Lowe's chapter in particular gave me a lot to chew on about education and belonging.
Jing's personality resonates with me; she's firey, sticks to her convictions, and isn't satisfied with a job half-done. Her commitment to truth is evident not only in her journalism, but also in the way she writes this memoir. In every chapter, she fleshes out her blind spots, mistakes, and blunders. She isn't afraid to call herself the bad guy or admit "I was wrong". She even quotes her haters when they call her out. And this gives her credibility. She shows us (and reminds herself) that she's not a journalist who casts moral judgment on an issue - she's a human seeking to understand and portray others' stories truthfully. And we believe her because she is one of us.
The theme of water (that always flows, that gives life, that finds a way) runs throughout her reflections; Jing (fire) learns from the persistence of truth (water).
I greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from this candid memoir! Shoutout to the friend who recommended this to me.
"People are the same. They have the same desire for happiness, the same need for wholeness...Each person has a unique situation, but our destinies are connected, because everyone is embedded in the same world and shaped by its rules." - Chai Jing

去年春天，朋友送我一本中國央視記者柴靜的【看見】。在那之前，只知道她是那個「中國霧霾紀錄片的柴靜」。柴靜在書中整理出幾個印象深刻的調查報導：一方面以記者銳利的眼光，看北京SARS、山西煤礦到中國土地徵收的結構性問題；另一方面則以生而為人、易感而溫柔的視角，探討社會公義和人與人間的情感。還記得看書之時，自己的人生正深陷於被現實所傷的惶惑不安裡。看著柴靜的真誠、社會的險惡、人性的脆弱，彷彿突然間被療癒了、又像是被震醒了。慢慢撿起一路上被打落的，對生命的熱情，再次上路。
今年冬天，基於對記者寫書的好奇心，開始讀台灣壹週刊記者房慧真的【像我這樣的一個記者】。起初，尚未從柴靜的宏觀視角跳脫出來，看房慧真的人物採訪總有格局過小的壓抑感；逐步調整心態為閱讀人物專訪後，才真正走入書裡的世界。「細節，存在於沒有開始、也沒有結束的環狀時間內，所以無盡。」以工筆刻劃人物、以潑墨凸顯特質，每個人物在房慧真的描寫下，躍然紙上。在波士頓念書久了，彷彿只有宏觀經濟與政治重要，其他都是枝微末節。再次回頭凝視一個個在不同年紀與崗位的大小人物，才發現如果不了解人和其經歷與動機，又怎能理解這複雜多變的世界？
謝謝兩本書帶給不同心境的我，不同的學習。

A story that needs to be retold again and again. This book and Chai Jing teaches us that in the most adverse of situations, humans always find a way through. And oppression never wins in the end. The resistance she shows again and again against the lies of the Party are incredible. A must read for any person living on this Earth. Could be applicable against the government, against bullies, against adversity, against mental issues. All of it.
That's how good this book and this person is.

印象很深的是她去采访所谓生活在社会边缘的人群，有时恐惧只是来自于不了解

十多年前出版的時候就買了實體書，那是個全民言論相對自由的時代。二十出頭的年紀，熱衷於追一些「反教條」的人和事。前幾年飄洋過海把這本書帶了出來。看完第二遍，已經不再懷念那個時代，反爾希望還能抓住些什麼理想主義的東西。

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.

补标。读《国史大纲》途中不知道为什么突然想起这本书；我第一遍读这本书已经是十多年前了，后来因为中学语文老师们的推荐，又重新读过一遍（或多遍），已记不清了，但看见其他人书评里的摘录，又意识到我从来没有忘记过，没有忘记那些我曾经亲手抄录过的、改变了少年时期的我的世界观的文字。
审查制度掣肘，且柴静当时仍在中国，并没有从央视离职，使得这本书有许多点到为止的内容。但它仍旧完成了它的任务，此书使我去主动探寻，以“看见”没能看见的内容、不允许被言说的历史——以及最重要的，“看见”“人”。
本以为只是豆瓣不允许评分，搜索了一下，原来已在今年五月时全平台下架了，书本身是4分出头，但在这个时代……或者说每一个时代，都值得5分。

刚出版的时候买了好几本送朋友，很多年后趁着被下架的热度又拿出来约略翻了一下。向柴静致敬，感谢她不畏强权，依然在讲她想讲的话。

Chai Jing's memoir is an insightful look into Chinese society, journalism, and attitudes in the face of rapidly changing times within a powerhouse nation that is hopeful yet gripped by deep inequality. Chai masterfully presents stories, provides context, and humanises not only her interviewees but a whole country - something for which she is constantly admonished by her colleagues and superiors at China's CCTV broadcast station.
Chai explains the distasteful undertones ensconced by the word "humanist" following the Cultural Revolution, which saw the association of bourgeois values to the word and the attitude as a whole. However, she is intent on following through with her journalistic vision and making every word meaningful, especially at the microcosmic level when the conversation is only between her and the person she is speaking with. When warned to focus strictly on the facts in her reporting, Chai reflects, only to provide an even more holistic exploration of whatever event she is covering.
Albeit difficult and often disappointing, her path into, through, and out of journalism at CCTV is a testament to the importance of perseverance in the pursuit of truth. Chai covers pandemics, pollution, media-exaggerated lies, corruption, domestic violence, psychological issues, childhood education, crime, and more in this calm, structured, and enlightening volume. One can only respect her and the values for which she stands even more when one learns that she ended up quitting CCTV to fund and broadcast her own documentary, "Under the Dome", about severely declining air quality levels in China. This documentary proved to be a bombshell within Chinese society, opening discourse on widespread pollution in China and its effects on humans.
All in all, Chai is a shrewd, powerful, empathetic, cunning, yet (when she needs to be) confrontational investigative journalist telling her story - and those of her compatriots - to a country and a world who do not imagine her to belong in her role. When has anybody believed Chinese journalism to be something considered as anything but an oxymoron, particularly when China's civic and social weaknesses are so frequently parroted in the West? Chai gives immense nuance to the context she lives and works in, and her memoir is proof of how essential it is to listen, look, and ask endlessly.
Two exceptionally revealing and emotive excerpts can testify to this:
"At the end of the year, the department asked everyone to contribute a quote to the year-end newsletter reflecting what they had learned over the year. One quote came to my mind. In the past, I would have worried that people would think it was too emotional, but this time I just wrote it down: 'What others suffer, I too shall suffer.'" (p. 96)
"In 2006, I returned to Shanxi to cover pollution issues... The sky was a burnt wok covering the earth... A girl with a round face and bright eyes who was not afraid of strangers came over with a small stoll and sat next to me with a sweet smile.
I asked her, 'Have you ever seen a star?'
She said, 'No.'
'Have you ever seen white clouds?'
'No.'
'Blue sky?'
She pondered for a moment. 'I've seen a bit of blue sky.'
'What does the air smell like?'
'Stinky.' She made a fanning motion in front of her nose.
This six-year-old, whose name was Wang Huiqin, was talking about the smell of tar... In this dark world, Wang Huiqin's red dress was the only sign of color." (p. 101)

Two values of this book: (1) the facts that Chai Jing reveals about Chinese society, and (2) the methodology how she, her teacher, and peers investigate social problems.
1) Revelation of the facts:
- It is a nice reminder after a while which alerts me about the game that the Chinese society is playing, extreme utilitarianism, which leads to principles like not treating humans as humans but tools to achieve selfish goals; no real implementation of law, but just power dynamics; whenever there is a prisoner's dilemma, always defect.
Sadly,
- Chai Jing's Under the Dome was banned, and herself also banned
- Hao Jingsong 郝劲松 was imprisoned
- What happened at the beginning of the SARS infectious disease in 2006 also recurred during Covid.
2) Methodology: "Always diving deeper"
The example in the beginning of the book is mind-blowing, where Chai Jing introduces her experience to host a TV program to compare the caesarean birth and the natural vaginal birth.
- Originally what Chai Jing thought: Talk in the manner of popular science, inviting expert doctors, patients, etc; introducing the pros and cons of each approach; and end with the conclusion that natural vaginal birth is much better.
- What her teacher taught her: No this is far from enough. As a journalist, we should ask "deeper" questions:
-- who has the right to decide whether to take the caesarean birth and the natural vaginal birth?
-- how is this decision made? Are there systematic problems of the medical system?
-- even if people understand the knowledge that natural virginal birth is much better, what explains the popularity of the caesarean birth? What causes a wrong idea to spread in our society? Why do people believe in this?
If applying this to the choice of research topics, I also try to ask myself what is the social context behind a research topic, why do I do it, what can it bring to the society, what is the ecosystem of researchers doing this topic, how does research into this help other scientific domains.

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.

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。
最近知乎实名制了，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，是没有办法不朝后看看，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，还是当做没看见？

The inside cover promises, "in eleven propulsive and deeply felt chapters, Chai recounts her investigation into SARS quarantine wards, a childhood suicide epidemic, the human cost of industrial pollution, and organized crime, while looking back at her growth as a journalist." This book is a window into what reporting the news is like in China and I was curious about that angle as I don't know what life is like in that part of the world. While I don't doubt that she is loved and cherished, this was work for me to read through due to what may have been lost in translation and as it felt much more cerebral and investigative than deeply felt.

A revealing look at Jing's life as a journalist. I am interested in the topics she has researched and reported on first-hand. It was also interesting to see how her life unfolded and how she was able to get her jobs and how she was perceived socially.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. #sponsored

这个世界上能看见的事情不一定是能说出来的，柴静把她看到的一些事情，被称为“边缘人”的事情说出来，值得一读，值得深思。
July 15, 2024
柴静在书中讲述了自己做记者期间经历的种种，这本书在十年前一度爆火。首先，她做记者涉及到的社会主题真的好广，主要是感觉每一个节目都需要做大量功课才能了解背景知识，那她工作中接触的信息量好大。仅是书中记录了的社会议题就五花八门，包括：家暴，同性恋，虐待动物，土地改革/拆迁，妓女，留守儿童，外籍山区教师，地震，贪污腐败，山西煤矿/环境污染，奥运会，真的很丰富，让我对（十年前的）中国民情、法律加深了了解。
柴静也花了很多笔墨描述她在工作中对怎么做一名好记者、怎么拍好一期电视节目逐步加深的认识，写到了职业初期的犯错与迷惘，尤其是怎么平衡记者在采访中表露出的真性情和中立冷静。我也认识到了做一名一线记者的危险和条件恶劣，尤其是采访/质问一些社会不良分子和记录地震。柴静文笔非常好，不过我读了很久，因为她的风格对我来说有点难读进去，因为经常在很多故事、人物之间跳，东一笔西一笔，全书充斥着很多碎片时的心得和大道理。
～摘抄～
白岩松有天安慰我：“人们声称的最美好的岁月其实都是最痛苦的，只是事后回忆起来的时候才那么幸福。”
-----
知道和感觉到，是两回事。
当年看照片时我写过：她的目光一下一下打在我的身上，让我感到疼痛的亲切。
-----
家庭是最小的社会单元，门吱呀一声关上后，在这里人们如何相待，多少决定了一个社会的基本面目。
-----
在对家庭暴力的预防或惩戒更为成熟的国家，经验显示，百分之九十以上的家暴只要第一次发生时干预得当，之后都不再发生。警方可以对施暴者强制逮捕，紧急情况下法官可以依据单方申请发出紧急性保护令，禁止施暴者实施暴力或威胁实施暴力，禁止他们联络、跟踪、骚扰对方，不得接近对方或指定家族成员的住所、工作地点以及一切常去的地方，这些政策向施暴者传达的信号是：你的行为是社会不能容忍的。
但直到我们采访时，在中国，一个男人仍然可以打一个女人，用刀砍她的手，用酒瓶子扎她的眼睛，用枪抵住她的后背，强暴她的姐妹，殴打她的孩子。他甚至在众人面前这样做，不会受到惩罚——只因为他是她的丈夫。
-----
一个得不到爱、得不到教育的人，对这个社会不可能有责任感。
-----
“今天你可以失去获得它的权利，你不抗争，明天你同样会失去更多的权利，人身权，财产权，包括土地、房屋。中国现在这种状况不是偶然造成的，而是长期温水煮青蛙的一个结果，大家会觉得农民的土地被侵占了与我何干，火车不开发票、偷漏税与我何干，别人的房屋被强行拆迁与我何干，有一天，这些事情都会落在你的身上。”
[...]
“你靠什么赢得尊重？”我问。
“靠我为自己权利所作的斗争。”郝劲松说，“权利是用来伸张的，否则权利就只是一张纸。”
-----
她终究原谅了我：“不管柴静多折磨人，但是除非你受不了，反正她是不走的。坚持也罢妥协也罢，好好坏坏她是不会走的。”
我看她这段，想起当年，我、竹青、宇君、小熊、何盈、李总管、小米、韩大叔……大家吵来吵去，深更半夜临时改方案，我也知道要多耗无数工夫，但没人埋怨。每天傍晚直播回来，一推十八楼那个小屋的门，“轰”一下的热气，七八个人都转过脸冲我笑，桌上给我留着饭，姚华把塑料袋里猩红的剁辣椒和萝卜干拎过来，大眼睛的小温温给我倒杯热水。
[...]
十几平米的小屋，我们都挤在一起，彼此一举一动不用眼睛看，用心就能知道。
-----
“电视节目习惯把一个人塑造为好人，另一个是坏人，实际上这个世界上没有好人和坏人，只有做了好事的人，和做了坏事的人。”
小时候看电影，人物出场，小朋友们坐在一地瓜子皮里，最爱问的是：“好人坏人？”冲锋号一吹响，立刻热泪盈眶，对坏人咬牙切齿。
我以为自己不喜欢这模式，实际上除了这个模式，我也不太会别的。
-----
“这个社会对媒体的容忍有多大，这个社会进步就有多大，一个文明、民主、法治的社会是需要传媒监督的。”
-----
“不要因为一样东西死去就神话它。”
-----
泪水和愤怒是人之常情，但我慢慢觉得公众对记者这个职业的要求是揭示这个世界，不是挥舞拳头站在什么东西的对面。
-----
一个世界如果只按强弱黑白两分，它很有可能只是一个立方体，你把它推倒，另一面朝上，原状存在。
-----
我原以为，这是一个黑白分明的世界，分为被欺凌的弱者和使用暴力的劫掠者。对他提供的信息进行印证后，我才发现，拍卖中被他劫掠的人有些确实不是单纯的受害人，他们最初都是要从中牟利的，而且牟的都不是正常的利益，只不过，在丛林法则下，大鱼吃小鱼，最后被吃掉了。
-----
“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，真相常流失于涕泪交加中。”
-----
预设主题进行创作，是一种可怕的习惯。
-----
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。
有这样一个心理的定位，采访的姿态上也会有些变化。
-----
我渐渐知道，有时偏见的造成是利益和庇护，也有无知和蒙昧。媒体重要的是呈现出判断事物应有的思维方法，而不是让一个人成为公敌。
-----
“现在华南虎事件已经不是简单的一个照片的真假问题，而是关系到社会诚信、社会道德底线的问题，我们说一个不关注真相的民族，是一个没有前途的民族，一个不追求真相的社会，必然是一个堕落的社会。”
-----
“语言很多时候是假的。”他说，“一起经历过的事情才是真的。”

上次读似乎已经是初中时候了。
可能是因为隔得太久，才在高一高二最喜欢自我标榜为思想流动的时候没能想起她来，以至于直到大学里再读，才发现自己的很多思考很多性格实在都可以在这里找到共鸣和原则一般的启发。这些影响实在太深入人心，以至于我都忘了曾经受她影响。
于是决定要再一遍一遍读，不好说多。
“这本书中，我没有刻意选择标志性事件，也没有描绘历史的雄心，在大量的新闻报道里，我只选择了留给我强烈生命印象的人，因为工作原因，我恰好与这些人相遇。他们是流淌的，从我心腹深处的石坝上漫溢出来，坚硬的成见和模式被一遍遍冲刷，摇摇欲坠，土崩瓦解。这种摇晃是危险的，但思想的本质就是不安。”
“他私底下爱教育我：‘你生活得太塑料了，不真实。’
我白他：‘怎么了？’
‘过分得体。’”
“因为我们的性文化里，把生育当作性的目的，把无知当纯洁，把愚昧当德行，把偏见当原则。”
“一九四六年，胡适在北大的演讲中说：‘你们要争独立，不要争自由。’
我初看不明白。
他解释：‘你们说要争自由，自由是针对外面束缚而言的，独立是你们自己的事，给你自由而不独立，仍是奴隶。独立要不盲从，不受欺骗，不依赖门户，不依赖别人，这就是独立的精神。’”
“想起在‘百家讲坛’采访易中天，他反客为主，问我，‘新闻调查’的口号是探寻事实真相，你说说，什么是真相？
我想了想，说：‘真相是无底洞的那个底。’
有观众看了这个节目，在我博客里留言：‘那你说说，什么是探寻？’
底下有一位观众替我写了个答案：‘保持对不同论述的警惕，才能保持自己的独立性。探寻就是要不断相信、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。或者说，煽动各种偏见的互殴，从而取得平衡，这是我所理解的探寻。’”
“在采访笔记本前页，我抄了一段话，歌德让他的弟子去参加一个贵族的聚会。年轻的弟子说‘我不愿意去，我不喜欢他们’，歌德批评他：‘你要成为一个写作者，就要跟各种各样的人保持接触，这样才可以去研究和了解他们的一切特点，而且不要向他们寻求同情和共鸣，这样才可以和任何人打交道……你必须投入广大的世界里，不管你是喜欢还是不喜欢它。’”
“有天翻书，看到斯宾诺莎在《伦理学》里说：‘嘲笑、轻蔑、愤怒、报复……这些情绪，都与恨有关或者含有因恨而起的成分，不能成为善。’
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失，和心灵的软弱无力。’
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。’”
“别瞧不上服务这两个字，描述复杂比评论简单难多了。”
“重压常致人屈从或愤懑，但《大公报》主编张季鸾说大时代中的中国记者，要秉持公心与诚意，‘随声附和是谓盲从；一知半解是谓盲信；感情冲动，不事详求，是谓盲动；评诋激烈，昧于事实，是谓盲争’。
他说，‘不愿陷于盲。’”
“胡适说过做事情要‘聪明人下笨功夫’，我原以为下笨功夫是一种精神，但体会了才知，笨功夫是一种方法，也许是唯一的方法。”
“二十出头，在湖南卫视时，我采访黄永玉，问他的‘人生哲学’是什么？
他说两个字：‘寻常。’
我心想，这也叫哲学吗？
‘天上那么多高干子弟，七仙女为什么要下凡嫁董永？’他说，‘因为她什么都有，只缺寻常。’”
“什么是幸福？这就是幸福，进步就是幸福。我的起点太低，所以用不着发愁别的，接下来几十年要做的，只是让自己从蒙昧中一点点解缚出来，这是一个穷尽一生也完成不了的工作，想到这点就踏实了。”
“‘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。你非常清楚地知道你的靶子在哪儿，退到一环，甚至脱靶都没有关系。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。”

I first read this book back in university, and it hit me with the same force as reading Backstage by the Southern Weekly publication series. That was the final golden age of journalism in China, and Chai Jing was the reason I chose to major in journalism.
After graduating, I worked in media-related roles, though never as a frontline reporter—because I knew I couldn’t reach the same level of integrity and excellence she did. She was once my role model, and this year, to my surprise and joy, I saw her official YouTube channel updating again. I could finally hear real stories, about real people.
Her writing and storytelling are restrained, yet powerfully record history—despite the countless waves of censorship and erasure.
Not long after watching her recent interview with Mr. Gao Binghan, 91 years old, the book Seeing was suddenly erased—completely taken down. If we lose storytellers who’ve lived through history and can still tell it truthfully, it becomes nearly impossible to feel the individual voices beneath the massive weight of history. That’s the true tragedy.
Seeing: A Memoir of Truth and Courage from China's Most Influential Television Journalist — I recommend it to readers everywhere, inside and outside China.
大学的时候第一次读到，和读南方系的《后台》一样震撼，那还是媒体最后的黄金时代，而柴曾就是我为何选了新闻专业的源起。后来毕业后一直从事媒体相关的工作，但未做过记者，因为我知道我无法像她一样做到了能做到的极致。我曾经的榜样，最终又拾起了自己的力量，终于在今年又看到她youtube的官方号更新，我终于能看到一些真实的人的故事。用克制的笔法去叙述和记录历史，哪怕依旧面对无数次浪潮冲刷。我向她致敬。看完了她最近的对91岁高秉涵先生采访的不久，没想到就看不见了《看见》——如果没有这样亲历历史的讲述者，真的很难且深感受到那么大历史车轮下小小的个体的人发出的声音。真的可惜。Seeing: A Memoir of Truth and Courage from China's Most Influential Television Journalist，推荐给所有海内外的读者们。
After graduating, I worked in media-related roles, though never as a frontline reporter—because I knew I couldn’t reach the same level of integrity and excellence she did. She was once my role model, and this year, to my surprise and joy, I saw her official YouTube channel updating again. I could finally hear real stories, about real people.
Her writing and storytelling are restrained, yet powerfully record history—despite the countless waves of censorship and erasure.
Not long after watching her recent interview with Mr. Gao Binghan, 91 years old, the book Seeing was suddenly erased—completely taken down. If we lose storytellers who’ve lived through history and can still tell it truthfully, it becomes nearly impossible to feel the individual voices beneath the massive weight of history. That’s the true tragedy.

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.

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.

4.5 stars
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.

谢谢作者，让我看见未曾看见的。
实话实说，一开始对这本书产生兴趣纯粹是因为作者本身的争议性。我本身平时不常关注新闻，对作者的了解也仅局限于那一部纪录片带来的风波。怀着这样一半好奇一半看热闹的心态翻开了这本书，却是翻开了众生百态。
作者是真的敢写，什么题材，什么评论，只要是她相信的，她就会不管不顾地去采访，去发表。直抒胸臆的青春意气，是我向往的。文人最是犀利。明明坐在那里看着最是安安静静、文文气气的一个人，但眼底的锐意骗不了人，一旦执笔就是不管不顾地将心中的一切写了出来。最喜欢文人的一些骄傲与执拗。
作者也是真的坦诚。人无完人，每个人身上都有许许多多的毛病，无论在生命的哪一个阶段，都会做出很多并不完美的举动。但作者一直一直在自省，而且她愿意将自己犯的错误、自己对此的思考、从中获得的成长分享出来。在这个大家都包装自己的时代，真的非常难得。或许我不该只提这个时代，毕竟自古以来皆如是。赤子之心一直罕见。当然了，不能仅凭这么一本书就这么下断定，毕竟这本书也可以是伪装。但我愿意选择相信，因为一些真挚的感情与思考不是会被轻易伪装出来的，而我愿意去相信我看到的这些片段是真实的。
毕竟归根结底，一切都是虚无。但正因为虚无，所以我想要选择去相信一些事情，去努力争取一些东西，这样才不算白来一遭。

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。

从小我就本能地抗拒新闻联播、中央电视台。那种一本正经、空洞无物的语言让我觉得政治不过是一场形式主义的表演。政治课如此，新闻联播亦然。所以我一直对央视出来的记者和主持人充满偏见：他们是“宣传机器”的一部分，高高在上，假装关注民生，实则只在传达“正确的声音”。
直到被推荐看了柴静的YouTube，进而读了柴静的《看见》。
那是一次彻底的颠覆。我第一次在央视体系内，看见一个有血有肉、有能力、还有良知与共情能力的记者。她看得见个体的苦难，也敢于去靠近，去发问，去承担那些沉重的故事。她的记录，不是装模作样地“关注民生”，而是带着真实的疼痛和诚实的思考。
读完这本书，再去看她早年的报道和Youtube上的访谈，我有种说不出的感慨——原来即使在体制深处，也有人在试图用尽全力，去说一句真话。很幸运，在这个时代，华语世界里还能读到柴静。

这本书在我大概10几岁的时候买来的，可是当年太小了，看不懂书中描述的人间冷暖。十年后俨然成为禁书，拾起重看，对我的震撼太大了。有很多地方的哲理是嚼了很久才会懂的。
中国现在已经不能容纳这种相对有批判性思想的书了，真的是一个时代的终结。
“‘嘲笑、轻蔑、愤怒、报复……这些情绪，都与恨有关或者含有因恨而起的成分，不能成为善。’”
-
“‘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。’”
-
“‘了解他人越多，个人的悲酸欢慨也就越不足道，在书中你看到千万年来的世界何以如此，降临在你身上的事不过是必然中的一部分，… “只是生活本身矛盾密布。’”
