《跑步穿过中关村》是一篇关于“京漂”一族的小说。作者在繁华的京城景象之下,展现了“京漂儿”这一特殊群体的阴暗、动荡、困窘而又不无喜剧意味的底层生活。“跑步”,为生存奔跑,有目标,有速度,有力度;以小人物身上洋溢着的旺盛向上的生命力,反衬其苦苦挣扎不甘沉没的悲剧。随着敦煌“跑步”的踪迹,读者可以穿越教育界、知识界、公安及工商管理界,连同广大市民的社会网络,窥见更为复杂离奇的世相。It is a novel about floating population’s life in Beijing. Their dark, turbulent, embarrassed yet also comedic life is in sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the city life. They run for survival with full speed and strength. Optimistic as they may be, these ordinary people can’t escape from their tragic ending after strenuous struggles. From Dun Huang’s running track readers can get a glimpse of a more complicated world through circles of education, intellectuals, public security, and citizen’s social network.
