when Young Fu arrives with his mother in bustling 1920s Chungking, all he has seen of the world is the rural farming village where he has grown up. He knows nothing of city life. But the city, with its wonders and dangers, fascinates the 13-year-old boy, and he sets out to make the best of what it has to offer him.

First published in 1932, Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze was one of the earliest Newbery Medal winners. Although China has changed since that time, Young Fu’s experiences are universal: making friends, making mistakes, and making one’s way in the world.


動盪混亂的民國初年，各地軍閥割據，從小傅子的故事中看到那個時代中國人的想法和信念。社會雖然混沌，但心中保有一份希望，小傅子就是憑著如此堅強的意志努力不懈。
