Acknowledgements
I’d like to express my gratitude to several groups and individuals who made this book and story possible.
I’d like to thank the leadership of China Daily, especially the editorial board, and other colleagues for their support from meeting rooms to working side-by-side on various front lines. Many of the accounts in this book are based on coverage we created, and times we spent, together in such arduous places as the Wenchuan quake zone.
I’m especially grateful to everyone who has supported our work on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. While so many friends have supported us, I must give a special thanks to Cheng Wei, our cherished “good-luck charm”, and Tseringben, who has worked tirelessly on the ground to help us transform thousands of children’s lives. Tseringben and I met and teamed up soon after his father died. His dad’s last words were: “Do good unto others.” His father would be more than proud today.
We’ve since become family. Literally. He is gandie (like a godfather) to my children and my brother in arms on the front line on the “planet’s third pole”.
I’d also hope to commemorate our beloved friend Mike Peters, who donated what was left over after his final expenses to our efforts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Mike’s light and generosity continue to shine.
I’d also like to thank my dear friend Liu Jun, who translated this book into Chinese, not only for contributing her top-notch professional talents but also for being a special friend and confidant, even across an ocean and a decade.
Thanks also to the book’s coeditor and longtime pal, “shirtless” Mike Fuksman.
And I’d especially like to express my gratitude to Carol, my wife, for her sacrifices directly and indirectly related to the book.
That is, for putting up with a husband often gallivanting around disaster zones, top-level government events and isolated nomadic communities in grasslands, tundra and deserts. For always agreeing to share our shared personal savings to support poverty alleviation in Qumarleb. And for not only coediting manuscripts but also for dealing with me during the year and a half of writing this book while otherwise working overtime, including meeting the deadline during quarantine amid COVID-19. Thank you for sharing sacrifices with me to live and share these stories, to sometimes cry alongside me in darker moments, and to find and create light alongside me and with others.
And I’d like to thank the Chinese people for their lessons in friendship, resilience and hope over the years. I look forward to learning more together in the years to come.

《中国日报》高级记者、“美国小哥”Erik Nilsson(中文名:聂子瑞),来华十余年间,作为一名记者和志愿者,曾经去过中国许多贫困地区,见证了这些地区日新月异的变化。
《太阳升起——“美国小哥”见证中国扶贫奇迹》,浓缩作者多年来亲身探索中国的扶贫方案、灾后救援,以及整体发展的报道,他亲历的那些鲜活生动的故事,彰显出在全球背景下中国解决贫困问题的重要性和面临的特殊挑战。
本书从汶川地震讲起,读者可以看到,贫困和地理环境所导致的悲剧终将在救援和重建中被克服,在这片无数生命逝去的地方,人们也将重拾希望;然后作者将去往“地球第三极”青藏高原,在那里,中国克服了*恶劣的自然条件等不利因素,给高原带来了短短几年前还不可想象的富裕;随后作者回顾了过去十多年里采访过的全国各地的扶贫项目,包括贵州乡村的虚拟现实娱乐公园、内蒙古牧民开办的鸸鹋农场等;*后,作者花了5个星期采访长江经济带沿岸数千公里的11座城市,以极限沉浸的形式来分析改革开放如何驱动了中国的扶贫奇迹。书中附有相关报道的汉英双语短视频,可让读者获得更加直观的感受。
本书分中、英两个文版,国际化的表达方式,将更加有助于国际社会了解中国和中国人民;而对于那些对书中的一些话题已经有所了解的中国读者,Nilsson的作品也提供了一个崭新的视角。
CLOSER TO HEAVEN: A Global Nomad’s Journey Through China’s Poverty Alleviation distills China Daily journalist Erik Nilsson’s firsthand explorations of the country’s poverty solutions, disaster relief and overall development over more than a decade.
It’s not your typical China book.
The American discovers unexpected dimensions of these miracles while riding ostriches, visiting leprosy villages and spending birthdays at a mass grave. Along the way, he also rides, buys, milks and is kicked by yaks, whose dung he collects while camping with nomads on the planet’s “third pole”.
He begins in Sichuan after the 2008 Wenchuan quake left nearly 90,000 dead or missing. Across 15 trips through the disaster zone, he discovers a place where poverty and geology conspired to conjure tragedy that was overcome through rescue and recovery — where life was lost and hope was found.
Nilsson then continues on to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where China has overcome extraordinary altitudes and isolation to bring prosperity that was unthinkable only several years ago. He founds a volunteer initiative to bring light to schools on the plateau by providing solar panels, followed by computers, libraries, medicine, coal, clothes, equipment and even yaks. He goes on to provide surgeries, prosthetics and wheelchairs for children with disabilities and university scholarships for nomads living in extreme poverty.
He next investigates diverse poverty-alleviation projects during his travels through every province on the Chinese mainland, from rural virtual-reality amusement parks in Guizhou to emus raised by ethnic Mongolian nomads.
Finally, he examines the reform and opening-up that has propelled the development necessary to drive China’s poverty-alleviation miracle — through extreme immersion. He joins the “bangbang army”, rides hogs with an elderly motorcycle club and steers a pill-sized gut-drone camera with a joystick while traveling thousands of kilometers to 11 cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt over five weeks.
Nilsson’s personal chronicle arrives as China prepares to celebrate the first of its centenary goals — to eradicate extreme poverty to ultimately build a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
自2006 年以来,中国日报社记者Erik Nilsson(中文名:聂子瑞)走遍了中国大陆的每一个省份,报道扶贫、救灾和政府政策。
2016 年,这位当时33 岁的美国人成为“中国政府友谊奖”历年轻的外国获奖者。这是中国政府为表彰外国专家“在中国的社会和经济发展中作出突出贡献”而设立的奖项。他还获得了从省级到国际级的新闻奖。
自2017 年3 月以来,这位家住北京的记者拍摄的视频已在各种新媒体平台上得到数亿次的点击观看。中国网民称他为“美国小哥”。
他已联合写作、编撰和编辑了16 本关于中国的中英文书籍。
2011 年,Nilsson 发起了一个志愿者行动,为青海玉树藏族自治州牧民社区有待发展的学校送去太阳能电池板、衣物、药品、食物和学习用具。他的团队还为有残障的孩子提供手术、义肢和轮椅,并为低收入牧民家庭的子女提供大学奖学金。
China Daily journalist Erik Nilsson has traveled through every provincial-level jurisdiction on the Chinese mainland, covering poverty alleviation, disaster relief and government policy since 2006.
The then 33-year-old American became the youngest foreigner ever to win the China Friendship Award, the top honor the central government offers to experts from overseas for their “contributions to China’s social and economic development”, in 2016. He has also won journalism awards from the provincial to international levels.
The Beijing-based journalist’s videos have been viewed hundreds of millions of times across new media platforms since March 2017. The internet celebrity is known by Chinese netizens as “ 美国小哥 ”, or “American Brother”.
He has co-authored, co-compiled and edited 16 books on China in English and Chinese.
In 2011, Nilsson founded a volunteer initiative to bring solar panels, clothes, medicine, food and study materials to underdeveloped schools in Yushu’s ethnic Tibetan nomadic communities. His group also provides surgeries, prosthetics and wheelchairs for children with disabilities and university scholarships for nomads from lowincome families.
