My Chinese dream

As we all know, America has American dream. I believe all Chinese have Chinese dreams.

I have a dream that our country will be stronger and stronger. I have a dream that each Chinese will live a happy life and have the opportunity to achieve their dreams by working hard. I have a dream that the air will be fresher and the sky is bluer so that people can live comfortably and healthily. I have a dream that one day each Chinese, poor or rich, young or old, has equal right and opportunity to get education and health care.

To realize the Chinese dream, each Chinese needs to work hard. For students, we should love our country and keep it in mind. Besides, we must study hard in order to make our country stronger. More importantly, we should be a good person.

In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even.

在过去的二十年中，中国一直在跟美国的三任总统，但是今天到了耶鲁，我从来没有意识到，中国真的面临一个大学。虽然，透过这三位总统，我的理解是，耶鲁大学的毕业生的质量甚至是不。

Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream” stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world.

让我开始我的主题，让我给它一个名称，叫《我的故事以及背后的中国梦”。我想谈五年份。第一个是1968。那年我出世。但它也是一个混乱的一年中为世界。在法国，有巨大的街头的骚乱，在美国，太。然后美国的总统甘乃迪遇刺。然而，我真的没有造成所有这些!但是那一年我们更应该记住的是马丁先生路德金遇刺。虽然那一年他倒下了，他说“我有一个梦想”的站了起来，不仅在美国，而且在全世界。

But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal. Clearly, I was born at a very inconvenient time, not only for China, but even for the world, there were problems.

但可悲的是，不仅是我，但几乎所有的中国人，我们不知道这样一个梦想。很难描述每一个中国人拥有自己的梦想。中国和美国是到目前为止分开，没有比月球与地球相距远不如。但我不在乎那些。我关心的是我能吃上一顿饱饭。显然，我是出世在不方便的时间，不仅对中国，而且对世界，有问题。

China is the biggest family with 56 ethnic groups. Among them, the Han

Chinese is the largest and the most highly developed group. The Han Chinese can

be found in many parts of China. They mainly live in the north plain region, the

middle and the lower reaches of Yangze River and Pearl River Deltas. The other

55 groups are the minority ethnic groups. They are distributed in the

mountainous areas of southwest and northwest of China.

Being too far away from big cities, the minority ethnic groups are poor in

economy and there people are not well-educated. They have very few

understandings of science and technology. So they must develop their

economy.

To help the people of the minority ethnic groups live better, the

government should take some effective measures. For one thing, more and more

knowledgeable undergraduates should be encouraged to those poor areas to help

the people there to get rid of their poverty. For another, the advanced science

and technology must be introduced into the minority ethnic groups to improve

their living conditions. More importantly, people of the minority ethnic groups

should be given equal opportunities to study and work. Only so will China be

more prosperous in the future.

I am a Chinese. Ive always been making dreams from time to time. Those dreams made by each average Chinese like me are certainly Chinese dreams. Dreams vary from person to person, and also from time to time. But in a certain era, people share the similar dreams. Here I’d like to share my Chinese dreams with you.

When I was a child in 1970s, poverty kept hovering over my family, just as it did with other average families in the countryside. The misfit second-hand clothes, rain-leaking roof of old adobe house became part of my memory. However, the worse impression is that I was feeling hungry all the time. Sometimes hunger bit me so severely that I regarded dried sweet potato slices as delicious snack, the sharp crack of chewing which are still echoing in my dream. At that time, my dream was getting enough to fill my cooing empty belly.

In the early years of 1980s, as the reform and opening-up policy was implemented, the children dream came true. And then, another dream became clearer and clearer in my mind. I must try my best to escape out of my impoverished and backward hometown. I worked harder at my study than most of my classmates, and, after luckily succeeding in the national college entrance examination, my dream became reality again: after graduation, I became a citizen working in a city. As the first college graduate out of a remote village, my success set an example for my folks. They came to realize that schooling is a good way to change one’s fate. In the following years, there were less drop-outs and more college graduates in my village, of which I am proud even today.

Afterwards, I got accustomed to the life of citizens and I began to dream the same things as other peers: a comfortable home, my own car and a spacious apartment. Based on my toil, more than ten years passed, all of these dreams have been fulfilled. Of course, new dreams will occur to me again and again as time rolls on. Whatever, I believe most of my dreams will come true sooner or later only if my motherland keep advancing with current pace.

My Chinese dreams are also ones of other Chinese people. If every individual’s dreams come true, the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will sure to come true. "The Chinese dream, after all, is the dream of the people,” as the newly-elected Chairman Xi Jinping said.

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. Chinese months are reckoned by the lunar calendar, with each month beginning on the darkest day. New Year festivities traditionally start on the first day of the month and continue until the fifteenth, when the moon is brightest. In China, people may take weeks of holiday from work to prepare for and celebrate the New Year.

The Chinese sport shooter I like best is Wang Yifu who was in terms of Olympic medals one of the most successful sport shooters of all times. He specializes in the 50 m Pistol and 10 m Air Pistol events.

Wang won his first Olympic medal in the Los Angeles games at the age of 23. After this, the Air Pistol event was added to the program, and this is where he has achieved his greatest accomplishments. He won the 1992 gold medal only days after a new medal in the 50 m event. His three attempts to repeat the victory have provided impressive results and very tight duels:

In the 2004 competition, Wang scored 590 once more, but lost the Olympic record to Mikhail Nestruev who achieved 591. However, Wang Yifu chased quickly and eventually won by a margin of 0.2 points to get his second Olympic gold.

【范文】Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture, which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it will demonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.

【翻译】书法是中国文化的精粹，除了满足日常书写外，它已经上升成为一门特别的高等艺术。他兴旺于中华大地数千年而不衰。商业气息浓重的店面装饰一些具有古色古香、文化色彩的书法作品就会平添几分高雅。书法作品也常常装饰客厅，书房和卧室。作为一种艺术，书法的书写是很讲究的。汉字写在吸水性很强的宣纸上，然后再装裱起来挂上墙壁。书法作品多半是居室主人所喜爱的一首诗词或是一句格言;如果这是他自己所作，那就更能显示他的志趣和才华了。

Last winner holiday，I went to the Hongkong Disney Park。This is a fairy world，It has many famous characters。I travel in old American Town，It is very interesting。Ibought an ice cream to my sister，She like it。And then，I saw a beautiful princess，she is Snow White。I take a photoes to her。Last I saw GOOfy，he also has an famous character，because he is very interesting and lovely。

今天的心情可以用几个词来形容——惊险、刺激、快乐！

妈妈说，今年的国庆节我的舅爷爷全家人要来大英玩，还要游死海。我非常兴奋，因为可以和乐乐妹妹一起去死海漂流。10月2日的心情，就像这绵绵的秋雨下个不停。太阳啊！你什么时候才出来呢？我们一家人盼望你的出现。

昨天还是秋雨绵绵，今天却是一个艳阳天。蓝蓝的天空飘着朵朵白云，像画儿一样美丽。温柔的秋风吹拂着我们的面颊，让我们感到这真是阳光明媚的一天，连这心情也和这阳光一样。哇！一到死海，这里就人山人海，连车子都挤得水泄不通。爷爷奶奶们去买泳装、租泳具，爸爸连忙去排队买票。

首先程现在我眼前的场景吸引了我，死海大门口塑有十余头大象，由鼻子里喷出一道水雾。进入大门走过一条长长的走廊，上空由水喷成一道烟雾墙，清新，凉爽。我们一行9人分别进入男女更衣室，更好衣物后就来到室内漂流区。喇叭里响起了劲歌，舞台上黑人帅哥美女跳起了热舞，主持人发表了具有煽动调情的讲话，顿时，场内宽敞的冷水区聚集了很多的人，更有好多的人在旁边看热闹，几米的巨浪打来，将人们高高举起，推走，又是一阵惊叫的声音，场内沸腾了。我们没有到冷水区去，因为水里有点冷。冷水区有水上飞碟和海盗船，因为怕冷，我们都没有去玩。

大家就进入到室内的暖水区，那是一条宽两米多，深一米左右，长100多米的环形水渠。水流向一个方向，水温40多度，叔叔阿姨，爷爷奶奶，还有小孩子们，都顺着水流的方向，有的行走、有的躺着、有的潜入水下游动、还有许多孩子嬉戏，我最喜欢的是过山洞。我们经过一个水深的地方，我一不小心，没有站稳，一股水灌进了我的嘴里，哇！好咸啊！灌进眼睛里，真疼啊！龙环道是一个直径有一米多的到管道，从十几米高的地方一直盘旋而下，人从管道中顺着水流飞速下滑，而且每次只允许下滑一个人，爷爷从上面滑下，像一块大石头“扑通”一声掉进了水池，击起了巨大的浪花。我们问爷爷怎么样，爷爷乐呵呵地说：“太刺激了，只是喝了几口水，哈哈！哈哈！”

接着，我们去体验黑泥。进入一道小门，一位小伙子验票之后，才准许进入体验区。学着身边的人一样，小心仔细的将细细的软软的黑泥涂满全身，我只涂了一点点，因为我的皮肤涂了黑泥有点疼。爸爸忙着给我们拍照，我们都给爸爸涂黑泥，把他涂成“非洲人”。听说黑泥还有美容的效果呢！等到黑泥干了，我们才去洗干净。

不知不觉到了下午两点多，爷爷说：“我们该吃午饭了。”我这才依依不舍的走出死海。虽然今天有点累，但玩得真是过瘾！死海真是一个神奇而好玩的地方。

There are many races in this world, and there are all kinds of countries. For example, a few powerful Americans, Japan, Canada... These are all powerful countries with great strength.

Rise up! People who do not want to be slaves! Our flesh and blood, let us build our new the Great Wall! The Chinese people to the most dangerous time, everyone was forced to issue a final roar. Get up! Get up! We million people united as one man brave the enemys fire! Forward！ Forward！ In!

This is our national anthem, and it was written by our country when it was bullied by the country.

China has a history of 5000 years of civilization, although it has a history of 5000 years, but there are countless disgrace.

In my eyes, China is good and bad, the advantage is that weapons are still advanced. In the past, the western countries have been bullying us, for example, the present Old Summer Palace is a tragic example.

The main thing I have to say is my present China, and now China is also a great power. Other countries do not invade our country and do not harm us. The people of our country will not hurt them. Our country will also help those backward countries.

The Chinese peoples Congress is very selfish. These people often lie to deceive people, they are all for money, for their own interests, and some people are afraid of crime for money, but also to do it.

The quality of the Chinese people is not good, first to say the family, and some parents do not sometimes promise not to do. Again, school, from primary school students will be abusive, to secondary school, some people fight, smoking, drinking, gambling.

But China also has a good side, China has a very high building, the longest river, the longest river...

These are what I know about China.

在这个世界上有好多种族，有各种国家。就比如说几个实力强大的有美国、日本、加拿大……这些都是实力比较强大的大国，实力都很大。

＂起来！不愿做奴隶的人们！把我们的血肉，筑成我们新的长城！中华人民到了最危险的时候，每个人被迫发出最后的吼声。起来！起来！我们万众一心，冒着敌人的炮火前进！前进！前进！进！

这是我们的国歌，是我们国家在被被的国家欺负的时候写下的。

中国有五千年的文明历史，虽然有五千年的历史，但是也有无数的耻辱。

在我眼里中国有好处呀有坏处，好处就是武器还算是先进。在以往的历史中西方国家都在欺负我们，就比如说现在的圆明园就是一个悲惨的例子。

我主要有说的还是我的现在的中国，如今的中国也是一大强国。别的国家不来侵略我们的国家，不来伤害我们。我们国家的人也不会去伤害他们。我们国家也会去帮助那些落后的国家。

中国人大部方都是很自私的，这些人经常说谎来骗人，他们都是为了钱，为了自己的利益，还一些人为了钱不怕犯罪，也要去做。

中国人的素质要不好，先说家庭，又一些家长不有时答应的事不做到。再说学校，从小学开始小学生就会骂人，到中学了有的人就打架、吸烟、喝酒、赌钱了。

不过中国也有好的一面，中国有很高的建筑，有最长的河、最长的江……

这些就是我对中国的了解。

nowadays， more and more people like to travel in their holidays。 the other day i read a report about the ways people spend their holidays。 it is reported that in recent yiars several new holiday habits have been developed。 among them， the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps。

from the report we can see that in 1990，40 percent of people stayed at home for holidays。 but now the proportion has reduced to 9 percent。 more people go out for fun。 the proportion of camping and traveling abroad was increasing steadily， from 10 percent in 1990 to 38 percent in 2002， and 12 percent in 1990 to 26 percent in 2002 respectively。 people enjoy the fresh air， clean water and green hills when they go camping in the suburbs。 in 1990，38 percent people enjoyed going to the seaside while in 2002 only 27 percent prefer to go there。 what great changes!

why did those changes appear? i think there are several reasons。 first， it s because people can afford traveling。 second， people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life。 third， their attitudes to relaxation have changed。 less people want to save much money by leading a simple life。 in short， peoples living standard today has been rising greatly。

When someone asks me: What is your Chinese dreamI will answer it without thinking twice: to be a good doctor. The reason why I want to be a doctor is that I want to save people’s lives as possible as I can. When I was young, I had a terrible care accident. Thanks to the doctors, they brought me back to life. From then on, to be a good doctor has always been an inspiration to me. I will study hard to make sure that my dream will come true in the future.

Chinese dream is made up of every ordinary people’s dreams. We should do our best to make ourdream come true.

Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Inspired by President Xi’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.

I also talked about my own dream. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s lives but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.

To realize my dream, I must try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can so that I can get into a good medical college, where I

can prepare myself hard for the job of a doctor. Only in this way can I achieve my goal。

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

Chinese New Year is a Chinese traditional festival. We also call it the Spring Festival. It is on lunar January 1st.

On New Year’s Eve, all the people sit around the desk and have a big family dinner. There are some vegetables, some fish, some meat, some fruits and some drink like juice, Coke, Pepsi and some nice wine. Overall, this is a good and delicious dinner. After dinner, we always watch TV New Year progammes. We have a wonderful evening on New Year’s Eve.On the first day of the Spring Festival, most of people get up early and say “happy new year” to each other. For breakfast, people often eat dumplings and baozi. After breakfast, people often make many delicious foods, and children often play cards, computer games and fireworks. On the second and third day, we visit friends and relatives.

Everyone is busy on Chinese New Year, and everyone is happy, too.

The hair style of high school students has been a controversial issue for many years. The prescribed plain short hair may look tidy, but the insistence on the hair length below the ear lobe in the case of girl students, which is fixed at one centimeter or at most two, is quite unnecessary. Until recently, the Mayor of Tainan had tried to persuade the Ministry of Education to give the high schoolers the carte blanche to determine their own hair styles. It is difficult for us to say if the idea is right or wrong. So far as I am concerned, problems of the young are not confined to such a small matter as hair style; what matters is the reinforcement of the students＇ moral consciousness, the way they should behave, and the like. The length of their hair or whether they have the right to give it a permanent wave is relatively unimportant. Cleanness and neatness is what really matters. There is hardly anything that stays unchanged all the time. Why doesn＇t the concerned authority reconsider this hair business? Maybe the bickerings that sour the relations between the military instructors and their students will therefore be gone. By the way, to improve one＇s appearance is nothing wrong, is it? We all expect to see a new look of the young. Maybe a change in the concerned authority＇s policy toward the high schoolers＇ hair style will bring this about.
