My Dream


I love dreaming and especially daydreaming. In university, I didn't like to study,
and  my classmates could only see me during the first lesson and the exam time. I 
used to sit leisurely in my bed during daytime, looked  far from  the window  and 
looked  at the  moving  trees  outside the   dormitory. I could  easily spend one 
afternoon by looking at the students moving back and forth there.

I  woke up after four years there and I was still not awake. So I 'slept'two more 
years. Then  I continued with my sleep in the 'social university!' Time flies and 
I ‘slept?again for over a decade. I didn’t dream any dream that could wake me 
up or give me surprises.

The  year 2006 was a memorable year. This year I had two dreams. These two dreams 
made me excited and anxious. I finally woke up after such a long time.

The first dream is to create a cultural product. The initial thought is to create 
an 'open' novel written by different authors over the  world. It is a novel which 
is multi-language and  suitable for  different cultures. If the dream comes true, 
this  cultural product  can become one of the main streams. By t hat time, there 
will be posts like 'Book Directors.' One novel becomes one platform for different 
people. The book director will  consolidate  all the pieces written  by different 
authors. An 'open'novel is a book open for readers?suggestions  and ideas.Apart 
from that, the novels have different editions and will let  readers to choose the 
style they preferred.

Frankly, this is only a dream. Since the ancient times, writers can hardly accept 
each others?writings. If you want many authors to work  cooperatively together, 
it's almost impossible. Our book is the start and I wish that in the future there 
would be more to come. Let's work hard together to achieve another era in writing.

My second dream is the peaceful ascendancy of China and  other Asian countries. I 
hope that their power will keep increasing and they can play a  major role on the 
world  stage  and become  equal with the stron g powers in the West,  have mutual 
respect with  them  and work hard together  for international affairs. To realize 
this dream, we have to arouse the Westerners?interest in Eastern culture so that 
they  can have a deeper  understanding  of Eastern culture  and even can identify 
with it. 

Thank  God, I met the other  two authors and  we all have the same  dream. In the 
year 2007, I 'woke up' and became very alert. I strongly believe that my prophecy 
will soon become true…In the future, with your support, I dare to say I 
have made two great achievements!
