American Dream was originally proposed by American historian Adams (James Truslow Adams) in 1931 in his book American Epic. American Dream is a belief that people will be able to enjoy a better life in America if they can work hard and make arduous efforts.
Many historians and sociologists hold different points of view on American Dream and give different interpretations and explanations. Professor Norman Mailer(2001) at the University of California Los Angeles believes that American Dream is equal to all the Americans and they have the same opportunity of success. This view should be combined with the historical background of the United States and it is inseparable to the country's history.
Most famous historians believe that the reason for American Dream pursued by most people is that they have a desire to pursue wealth. Matthew Warshall(2012), the famous history professor of Connecticut State University, considers that the eternal theme of American Dream is the pursuit of money. As more and more people think and worship money first, American Dream is not so charming as before. For example, the early Americans advocated honesty and diligence to get rich; but today, Americans are increasingly keen to seek get-rich-quick. Nowadays, the American President Obama raises a new concept of American Dream from the perspective of a president, taking his own development and life experiences as a clue, as well as considering the factors of values, constitution, policy, opportunity, fate, race and family. With the changing times, more and more people are becoming not keen on the American Dream. The autocratic tyranny and hegemony, economic bubble and speculation of America in the world make American people fear that their own dreams and fortune will suddenly disappear one day.
Chinese Dream is a big idea and a big goal for China and it is also a high enrichment of China’s ambitious development goals in the hundred years of the 21st century. Chinese Dream runs through modern and contemporary Chinese history and becomes a kind of spiritual power which inspires people to strenuously and constantly strive to become stronger. When a dream is possible to gather together all the anticipation and pursuit of the whole nation all the time, this dream is endowed with a profound connotation of a common vision and a powerful charisma to mobilize the whole nation to hold perseverance and inheritance. To achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the great dream and common wish of all the Chinese people, as well as the theme of modern and contemporary Chinese history.
