The term “American Dream” was invented in 1931. The American Dream is defined as the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society where upward mobility is possible for everyone. The London-based media company WPP carried out research in 2014 to discover the power of the Chinese Dream in comparison with the American Dream.

Reading & Comprehending>Reading 2>Cultivating Core Values Cultivating Core Values — Dedication Dedication is a person’s attitude of taking responsibility for the work and the learning they do. The value of dedication is reflected in people’s respect of their professions, and how they love and value what they do by treating their work and learning with seriousness and responsibility. A respectful and responsible attitude lays the foundation for the realization of one’s ideals, and it is also a basic requirement for the value of dedication. The development of a country and the progress of a society cannot be achieved without the dedication of the people. In this society, whoever makes a difference is dedicated; whoever succeeds in a certain field is particularly diligent. Yu Minhong is one of those dedicated Chinese Dream chasers, and his story is rather inspiring.
