Many inspired by 'Chinese Dream'

Everybody has a dream

Shortly after Xi's remarks, many people shared their own dreams through the Internet, which range from "less corruption" to "higher income" and "a more equal society".

"My version of the Chinese dream is national prosperity, social progress and people's happiness," Yi Zhongtian, a renowned Chinese history scholar, wrote in his micro blog. "We need a Chinese dream, but also more practitioners to fulfill it."

Li Liancheng, a deputy to the National People's Congress and also a village official from Puyang city in Central China's Henan province, said that the Chinese dream is the farmers' dream.

"If the farmers nationwide could lead a better life, the Chinese dream would be realized," Li said, adding that farmers should have equal rights to education, health insurance and pensions that urban residents enjoy.

On May 31, one day ahead of International Children's Day, Vice-President Li Yuanchao called for teaching about the Chinese dream to children, to inspire them to become contributors to national rejuvenation.

The Chinese Young Pioneers, the country's largest children's organization, should promote the Chinese dream among children and inspire their interest in science and creativity, Li said when visiting students in Xianyang city of Northwest China's Shaanxi province on Friday.
