I. Introduction
As we all know, China has developed quickly and become more and more strong after the reform and opening-up. However, there are some social problems which due to false values and go against the national spirit and national all-around development. Therefore, our leaders put forward the slogan “Chinese dream” to encourage our people unite as one and realize our national prosperous and strong. We find that Chinese dream is a term similar with American dream. A lot of scholars devote themselves to the analysis of Chinese and American dreams. As Geng Liangliang puts it in his article, On the Differences and Similarities between American Dream and Chinese Dream, “American dream was rooted in American specific historic culture, especially immigrant culture. While Chinese dream came into being after the broken of another Chinese dream” (10). Another Chinese scholar Shi Yuzhi in his writing Seven Main Features about Chinese Dream Differ from American Dream expresses that “Chinese dream is the dream of prosperous and strong nation, while American dream is the dream of inpidual affluence; Chinese dream depends on the power of people, while American dream relies on the publicizing of inpiduality” (41). However, there is something similar between Chinese and American dreams. Chen Yao in her writing The Analysis of American Dream and Differences with Chinese Dream writes that “there is no doubt that Chinese dream and American dream express the people of two great powers pursue happy life and excellent future, which are the similarities of both” (15). This paper will elaborate three main aspects: differences, similarities of two dreams, and benefits that we could get from American dream. Differences will be explained mainly from six aspects, including connotations, cultural backgrounds, central values, approaches of achieving them, prospects and effects. Similarities will be expanded from human thoughts and life pursuit. In the end, it makes a conclusion to point out the enlightenment for the development of China. 浅谈中国梦与美国梦的异同现实启示:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_34513.html
