Some Internet chatters may notice that I did not come to chat yesterday. Well, I had a wonderful dream yesterday, a very sweet and beautiful dream.
In my dream I met our Great Chairman Mao. I kneeled down and said to Him. "Great Chairman Mao. I am a Chinese American. Are you mad at me if I have a Chinese map and an American map at my home? And I told my kids that China is my motherland and our roots are in China, America is my kids' motherland. America is our new homeland now." Great Mao said " Oh, no, not all." "Thank you, your Majesty."
Then I asked Him " Great Chairman Mao, is it ok that I love America as well as China? I’ve got to tell you the truth, Great Chairman Mao, that I love America better and more than China and that's why I stayed in America and became American citizen. Is it ok?" Great Mao said" It is perfectly fine. Look, you, and all of Chinese Americans newly immigrated from China are just like young married ladies who should love her hu*****and, her kids and her new happy family. Otherwise, you are not a good wife and you cannot have a happy life. As your grandpa, I would love to see that you marry to a great gentleman who is from a richer and better family though I always say that America is a ‘paper tiger’. A tiger is a tiger after all though it is a ‘pare tiger’. We China might still have 150 years to go and catch up this “paper tiger”. I take back what I said before of 15 years that we can catch up or pass this tiger. I appreciate that you, your hu*****and and your kids have great love and passion to China." "Thank you, your Majesty."
I continued " Great Chairman Mao, are you mad at me if I criticized my brothers, sisters or even my mom and dad on behalf of them back home in China?" " Of course not. As matter of fact, we appreciate different opinions and ideas, especially from those like you. And I understand your feeling. Anyway, you are still our ‘daughter’ said Great Chairman Mao laughing and asked me, “ Who is mad at you because of that. I will send them to 5.7 school, especially those who once ‘HE GUO JI TIAN YANG ME SHUI’. I really doubt whether they really learn anything abroad. How come they are not able to tell who is our friend and who is our enemy? This is our first and most important issue.”
Great Chairman Mao looked really angry and I was scared to death. I begged Him with a trembling voice “Please don’t, they are my brothers, sisters, mom and dad after all. They just look like that they misunderstand me.” With a smile on his face, Great Chairman Mao joked “ ‘ One hundred flowers to bloom and one hundred schools to think’, and this time is for real, not to get ‘snakes’ out cave. I will not send them to 5.7 school. Go back to America and have a sweet and beautiful family. ‘CHANG HUI NIANG JIA KAN KAN’ with your hu*****and and kids” Great chairman touched my head with a large and warm hand. Then He was disappeared with a smile. With a great relief, happily I stood up when I suddenly saw Martin Luther King.
King said to me. " Young man. How long have you been in America? You don't need to ask Mao. Don't you see our black Americans are much better than before? Chinese Americans are much better than before, too. And our America is much better now. We can sit anywhere in the bus and we can go to any school right now. Look, there is Powel, Rice, Zhao, the other day, President named a Hispanic American as Attorney General and another gentleman emigrated from Cuba as a Secretary. Many Chinese Americans like Mischeal Kwan and Yang Zhi Yuan, are doing so well in almost every field.”
Martin Luther King continued, “ In our America, you are free to love, to think and to talk, and of course, free to dream. Look, I am a big dreamer. I will assure you that your dream will be realized one by one in America if you work hard and smart." "Thank you, sir. I am so glad to see you." I said, " I respect you very much. I learned lot about you even when I was in China, even as a teenager. You are a great hero to many of my Chinese friends. I am always touched, moved with tears coming into my eyes whenever I listen to your “ I have a dream” in Washington DC Mall. That's one of the reasons why I came to America and stay. I followed your dream."
“ Good young man,” King said, “One thing I don’t understand very well. Quite some of Chinese Americans still don’t think that America is their country though they have stayed in America for a long time or even have grand kids in America. It is not smart at all though Chinese are very intelligent. Look, black Americans always think that America is our country no matter what happen to us. We just continue to fight for our interests and rights in a legal and positive way. Please forget about what others think who you are. As matter of fact, not many people really care much whether you are Chinese Americans or somebody else nowadays. Be self-confident. You are Americans and America is your country. You deserve every single right that other Americans have.” I was so happy and relaxed to talk to Martin Luther King when I suddenly thought that my dear fellow Chinese, my dear fellow Chinese Americans and my dear fellow Internet chatters may love to join in the talk, too.
Dear friends, please come and share with me this sweet and beautiful dream. You know I am a big dreamer and one sunny day I found out myself in America when I was waked up from a most sweet and beautiful dream in my life. I know that most of time and most of you wake up while I am dreaming. This might be your last chance to share my dream, my dear friends. I’ve got to be back in my dreams. No Worry is Be Happy forever because he never stops dreaming. And No Worry always believes that tomorrow will be better. |
