The Dream of an Era

Beschreibung

"The Dream of an Era" is an epic drama spanning 45 years, chronicling the life journeys of five elementary school classmates from Beijing in 1972, showcasing the transformation of Chinese society from 1972 to 2017. The lives of the five protagonists, Li Fei, Lu Cheng, Tang Long, Shu Xiaoping (female), and Du Xiong, illustrate the intricate interplay between personal destinies and societal development. The narrative begins with Nixon's visit to China. It unfolds in reverse chronological order, capturing historical milestones like the later stages of the Cultural Revolution, the 89 Democracy Movement, the return of Hong Kong, 9/11, the Beijing Olympics, and Trump's inauguration. The story is told through dual narrative threads, primarily in China and the United States. These intertwined narratives explore the evolution of Sino-American relations and follow the five main characters as they navigate choices, struggles, and growth amid historical shifts. To comply with regulations in different regions, the A Version will be published first, with the B and C Versions, covering 2017-2024, to be released subsequently. This work serves as a foundation, with the author inviting others to help refine and complete the script. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1972¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1972¿¿2017¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿911¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿A¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿2017¿2024¿¿B¿C¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

Autor

The author was born and raised in Beijing, residing in China until age 25. He has witnessed China's significant social transformations over the past fifty years. Growing up, he gained unique insights into the Western world through interactions with foreign traders visiting China, as both his parents worked in the country's foreign trade import company. In the mid-1980s, two of his closest friends moved to the United States to study and eventually settled there. In 1988, the author joined a large Chinese state-owned foreign trade company, making his first visit to the U.S. in 1990 for business negotiations. He relocated to North America in 1999 and has since divided his time between China and the U.S., closely observing the dramatic changes in both societies. An admirer of historical dramas, the author is particularly inspired by iconic films such as The Godfather, Once Upon a Time in America, Forrest Gump, Brokeback Mountain, Slumdog Millionaire, The Best of Youth, and Shoah. With a unique perspective on U.S.-China relations, he has long hoped for a film that reflects the complex fifty-year relationship between the two countries. He began writing The Dream of an Era to fill this void. Originally a personal project, the work has since evolved, and he now seeks to publish it, inviting others to contribute to and further refine the narrative.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿25¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1972¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿70¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿80¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1988¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1990¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1999¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
