I have a Chinese daydream

In his inaugural address as Chinese newly-elected president, Mr. Xi Jinping called for a "Chinese Dream".

The dream, according to commentators, is to return China to the position it held in the middle ages: the world’s most advanced and civilized nation. Recognizing the spiritual vacuum at the heart of China’s economic miracle, Mr Xi seems keen to fill it with a sense that the country could recreate its glorious history.

Well, do you know that Mr Xi said this "I have a Chinese dream" at daytime? So it is really daydream for Chinese people, at least for those who are poor or not powerful. Whether the nation is wealthy and glory actually is irrelevant with their daily lives. And traditionally, newly-elected Chinese presidents offer some inspiring visions for the public, which never realize, or come true but with big cost.
