HCThe 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 freign 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.作者自幼成长于北京，曾在25岁前一直生活在中国，亲身经历了1972年后中国社会长达五十年的历史变迁。由于父母在中国对外贸易进出口公司工作，从上世纪70年代起，作者便通过与外国商人的接触，见识了西方世界的发展动态。80年代中期，作者的两位挚友相继赴美留学并定居，1988年，作者进入一家大型国有外贸公司工作，1990年首次前往美国洽谈贸易，1999年则正式移居北美，往来中美之间，见证了两国社会的显著变化。作者对历史题材电影情有独钟，尤爱《教父》《美国往事》《阿甘正传》《断背山》《贫民窟的百万富翁》《灿烂人生》《浩劫》等跨时代之作。出于对中美关系的独特视角和见闻，作者一直渴望看到一部反映中美五十年发展历程的电影，遗憾的是至今未能如愿。为此，他创作了电影剧本《时代梦》，本意为自娱，现决定出版，意在抛砖引玉，希望有识之士能够进一步完善此剧本。 Read More Read Less
