Born in the 1990s -- Wu Jiani, 16

“Some foreigners are still obsessed with outdated ideas about our country and our people. I hope to change that bias.”

For Wu Jiani, 16, dreams are necessities of life. She says they provide the reasons for living.

Her practical dream is to learn more foreign languages so that she can someday raise foreign understanding of China.

“Some foreigners are still obsessed with outdated ideas about our country and our people,” Wu says. “I hope to change that bias.”

But being a young woman with a romantic bent, Wu also harbors a dream to visit Paris one day.

She has been accepted for enrollment in a vocational school, where she plans to train as an air hostess. That’s one way to make her travel dreams come true.

Unlike some of her generation who are considered self-centered, Wu says she also wants to do things in her life to care for the needy.
