The stories of six Chinese citizens who came to the United States over the last 30 years. They live by six versions of the American Dream: a geophysicist, who was among the first 50 students and scholars China sent to study in the United States after 30 years of frozen relations between the two countries; a former Red Guard and now a writer who served as Chairman Mao's foot soldier; a musician trying to find his niche market in America; a community leader believing in Martin Luther King's dream; an illegal immigrant, who gave up a respectful life for one that faces constant exploitation; and a college student seeking to challenge American uncertainties.
