It is a model for immigrant communities. He believes that the success story of Chinese immigrants will affect other ethnic communities, which is another important significance of this film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190922-Chasing-the-dream-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19109\" src=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190922-Chasing-the-dream-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190922-Chasing-the-dream-5.jpg 360w, https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190922-Chasing-the-dream-5-276x300.jpg 276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dai Shuangming said that he has seen this documentary, which is a very worthy documentary. The film records the stories of old, middle, young and young generations of Chinese immigrants spreading Chinese culture and self-improvement in the United States. It should be said that this film is a rare &#8220;autobiography&#8221; of the Chinese community. The United States is a multicultural country. As Chinese and Chinese, it is necessary to maintain some characteristics of the nation and spread the culture of the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dai Shuangming said that the characters in the documentary and the documentary itself are doing things that spread Chinese culture. Every Chinese is also a messenger of culture. The Chinese community has a lot of things in this area, doing more practical things, promoting the positive energy of the Chinese community, and introducing the stories of Chinese people in this aspect to the mainstream society and other ethnic groups. The documentary is also doing things to promote Sino-US relations. He pays tribute to the production team and those who contributed to the film, and congratulates the film on schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Actor Peter Coyote wrote in his congratutory letter:\u00a0 I was delighted to be able to lend my narrative voice to this important film, illuminating the stories of today&#8217;s Chinese immigrants building creative and rewarding lives in the United States.\u00a0 Particularly in such difficult times, it is important to remember the many contributions immigrants from all nations have made to our country, including my own grandparents.\u00a0 The individuals profiled in your film demonstrate vividly that through enterprise and perseverance they have brought positive values and important cultural experiences that enrich American life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190922-Chasing-the-dream-3.jpg\"><img
