Younger generation returning to realize personal dreams

Growing up in a family of ordinary workers in Northeast China, Song Xiaolei had a wild dream during her childhood.

"I wanted to be an attorney like the ones I saw in movies from Hong Kong and overseas," she recalled. During school holidays, she would watch movies in the family's small apartment after her parents had left for work on their bicycles.

While childhood dreams are dismissed by many as mere fantasy, Song managed to work step by step toward her own.
