梦想，这个词对于许多人来说都是美好的，是一个充满着幻想的，因为他们都拥有一个很大的它。可是对于一些人来说，却是清晰而短暂的，因为他们的梦想很简单，很小，也很容易实现，这个人，就是我。我不知道真正的梦想是什么，也不知道梦想的含义是什么，每当别人问我我的梦想是什么，我就是五花八门的答，各种答案都有，他们也对我说过，为什么你每次的梦想都不一样啊？我什么也没有说，因为我不知道该说些什么。幼年时，自己还没有到上学的年龄，每当看着街上的哥哥姐姐们，背着书包去学校，心里就特别的羡慕，自己希望也能向他们一样，能够在学校的学堂里读书，知道更多的我不知道的事物。那时候，每当爸爸妈妈问我：“，你的梦想是什么呀？”我都会骄傲的说：“我的梦想很大，我要去上学”，他们说：“你的梦想就快实现了”。果然，一年之后，我的梦想就实现了，我也像那些哥哥姐姐们一样，坐在学堂里上学了。儿童时，我看到书中精彩的描写着一些景点，有描写得很漂亮的，有描写得很壮观的，也有描写得很神秘的，于是，我又有一个梦想似的了，走遍那些景点。可是，当我看到电视中那些军人时，觉得他们很伟大，很酷，又将梦想改为了，当一名军人。到了小学6年级的时候，一切以学习为重，我又将梦想改为，考上一个好的初中。初中时，有很多人都在向我讲述他们的梦想，讲述他们的梦想有多么的宏伟，多么的有意义，当他们问我的梦想时，我回忆了小时候自己的梦想，觉得自己的所谓的那些梦想同他们的相比，是很渺小的。我说：”你们知道真正的梦想是什么？“他们的答案各种各样，其中有一个是这样的：真正的梦想不就是，只有你长大后才能做到的事。我认为，真正的梦想是一件自己能做到的事，也是自己想要做的一件事。现在，我认为自己每天都会有梦想，每天的梦想都不一样，比如：今天在课堂上要回答几次问题，需要将那些课文背诵了，需要学会哪些题。在完成这些梦想之后，给自己一些奖励，没有实现的，就给自己定些惩罚。这样，自己每天能做完很多事，也完成了很多梦想，自己也会有一种别人体会不到了成就感。其实，真正的梦想不需要有多么的伟大，多么的有意义，只要自己能做到就好。

It covers an area of 9,560,900 km² and is the third largest country in the world, being surpassed is size only by the Russia and Canada. The country stretches for about 5,500 km from the heilong Jiang river in the north ,near the city of Mohe, to the Zengmu Reef of the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea and for about 5,200 km form the Pamir highlands in the far west to the junction of the rivers Heilong Jiang and Wusuli jiang(Ussuri) in the east.Its land frontier measures 28,000 km and is shared by North Korea in the north, the Russia in the northeast and northwest, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan in the west and southwest, and Burma, Laos and Vietnam in the south. The Chinese coast is more than 18,000 km long and bounded by the Gulf of Bohai, the Yellow Sea, and the East and South China Seas. More than 5,000 islands dot the China coast, the lorgest of which is Taiwan(35,380 km*km ),followed by the island of Hainan(34,380 km*km ).Politically, China is divided into 22 provinces (including Taiwan), five autonomous regions and the three municipalities of Beijing (Peking), Tianjin and Shanghai, which are directly under the central government. Capital: The capital of the People's Republic of China is Beijing(Peking). National flag: The national flag has five yellow, five-pointed stars on the upper felt part on a field of red. The red color of the flag symbolizes revolution. The five yellow stars represent the great unity of the revolutionary peoples under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. National emblem: The national emblem is with the famous gate, Tianan Men, in the center, illuminated by five stars and encircled by stalks of grain and a cogwheel.China's land surface slopes from west to east and can be divided into three zones: The Qinghai-Tibet-Plateau has an average altitude of over 4,000 m. The greatest highland area of the world is located here -- the "Roof of the World"--with an average elevation of over 5,400 m. This zone covers an area of 2,200,000 km*km.The second zone begins east of the kunlun Mountains and has a mean altitude rantging from 1,000--2,000 m. The Tarim Basin, the Mongolian Highlands, the Loess Plateau of the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau are part of this region. East of this, the third zone begins with hardly any elevations exceeding 500 m. The relief levels off in an eastward direction toward the China Sea. This has traditionally been the agricultural region of the country. Here Chinese culture and civilization developed, and it is today the most densely populated area.The most important rivers flow from west to east, following the topography of the land: the Huanghe, Yellow River, is 4,848 km long and the Changjiang (Yangtze) is 5,983 km in length.China's topography is characterized by harsh contrasts and varied landscapes. The Mt., Qomolangma, Mount Everest,on the China/Nepal border has an elevation of 8,848 m,the highest mountain in the world.The Turfan Depression in the autonomous region of Xinjiang is the lowest point in China --155 m below sea level.Beijing is visited by millions of guests from China and abroad every year. The city offers a bit of everything, no matter what line of interest the tourist chooses to follow. The most important sights are in the quarter around Tianamen Square with more recent buildings to the east ,south and west and the Imperial Palace to the north. Visitors on a short trip should also visit the Summer Palace, YiheYuan. Equally attractive are the temple complexes, as for example the lama temple or the complexes in Xishan, the Western Hills. A must in every program is a trip to the Great Wall.Most visitors to Beijing will get the chance to take a trip to the Great Wall. There are special daily tourist trains to Badaling, 85km north of Beijing. This pass was repaired in 1957. If one should get the chance to go by bus or by car, this is recommended, since one os not bound to a schedule and avoids the crowds which form on the wall after the train's arrival. The tour takes about two hours, no matter what means of transportation is used.Tian'an Men, Gate of Heavenly Peace 天安门On the national coat of arms of the people's Republic of China, the Gate of Heavenly Peace is reepresented as the symbol of the revolutionary new China.This is where Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. Tian'an Men is located north of Tian'anmen Square and leads to the Imperial Palae. It was built as early as 1417 and mentioned as the main gate of the former Imperial Palace,Chengtian Men. The wooden structure burned down in 1457 and was reerected in 1651 and then called Tian' an Men. It is 34 m high, has red stone walls, a wooden roof and five entrances A portrait of Mao Zedong hangs over the main entrance, which in earlier times only the emperor had the right to use; to the left are the signs "Long live the People's Republic of China" and to the right: "Long live the grat union between the peoples of the world." A grandstand for up to 20,000 guests is above those banners.The gate is surrounded by a ring-moat, the Golden Water Spring, which was arranged to guard the Imperial Palace.

Two stone pillars stand in front of the entire complex, symbols of heavenly peace and the emperor's authority. They show a relief of dragon motifs and stylized clouds. On top sits the mythical beast Kong. Next to each piliar stands an iron lion. The gate, as well as the square in front of it, were not accessible to the public in imperial times. Often religious and military ceremonies were heeld here, imperial decrees and the results of Mandarin tests announced, and death sentences carried out.The Imperial Palace, also called the Forbidden City, is one of the country's most important sights, for it is a symbol of traditional China and likewise the biggest and best preserved masterpiece of classical architecture.The palace covers an area of 720,000 m. It is surrounded by a moat 50 m wide and a wall 10.4 m high with watch towers at each of the corners.The entire palace grounds consist of two complexes, the outer and the inner courtyards.
