I Have a Dream. By Johnson Choi, MBA, International Business Consultant since 1985
我有一個夢. 作者：蔡永強，工商管理碩士，國際財經顧問（1985年至今）
昨晚，我做了一個夢。
我在半夜醒來，臉上還帶著微笑。
讓我再次強調：這只是一個夢——但這是一個充滿象徵意義、家庭情感、歷史傳承，以及對未來希望的夢。
我的一對雙胞胎孫子出生於 10月1日。
10月1日是中華人民共和國的國慶日，而10月10日——通常稱為 「雙十節」——則是中華民國在台灣所慶祝的國慶日。
因為我的兩個孫子是雙胞胎，而且同樣出生於10月1日，我突然產生了一個有趣的聯想：
兩個孫子。兩個「十」。雙十——十十。
然後，我的夢開始了。

在夢中，很多年以後，我的一位雙胞胎孫子長大後成為了中國國家主席，而他的雙胞胎兄弟則成為了在和平統一之後，中華人民共和國台灣特別行政區的行政長官。
兩兄弟。
兩種不同的責任。
一個中華民族大家庭。
當然，這只是一個夢。沒有人能夠預知未來世代會選擇怎樣的政治安排，也沒有人知道歷史最終會如何發展。
但也許，這正是夢想之所以有意義的地方。
夢想讓我們可以超越今天的分歧，去想像一個不同的未來——一個海峽兩岸人民都能夠在和平、繁榮、尊嚴與相互理解之中生活的未來。
我們的姓氏——蔡（Choi）——也與中國悠久的歷史和文化傳承有著深厚的聯繫。
因此，這個夢對我而言格外具有個人意義：一位祖父看著自己兩個年幼的孫子，心中不禁想像，他們這一代人在未來的人生中，也許能夠承擔多麼不平凡的角色。
當我醒來的時候，我笑了。
也許，這只是一位祖父的夢。
也許，這是一個關於家庭的夢。
也許，這是一個關於中國的夢。
而最重要的是，也許這是一個關於和平團聚、希望，以及下一代無限可能的夢。
夢想不需要任何代價——但有時候，它卻能讓我們提前看見一點自己所希望的未來。
Last night, I had a dream.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a smile on my face.
Let me emphasize: it was a dream—but it was a dream filled with symbolism, family, history, and hope for the future.
My twin grandsons were born on October 1.
October 1 is the National Day of the People’s Republic of China, while October 10—often called Double Ten Day (雙十節)—is the National Day observed by the Republic of China in Taiwan.
Because my grandsons are twins, both born on October 1, a playful thought came to me:
Two grandsons. Two “Tens.” Double Ten — 十十.
And then came my dream.
In my dream, many years from now, one of my twin grandsons had grown up to become the President of China, while his twin brother had become the Chief Executive of a peacefully unified Taiwan Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China.
Two brothers.
Two different responsibilities.
One Chinese family.
It was only a dream, of course. No one can know what political arrangements future generations may choose or what history may bring.
But perhaps that is what makes dreams meaningful.
They allow us to imagine a future beyond the disagreements of today—a future in which people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can live in peace, prosperity, dignity, and mutual understanding.
Our family name, Choi (蔡), also carries a long connection with Chinese history and heritage. That makes this dream especially personal to me: a grandfather looking at two young grandsons and wondering what extraordinary roles their generation might someday play.
When I woke up, I smiled.
Perhaps it was simply a grandfather’s dream.
Perhaps it was a dream about family.
Perhaps it was a dream about China.
And perhaps, above all, it was a dream about peaceful reunion, hope, and the possibilities of the next generation.
Dreams cost nothing—but sometimes they give us a glimpse of the future we hope to see.
