久违的上海美国中心“美国梦”系列将在2月16日开启新的一季，领馆的一些外交官将同我们分享他们从其他国家开始的美国梦。本期活动的主讲人是Tony Hornik-Tran，他曾是一名越南难民。他身为校长的父亲和身为家政学教师的母亲拿出所有积蓄安排全家人前往一个自由国度。1982年，Tony一家与其他37人一起乘坐一艘小渔船离开了越南。出发前，Tony的父亲说：“教育将是你未来成功的关键。你要用它来帮助自己和他人。” 在海上航行了五天六夜后，他们到达了菲律宾。托尼和他的家人在三个不同的难民营度过了接下来的十一个月，与来自世界各地的众多国际非营利组织工作人员会面。Tony被这些人的慷慨、承诺和奉献精神深深打动，他承诺会回来帮助其他有需要的难民，就像他们帮助自己一样。如今，Tony成为了一名美国外交官。加入我们，来听Tony讲述自己的人生故事，以及探讨在当今的美国社会中如何理解、实现（或不实现）“美国梦”。

The American Center continues its “American Dreams” series on February 16.  Join on the journeys of some of our diplomats who started their American dreams from other countries.  Tony Hornik-Tran will tell his story, beginning as a refugee from post-war Vietnam.  His father, a principal, and mother, a home economics teacher, gathered their life savings and arranged for the family to go to a free country.  In 1982, Tony’s family departed Vietnam on a small fishing boat with 37 other people.  Before they left, Tony’s father said, “Education will be the key to your future success.  Use it to help yourself and others.”  After five days and six nights at sea, they made it to the Philippines.  Tony and his family spent 11 months at three different refugee camps, meeting with numerous international non-profit organization workers from all over the world.  Tony was deeply touched by these individuals’ generosity, commitment, and dedication, and he promised to come back to help other refugees in need as they had helped him.  Now an American, Tony is a U.S. diplomat.  Join us to hear Tony's story and to discuss how the concept of the American Dream is understood, realized, or not realized in American society today.
