"IF you love him, send him to New York, for it's heaven. If you hate him, send him to New York, for it's hell." These are lines from A Beijing Native in New York, a popular Chinese TV series from the early 1990s. Until that point, going abroad had only been an option for China's elite. Once this changed and the trend gradu- ally swept across the country, regular Chinese people began harboring an "American dream" in their hearts.
