For his graduate thesis, a German student rode 5,800 kilometers in China to learn about the Chinese Dream among ordinary people.“what’s your Chinese Dream?” This is the question he raised for every stranger he came acro on his 100-day journey.The 28-year-old student surnamed Jorg came to China for the first time in 2011.After a year in China, he was able to use chopsticks and speak Chinese.Because of his interest in Chinese culture, he went to Zhe-jiang University in 2015 for a master’s degree in sinology
Jorg learned the term “Chinese Dream” in 2013, and now it has become a hot word in Chinese society.With an eagerne to understand the true connotation of the term among ordinary Chinese people, he started his journey on May 1st, 2016.Jorg believes that riding is natural, environmentally-friendly, and flexible.Before starting his trip, he specifical1y carried out bicycle training.His trip covered 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, from the northernmost city of Mohe to the southernmost city of Sanya.Jorg has set up a public account on social media to record and share his experiences during the trip.Urban-rural disparity was one of the focuses of his investigation.He found that people in the countryside long for a peaceful life, while urban residents follow their hearts.In addition, older generations of Chinese are more concerned with social stability and equality than economy desires, Jorg said, adding that education and individual development are the major consideration of the young generation.“Though the people seek their own way to realize their dreams, they all believe that a strong country can make everything poible,” Jorg said.

三、中文翻译
为了他的毕业论文，一名德国学生在中国骑行5800公里，了解普通民众的中国梦。 “你的中国梦是什么?”这是他在100天的旅途中遇到的每一个陌生人都会问的问题。
这名28岁的学生乔格于2011年首次来到中国。在中国呆了一年之后，他会使用筷子，还会说中文。
由于对中国文化的兴趣，他于2015年考入浙江大学攻读汉学硕士学位。乔格在2013年学会了“中国梦”这个词，现在这个词已经成为中国社会的热门词汇。2016年5月1日，带着对中国普通老百姓这个词 真正含义的渴望，他开始了自己的旅程。
Jorg认为骑车是自然的，环保的，灵活的。出发前，他专门进行了自行车训练。
他的行程涵盖了12个省、自治区、直辖市，从最北端的漠河市到最南端的三亚。乔格在社交媒体上建立了一个公众账号，记录并分享他的旅行经历。
城乡差距是他研究的重点之一。他发现，农村人渴望平静的生活，而城市居民则随心所欲。
此外，中国老一辈人更关心社会稳定和平等，而不是经济需求，Jorg说，教育和个人发展是年轻一代的主要考虑因素。
乔格说:“尽管人们以自己的方式去实现他们的梦想，但他们都相信一个强大的国家可以让一切成为可能。”
