You may have heard the term “the American Dream”. In 1848, James W. Marshall found gold in California and people began having golden dreams．That 19th century “American Dream\motivated the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the “Golden State”．

The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors（采矿者）but also waves of immigrants throughout that century and the next. People from Europe, and a large number of Chinese, arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets. But most, instead, worked as railroad laborers. They created the oldest Chinatown, in San Francisco, and gave the city a Chinese name “the old gold hill”.

In the 20th century, some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous through determination and hard work. Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination almost made the American Dream a nightmare（噩梦）．

Then, in the 1990s, California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley. People poured their energy into the Internet．This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortune in America. Better pay, a nice house, and a rising standard of living will always be attractive. However, the new American Dream is no longer just about money. It encourages Americans to consume wisely to protect the environment, improve the quality of life, and promote social justice．

The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the model of the new American Dream. After years of hard work, he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a super movie star and then a governor. Many people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California a brighter future．
