• My dreams
• Flattering words about me from my dad's friend in China: "...China today must suffer from pollution problem. Few people here really love the nature, animals and environment. But recently our people starts to realize this problem. Martin Luther King has a lecture named "I have a dream." Now I want to quote partly from this lecture: "I have a dream that one day lots of Chinese Megan save our sky and river." We need Megan's spirit."
