Synopsis
American Dreams in China (2013) is a drama from director Peter Chan that you can watch online on iFILM. Three students in 1980s China, all dreaming of a life in the United States, end up building an English-language school at home instead.
Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang start small, coaching classmates desperate to pass the exams that lead overseas: borrowed basements, hand-copied notes, never enough cash. Their tiny operation swells into an education empire — and with the money come fights over pride, ownership and what each of the three actually wants from life. Friendship and business get so tangled that the bond nearly snaps.
Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and Tong Dawei play the trio whose fortunes stretch across two decades of a country in flux. Peter Chan frames it as more than a startup tale; it's a portrait of a generation for whom the "American dream" turned out to be a dream realized back home. One for viewers who like stories about friendship, ambition and the price of success. Stream American Dreams in China (2013) online on iFILM.
