Early 1930 s, Western capitalist world due to the 1929-1933 economic crisis into a abyss of political, economics and beliefs, could be unable to extricate themselves.In order to overcome the crisis, they resort to expense of others to solve the crisis, which made the colonial and semi-colonial countries and regions had been seriously damaged in economy, and was the same of China. Capitalist countries increase the pillage to Small countries and regions, and Japan flagrantly launched a series of wars, which made that the attractiveness of capitalism was weakening; and the same time, as the world’s first socialist state, the Soviet Union had made brilliant achievements in the first five-year plan. The Miracle about "islands of prosperity" quickly demonstrated the strong appeal of socialism; this time, China was suffering from the economic crisis, and the intensity of economic plunder from capitalist countries was stronger, what’s worse, Japanese imperialists outrageously launched wars of aggression against China, which intensified China’s national crisis. Facing with the acts of aggression from Japan, Chinese patriots and organizations in various circles had demanded unity against the Japanese invaders. On the one hand, the national government hoped the international coalition to help to mediate, on the other hand, it applied the name of "stabbing outside first to be peace within " slogan,showing the compromise and concessions to Japan, but "anti-Communist" to internal active.The CPC, on the one hand, exposed the Japanese conspiracy of invasion, and criticized the national government’s compromise policy, on the other hand, called on all Chinese people to unite against Japan. Facing with this situation, the national government, stepped up internal control, implying of "autocracy" in the cultural sector to strengthen control. They made assassinations or arrests to some progressives, and made some progressive publications closed down or "rectification", which caused the dark clouds shrouded and immobility over China. Against this background, Hu Yoshi,who served as editor of "Oriental magazine",launched the initiative about "in1933 New Year everyone makes a return to dream" to the national elite and celebrities to hope to inspire people the courage to move forward. Finally, on January 1st, 1933,on the "Oriental magazine" and "New Year’s dream" was published in a special issue that were 240 dreams from 142 people. There essays about "New Year’s Dream" were subject to China’s dream in the future, and the candidates were mostly intellectuals, so we called it the great discussion on “Chinese Dream" of the Republic of China intellectuals. In this paper, according to the background of Home and Abroad, I researched the great discussion about "Chinese Dreams", analyzed the over 240 dreams from more than 140 of these individuals, and divided these large and small dreams roughly into nine categories, namely: Revival dreams, World of great harmony and socialist dreams, Enlightened despotism dreams, Freedom and equality dreams, The rule of law and Minzhi dreams, Education Dreams, Tending to Peace and prosperity of individuals dreams, Nightmare and scolding title, Other dreams. And I studied the origin or connotation of these different types of dreams, showed their contents, analyzed the reasons. Meanwhile, I attempt to explore the practical significance about building and pursuing the immediate Chinese dream.
