“The people agree that everyone should have his own visions. I, too, have visions, or wishes. I wish that every Chinese citizen can live a life of satisfaction, every peasant child can go to school and every person reaching a working age can have a job.

Wen Jiabao (1942) former Premier of the People's Republic of China

Wen Jiabao (2004) cited in: South China Morning Post, 7 May 2004.
