Chinese Girl Realizes American Dream Through Her Tom Cruise Book
A small village of China. The big dream of America. In between is Tom Cruise.
(PRWEB via PR Web Direct) August 22,
2005 -- "It's Tom Cruise that inspired me to come to the U.S. from a small
village of China to pursue my own American dream," says Niki Yan, the young
Chinese writer/actress who just finished a book "My Love for you, Tom Cruise --
a Desperate Chinese girl's Confession." This insightful and inspirational fun
book is devoted to the person who changed her life forever -- Tom Cruise, the
Hollywood movie star who has been her hero and role model since she was 11 years
old.
"I am so lucky that I had a model that I could follow since I was a
little girl. We were really poor, and we lived in a small mountain village of
China, which had no water, no electricity, life was very limited and difficult,
so as a teenager, I had a dream, and the dream was coming to America one day and
live in my dream as a writer and actor. And that was Tom Cruise who gave me the
power and determination to do so. When I grew up, I could not communicate with
other kids, cause their world was just the small village, but I wanted to fly,
to do so'Top Gun,' to fly in the unlimited sky. He taught me miracle does exist
if you try hard enough."
Well, the question is how Tom Cruise, the
popular Hollywood star, changed a small village girl's life in China? You may
wonder how this happened. Well, believe or not, it is only because of the 1986
hit -- Top Gun.
"It was very difficult to watch movies in the remote
country side, not even to mention big Hollywood movies," Niki recalls, "but the
chance did come. One day, a family in a richer bigger village was celebrating
their new born baby boy, so they showed a film, and that was 'Top Gun.' I went
there with my grandpa, and I was only 11 years old. They played the movie
outside with the old-fashion way: a white screen was hanging between the trees,
people sitting on their stools all over the place. I was fascinated. I never saw
something like this. It was the first time I watched a movie, and it just
happened to be 'Top Gun.'
"Of course I did not know who the star was, I
never heard the name of Tom Cruise, but I did know that my life is going to
change just because this determined guy from another side of the world. And I
told myself that I will have to go to America one day and live in my dream just
like him."
Now her dream has come true. She is living in her dream every
day, and doing exactly what she wanted eight years ago. Her life is led by the
faith and courage just like Tom Cruise.
"Tom Cruise made me believe that
dream does come true. After the 'Top Gun,' and I started finding all his movies
and his story -- it's just inspiring to me, he came from nothing, his father
left them when he was in a young age, and he grew up poor but he never lost his
hope. I love people like that, always positive. This book is about love, dream,
and hope, it's about life. I want to show the world that the miracle does exist,
it's all about the power of the mind. I used all my heart to tell this world my
own story with Tom Cruise; it's touching, original and inspirational," Niki says
with great enthusiasm.
Yes, this book is the perfect expression of love,
dream, and hope. It focuses on how Tom Cruise, a super star with a compassionate
heart became the role model of a young talented Chinese girl who came to Los
Angeles to look for her own American dream. It’s funny, fun, insightful, and
sincere. The author reveals her personal story and experience with Tom Cruise,
and wrote with passion and unique vision. It's about how one can achieve his/her
ultimate dream. It's about miracle. It's about totality possibilities. It's
about how impossible can become possible. This book is going to change your
life, no matter if you are 40 or 14, if you still have a dream, you have got to
read this book.
Because of a childhood dream, Niki started following her
dream in early age, she started being creative since 11 years old, and she
published her first book when she was 13 and got offer by the #1 University in
China–Peking University two years later. "It's all because Tom Cruise, I can't
imagine where I would be now without his inspiration. He made me go to the best
university in China and come to America. Keep in short, he made me do exactly
what I always wanted to do. Tom Cruise to me is like Scientology to him -- Tom
said how Scientology changed his life, and I want to tell him how much he
changed my life. It's to do with determination, it's to do with faith and
love."
Niki now is 20 years old, the author of 6 books, and this book is
her first book in English. She also finished a screenplay, which also was
inspired by Mr. Cruise. Niki expects Tom Cruise to star in it.
"Dream
does come true -- American dream does come true. I always told myself, if not
because of Tom, I would probably still live in that small village of the third
world country and just like all other girls I grew up with, married in the early
age and never know how big the world is." She blinks her black shining eyes with
great gratitude. "I was lucky, very lucky cause one person changed my life all
the way around. Now I am living in my American dream everyday, and this book is
just a start, cause my ultimate dream is to make movies."
Niki said a lot
of publishers are interested in publishing the book, but she wants to find the
most enthusiastic publisher to make it a bestseller. "Actually I already know
this book is going to be a bestseller, cause it's for everyone, no matter you
like Tom Cruise or not, as long as you ever had or still have a dream, you got
read it. It's so inspirational, and it's going to change your life."
What more can I say? When I'm facing this ambitious young artist who
came a long way from a third world country who already have several books
published and went to the Chinese Harvard when she was in such a young age, I am
speechless. I think her life, as itself, is already a legend.

"A lot people ask me if I still want to marry Tom after all
his “Crazy” behaviors. “What crazy behaviors?” I asked. “Well, like his suddenly
crazily in love; jumping up and down on the couch; and what he has said over the
media.” “Like what?” “ Like Scientology, like psychiatry and medication…” Tell
you the truth, I think Tom is fucking hero, you name one star can be so frank
and brave over the media, if being yourself is a problem, then I would say we
are not really liberate even in this capitalistic country. Ok, psychiatry, I
can’t agree more on what Tom has said. There is no such thing is Chemical
imbalance. How true it is! I never take any drugs, they are poison. All the
human illness caused by the mental. Chemicals can’t heal them. What makes you
sick at first place is your MIND. Not to mention about postpartum depression,
it’s mental problem, how the hell it can be healed by some chemicals? Once
again, the drugs may deduct the symptoms, but they can’t heal at the root level.
I healed my depression by exercise and positive thinking and I’m not even a
Scientologist.
Tom is going to China to shoot Mission Impossible 3 in
Nov. And I am going with him, as his translator and fiancée. I will make sure
Tom meets my parents and grandma, have a big fat Chinese wedding in the
countryside I grew up." -- Niki YAN
