"Dragon and Subway" Author: Ma Boyong Publisher: Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House

Introduction · · · · · ·
There were hundreds of dragons living underground in Chang'an City. The residents liked to climb on the backs of the dragons and whiz through the extensive tunnels.

Every year, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would send officials to the Hukou of the Yellow River to attract koi that had just jumped over the Dragon Gate and promise them a decent job.

An old dragon complained tiredly: "It took me more than ten years to jump over the dragon gate and come to the capital with my dream, but now I still have to take the subway every day."
