“We are more than stereotypes.
We are more than rice.
And we cry and laugh and dream
and hope.
Our passions open eyes.
Yet they spit on us and hate on us.
Yeah, they aren’t very nice.
But we won't ever wave the white flag.
Come and heed our battle cries.”
Phoenix Ning, Eastern Dragons Don't Breathe Fire

Phoenix Ning, Scarlet Butterfly

“We are the Descendants of the Mighty Dragon,
and we rise against the slander painting us as Beasts.
The wyrms are the ones spitting flames.
Not us because Eastern Dragons don’t breathe fire.”
Phoenix Ning, Eastern Dragons Don't Breathe Fire
