In thinking about dragons images I have encountered in my life. I was born in England, and the English flag is made up of St George’s Cross. St George was fabled to be a dragon slayer himself according to legend, having succeeded in defeating the dragon that threatened the land. Looking back, I remember as a child I used to watch Dungeons and Dragons, a cartoon about a team of warriors setting out to destroy evil. Here’s a brief video clip of the show:



More recently the business and entertainment show Dragons Den is about millionaire entrepreneurs in London aka ‘Dragons’. In the City of London, there is dragon symbolism everywhere on walls and train stations, therefore London is linked to Dragons too. Then in 1999, the Chinese Communist Party begun persecuting Falun Gong. The Chinese Communist Party has been symbolised by a terrible red dragon. The poem that follows also symbolises the CCP as such in a dramatic evocation of a scene of persecution pictured by the poet:

I.
The red dragon dives through the night,
Eating or killing those below,
Seems like fifty years without light,
The scared young man approaches slow.
II.
Twilight village, quiet morning,
His statement nailed on a pole hangs,
The first daylight soon adorning,
"I quit your dark Communist gang."
III.
Police bang hard at his locked door,
A small baby begins to cry,
An empty dish breaks on the floor,
No one bothers to ask them, "Why?"
IV.
Burning flesh and muffled screams fill,
The communist labour camp walls,
Trying in vain to break his will,
Outside, red leaves begin to fall.
V.
Looking straight in the dragons eyes,
Others try to run away fast,
In its mouth a poor victim dies,
The young man's thoughts of death have passed.
VI.
The camp guard looks in the man's eyes,
Freedom and blood stuck on his face,
The sickened guard tries not to cry,
"We should throw him out of this place!"
VII.
Half alive on a Beijing street,
Two directions that one might go,
Already on his shoeless feet,
What good is a sword that is slow?
VIII.
Bright village on a bustling day,
Returning like a floating soul,
Everyone has something to say,
Twenty statements are on the pole.
IX.
How easy it seems to remove,
The red dragons huge ugly head,
Looking back now it seems to prove,
The great fear was all in his head

The Red Dragon Slayer , by Evan Mantyk

I would say dragons, specifically red dragons, are a big no no. There are good types of dragons too but they are certainly not red dragons. As a Falun Gong practitioner, I and fellow practitioners oppose the persecution of Falun Gong by the sinister red dragon. In the prior post of the ‘sword dance’ the lady slays the red dragon. Millions of people in China today are withdrawing from the CCP owing to a publication called the Nine Commentaries, which has laid bare the true history under the CCP, shocking the Chinese people. It seems the red dragon is on the road to complete elimination.

The poem has been adapted into a song by The Alchemy which can be downloaded by clicking on the title of this post.
