Here is how the story starts: Once upon a time, Sparkle, a young dragon, lived in the beautiful land of Eldoria. Sparkle was a busy, bright dragon who was always eager to learn new things and bring happiness to the world. From the moment he came out of his golden egg, Sparkle's spirit shone brightly. His scales sparkled in a variety of colors, showing how much he loved life and wanted to spread happiness wherever he went. As a young dragon, Sparkle was very interested in everything. He would do dangerous things like fly through the air and jump into clear lakes. He would fly through thick forests, making a soft breeze that told the trees stories. Sparkle thought that every part of the world had a secret treasure, whether it was a beautiful view, a new friend, or a moment of pure happiness. Sparkle's bubbly enthusiasm made all the other animals he met smile. Birds would chirp a little louder, rabbits would jump a little higher, and even the old, stiff trees would sway with joy. Everyone Sparkle met seemed to be at their best when they were around him. Sparkle was special not only because he was always full of energy, but also because he really wanted to make people happy. If he saw a sad face or felt a heavy heart, Sparkle would do everything he could to cheer up the people around him. He would do crazy things in the air, make beautiful patterns in the sky, and even tell silly jokes that made the air shake with laughter. Sparkle's best way to make people happy was to throw surprise parties. Sparkle knew that celebrations brought people together like magic, whether it was a picnic under a rainbow, a dance party under the moon, or a surprise party to welcome spring. He would gather animals of all shapes and sizes and bring them together through laughter, music, and pure joy, thanks to his outgoing personality and charisma. Sparkle's happy energy could be felt all over the place. When he went to different towns, people were thrilled to hear his wings flapping in the distance. Children would gather to wait for him, eager to hear about his brave adventures and amazing finds. Sparkle's lively energy would help adults forget their problems for a while as they joined in his happy celebrations. As Sparkle flew through the air, his heart was full of goals. He realized that he had been given a gift: the ability to make people happy all over the world. And he took on this job with unwavering drive and a smile on his face all the time. Sparkle saw the world as a canvas, and he was the artist. He used bright colors and strong brushstrokes to paint a picture of joy and wonder. He thought that every moment was a reason to party, and he made it his job to make the world a little brighter and happier because he was there. Sparkle the dragon went on a journey, and as he went, he left a trail of happiness, love, and colorful energy. Everyone who met him looked up to him because of how much he loved life and how hard he worked to make other people happy. Sparkle showed that she was a lively, eager dragon who loved to travel and spread happiness all over the world. Eldoria, the enchanted land of wonders, and Eldoria, the place of amazing festivals, drew everyone who heard its name. It was known far and wide for its beautiful views, strange animals, and fun festivals, which brought tourists from other countries to see them. Eldoria looked like a secret treasure tucked away among the rolling hills. It sparkled with a beauty that was hard to ignore. The world's different landscapes made a beautiful fabric that drew people in with its ever-changing views. The rolling hills moved like waves, and the lush plants on them told secrets to anyone who walked over them. Every step on Eldoria's rich land made people feel awe and respect for the natural wonders inside. Crystal-clear lakes reflected the beauty of the land in the same way that the sky did. The sun shone on their surfaces, making a beautiful show of light and color. These peaceful puddles of water had a wonderful air about them, as if they were portals to another world. Anyone who saw them wanted to jump in and relax. The beautiful mountains of Eldoria rose above them all, their tops reaching for the sky. They stood like guards of the kingdom, shrouded in mist and mystery, showing glimpses of hidden gems and secrets waiting to be found. The awe-inspiring strength of nature was shown by the mountains, and their frightening presence showed how grand the realm was. Eldoria was interesting for more than just its views. Each magical animal in the land was more interesting than the last. Eldoria was a safe place for magical creatures like beautiful unicorns galloping through fields and mischievous fairies flitting among flowers. They lived in harmony with the land, and their presence gave every nook and corner an otherworldly magic. Eldoria was most interesting because of its big parties. The realm took the art of partying very seriously and came up with new ways to do it. As each event got closer, there was a buzz of excitement in the air, which gave the realm an electric energy. Residents of Eldoria, who are known for having positive attitudes, put their hearts and minds into making beautiful decorations, delicious foods, and amazing performances. The celebrations in Eldoria were a lot to take in. When the wind moved the flags, they spread a variety of colors across the streets. The smell of delicious foods wafted through the air, luring people to try the culinary treats of the realm. Musicians played happy songs, and their works made a joyful symphony that could be heard all over Eldoria. The beautiful parties showed how much the realm values life's pleasures and how strong it is when people work together. The people of Eldoria knew it was important to appreciate the beauty of nature, the bonds of friendship, and the successes of the human spirit. They knew that even when life was hard, celebrating could give people hope, bring people together, and light the spark of magic that lives in each person. Eldoria was full of wonder and magic because it had beautiful scenery, magical animals, and big events. It was a lesson that beauty can be found in every part of the world, and that celebration is a global language that can be understood by people from all over the world. In Eldoria, celebrating life was an art form and a way to show appreciation for the great things around them. When people left Eldoria, they would remember its amazing beauty, the fascinating creatures they met, and the joyful celebrations that had moved them. They would always remember how much they liked Eldoria. It would be a call to come back and get lost in the realm's enchanting embrace once more. The wonderful parties in Eldoria became stories that people whispered to each other and storytellers told. People far and wide heard about the colorful celebrations in the realm, which made them want to see it for themselves. People came to Eldoria excited and ready to see the magic it had to give. The people who lived there were very proud of their ability to plan really great celebrations. They saw each event as a chance to honor their ancestors, show off their talent, and bring the community closer together. The partygoers wore elaborate outfits, each of which told a story or showed a certain theme. Every detail, from the beautifully carved masks to the carefully made decorations, was carefully thought out to make a feast for the eyes. Music and dancing were part of Eldoria's events. There were pleasant sounds in the air that made people want to move to the beat. Skilled musicians played traditional instruments, adding rhythm and happiness to the atmosphere. Dancers twirled and spun with perfect beauty, their moves matching the magic of the realm. But what made Eldoria's parties stand out was how they made people feel. The people who lived there had a welcoming and open society, and they invited people from all over the world to join in the fun. People who had never met before became friends as they laughed, danced, and told stories under the stars. The realm became a place where people of different races and backgrounds came together because they all loved the wonders of life.

One has to marvel at the tremendous material progress of China under the New China concept. The sweeping skyscrapers, the architectural creations of the Olympics and space successes are a wonder to behold! But there are other criteria by which a nation should be judged. Shouldnt the spiritual and political advancement of the people also have equal importance? If the people are kept in a gilded cage, can that be good even though you fill their bellys and clothe them beautifully? This book is dedicated to stripping away the glitzy exterior and taking a hard look at the sinister interior. President Reagan used the blunt but realistic term Evil Empire which is closer to the truth! In this case it is the evil dragon, the Chinese Communist Party, that towers above the law and the Chinese Constitution that is the terrible truth! It has no limits and no purpose in life other than its survival regardless of human cost. In its wake it destroys all human dignity of individual expression in exchange for material wealth. It demands unthinking obedience for the material rewards. But like all Chinese empires in its thousands of years history, a day of retribution will come! When, is anyones guess, but some factors that foretell its eventual demise is suggested in this book.
