EXPLANATION:

Dragonwings is a children's historic novel by Laurence Yep featuring the 'Chinese-American' experience in the US, particularly San Francisco, immediately after the 'turn of the 20th century'. This story was inspired by the story of a 'Chinese immigrant' who created the flying machine in '1909', 'Dragonwings' and which touches on the dreams and struggles of Chinese immigrants in search of opportunities and the prejudice face in San Francisco.

The central character is Moon Shadow Lee who grew up in China, having never seen his father, who had travelled to The Golden Mountain in the US and worked very hard in a family laundry that served the white demons (referring to the Americans). When Lee was on 9, a relative named Hand Clap returns to China for a short visit and when Hand Clap returned to the US, Lee goes with him. Lee is shortly reunited with his father and received some wonderful gifts from his father, new friend, and uncle. From his uncle, Lee had received a pair of new black leather boots.

From his new friend he received a shirt and some trousers. Lastly, Lee had got a beautiful kite from his father, for whom kite making was a forte. Lee found out that his father, known as Windrider, had a dream of a great dragon king. Lee’s father due this dream believed he was a reincarnated dragon doctor, and believed he should prove himself in this life to reincarnate back into his original form.

He had a dream which was connected to his earlier life, that is, Windrider wanted to fly. With the gift he had for mechanics, he believed he could do it. Lee’s father dreams of building a flying machine just like the Wright Brothers. Lee encouraged and supported his father, even as they endured hardships such as survive natural (earth quake) and man-made disasters (culture and racial issues between immigrants (Asians) and American citizens) between the white demons (Americans) and Tang.

As Lee and Windrider struggle to survive in a hostile nation, they in some way found time to focus on their dreams. Moon Shadow struggles alongside his father as they both build their dream and work to. Windrider ultimately builds an airplane and paints it like a dragon, hence naming it Dragonwings.
