“"WE'RE ALL DOING OUR BEST TO SEE THE DRAGON AND RECORD ITS PASSING" .... Ken Liu is a mastermind..i love this story about understanding n seeing what others are seeing or saying thru their eyes.. in this case its the struggle artists goes thru when others cant see what they are conveying while audience sees in their way what they see and feel”“4.75
“Even the grandest legends are but whispers in the passing storm of history.”
Ken Liu’s The Passing of the Dragon is a breathtaking short story that lingers long after the final page. In just a few thousand words, Liu masterfully blends myth, history, and human emotion to explore how stories endure—or fade—over time.
What struck me most was its delicate dance between truth and legend: the stories we tell, the ones we inherit, and the ones we leave behind. Liu’s prose is as beautiful as it is profound, filled with moments that demand reflection.
For anyone who loves thoughtful, lyrical storytelling, this short read offers immense depth and emotion in just a few pages.”
