"The Blue Dragon: A Tale of Recent Adventure in China" by Kirk Munroe is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young Chinese boy named Joseph Lee, who has traveled to America for education, only to face prejudice and hostility from American youths shortly after his arrival. The narrative explores themes of cultural clash, identity, and the journey toward acceptance as Jo navigates the challenges of his new environment. At the start of the tale, Jo faces a hostile reception in the manufacturing village of Hatton, where he encounters a group of boys who mock and assault him due to his Chinese heritage. The narrative vividly depicts the events of his first morning as he is tormented by the local children, creating a sense of both sympathy for Jo and urgency for intervention. Amidst the chaos, Rob Hinckley, the son of the village's parson and one of Jo's initial supporters, enters the fray to defend him, ultimately leading to a clash between the boys. This conflict sets off a series of events that questions the nature of friendship, loyalty, and the challenges faced by immigrants in a new land, laying the groundwork for Jo's transformative experience in America.
