Wish Dragon

In the end, Din’s journey with the wish dragon, LongZhu, highlights the importance of love, family, and true connection over material wealth. LongZhu, once a greedy emperor from the Qing Dynasty, was punished and transformed into a wish-granting dragon to learn the value of kindness and selflessness. Throughout the story, he serves nine masters and finally the tenth, Din, who is pure-hearted and determined. By granting Din’s final wish, LongZhu sacrifices his chance to fully enter the spirit world, choosing instead to stay on earth and help his friend. This act of self-sacrifice underscores the film’s message that real happiness comes from meaningful relationships, not riches.

The ending scene shows Din discovering a white teapot similar to the original green one. When he calls out to LongZhu, the dragon explains he sacrificed his own peace to fulfill Din’s last wish. Din, moved by this, quietly says goodbye, placing the teapot on a rickshaw and hoping to meet his friend again someday. The film’s roots in the classic Arabian Night’s story of Aladdin reinforce the themes of wishes, friendship, and sacrifice, transforming the tale into a heartfelt celebration of human connection and kindness beyond material gain. Ultimately, the story reminds us that the greatest magic lies in love and selflessness.
