Maidongxi set down his suitcases. He ’ d finally arrived. The Moon. What a place. 
 
 He looked up at the sky and saw Earth. There was China. Home. Weren ’ t you supposed to be able to see the Great Wall? 
 
 But China wasn ’ t Home anymore. The Moon was Home now. 
 
 Maidongxi lowered his gaze. He stuck his head through the tall wrought-iron gate to get a better view of the Castle. The only Castle on the Moon. It had been a pretty good deal, too. Only 8888元per square meter. That was cheaper than Shanghai. 
 
 The Castle shone, reflecting the sun ’ s light. The immense backdrop of empty space and distant stars looked like an oil painting. Towers spiraled up towards the Milky Way. 
 
 Back on Earth, Maidongxi had sold the Forbidden City to foreign investment banks. Five times. He had been on his way to meet a sixth buyer when a guy who looked like Sean Connery grabbed him. Maidongxi had stomped on the guy ’ s toes and ran away. The Sean Connery-lookalike had shot Maidongxi ’ s fedora off. Earth wasn ’ t safe anymore. 
 
 Maidongxi sighed at the memory. He took out his key. The massive black iron gate ’ s keyhole was housed inside the mouth of a wrought iron lion—jaws frozen open. 
 
 Maidongxi stuck the key inside the lion ’ s mouth, fumbling around for the keyhole. He couldn ’ t find it. 
 
 He took out his flashlight, shined it into the lion ’ s mouth. There was the keyhole. He shoved the key in there. The lock didn ’ t turn. Maidongxi grabbed the gate with both hands and tried to push it open. The gate groaned in protest. 
 
 “ Hey! ” A man shouted, putting his hand on Maidongxi ’ s shoulder. “ What are you doing? ” The man was wearing black pants, a red tunic with gold buttons, and a tall bearskin hat. 
 
 “ What are *you* doing? ” Maidongxi said, “ Get away from me. You ’ re trespassing! ” 
 
 “ Trespassing? ” The man laughed. “ I suppose you ’ re the Queen of England then, eh? ”
