In "Dragonwings" by Laurence Yep, sleepers refer to the Chinese immigrant laborers who work long hours in difficult conditions, often in the context of the early 20th-century Chinese American experience. They symbolize the struggles and sacrifices made by these individuals as they seek a better life amidst discrimination and hardship. The term also highlights the theme of resilience and the pursuit of dreams, which is central to the story.
