Shi Yan-sheng Quotes:

  • Shi Yan-sheng: [says the evening prayer]

    The Abbot: So noisy! Even the birds can't sleep! Didn't you want peace?

    Shi Yan-sheng: I want to say the evening prayers.

    The Abbot: Go sleep in your room!

    Shi Yan-sheng: I can't sleep, my heart's not at peace.

    The Abbot: Go find something to eat!

    Shi Yan-sheng: Not hungry.

    The Abbot: You don't eat, tummy's empty, heart's not!

  • Shi Yan-sheng: Got it! I've got it... Starved to death, I'm the same as the others. Fundamentally, all are the same. Fighting in battles, killing countless people. Did I have innate mercy? Xuan Wu Gate, was it for righteousness?

    [points at his heart]

    Shi Yan-sheng: He'd thought about titles and fame! He wanted to be grade one generalissimo! Leading armies of millions, acquiring great fame, betraying his lord! This heart, same as those curs. Base, black, filthy, cold-blooded!

    [voluntarily bangs repeatedly his head against the wall]

    The Abbot: Careful!

    Shi Yan-sheng: This vile skin bag of a body! What use is it?

    [bangs more violently his head]

    The Abbot: I've yet to dwell herein.

    Shi Yan-sheng: Can't calm down... Can't forget... Can't...

    The Abbot: If you're 100 years old like me, you will forget even if you don't want to.

  • Qing-shou: You're not a monk... You've caressed me...

    Shi Yan-sheng: You're Hong-e.

    Qing-shou: I'm just a widow...

    [caresses his body]

    Qing-shou: Your body's like a general. A general who's cut thousands of heads...

  • Emissary: By the Grace of Heaven, the Emperor so decrees: Emperor rules with sincerity and faith. He thirsts for talents. Now orders Jing-yi to return to the Palace, to be promoted to grade one Generalissimo, his late father posthumously made Generalissimo, his late mother a Noble Lady. By Imperial order, 1st month, 1st year of Emperor Shi-min's reign.

    Shi Yan-sheng: This armour doesn't keep warm, hampers farm work. It's useless.
