“All these years I kept my true nature hidden, running along like a small shadow so nobody could catch me.-Ying Ying”

“For all these years I kept my mouth closed so selfish desires would not fall out. And because I remained quiet for so long now my daughter does not hear me... All these years I kept my true nature hidden, running along like a small shadow so nobody could catch me. And because I moved so secretly now my daughter does not see me... We are lost, she and I, unseen and not seeing; unheard and not hearing, unknown by others. ”

“But I will win and give her my spirit, because this is the way a mother loves her daughter.-Ying Ying”

“Ying-ying, you have tiger eyes. They gather fire in the day. At night they shine golden.”

“Ying Yang ”

“My daughter Mei-Ying prefers to spend her time riding and practicing Shaolin fighting. No man will marry a woman who can toss him to the ground.Zhou shakes his head with a father's loving exasperation.”
